The Net

If I were single and had no children, I’d be just like Sandra Bullock’s character in The Net. I’d sit at my computer, completely unaware of the time of day, and read, play games, blog and chat. I’d have Mexican food delivered and drink margaritas. Blissfully ensconced in a cozy chair, my head would bob from the computer monitor to the television screen. My groceries would be delivered. My friends would be virtual.

But alas, I am married and have two children. I am forced to live in the real world. So I steal my blissful moments when I can. And now and again, an interesting topic lights a fire under me and makes me wish the world would just go away. Now is one of those times.

I won’t reveal to you what passion is currently holding me captive at my computer, calling me to surf one site after another in search of information. I will only say that I’m beginning a project unlike anything I’ve ever done before. My home and family are being neglected tonight, but my adrenaline is pumping and it feels AMAZING.
