I have discovered the internet...

And how I love it.

I have discovered that the world wide web is actually the entire world in my computer. Full of brilliant things, countless of recipes, amazing pictures, witty quotes, how to guides, anything you could ever want. Usually, I am too ADD to remain stimulated for any prolonged period of time. Seriously. Just try watching a movie with me. I will get distracted, do something else for a while, then come back and try watching again; only now with tons of questions because I just don’t get it anymore. And I don’t understand why you’re yelling at me to shut up and WATCH. But I digress.

I joined that site stumble-upon a month ago (I know, it’s like 500 years old in internet years but that just shows how much of a novice I am with cyberspace) and it has quickly started sucking hours out of my life. It’s awesome, you simply save a few of your interests and click stumble. If you like what you see, click like and eventually it adapts its webpages for you. Stumble upon over-stimulates me. Every time I start thinking that I should stop and tackle those filthy dishes, or fold that pile of laundry that literally covers the entire queen mattress in our spare bedroom, or think I should go for a run, or do some yoga, I then think to myself, what if this next stumble is the greatest thing I have ever seen? And thats it, the suspense hooks me. All those other things can wait.

This is my world right now. Stumble. Like. Stumble. Stumble. Stumble. Like. Stumble...

Brad keeps makin' fun of me, calling me an addict, but you know what? All he does with his time is channel surf (thats right he doesn’t even watch TV) and play his new batman game, which honestly looks a little lame. But he doesn’t even know… I’ve been way more productive than him, I just learned a new use for lemon rinds, an awesome recipe for white cheddar mac and cheese, and the Dalai Lama’s 18 rule for living… So he can suck it. I’m sorry Brad, that was rude. What I meant was, you’ll shut up if you want any of this awesome mac and cheese that I’m totally planning on making just as soon as I can get up.

However, I can’t get up right now because I have a beautifully hideous, stinky, old, cancer ridden boxer that I’ve had since I was 14 years old sleeping (and snoring really loud) on the couch next to me, her head in my lap. And I have my laptop balanced on that head. And I'm totally enjoying this moment with her.

Anywho, I am planning on limiting myself to 15 minutes of stumbling each day. So I can spend my time figuring out pinterest. Just kidding… Not really.

Have a good day internet world.
