unplugged

Ya know, sometimes in this world of never ended availability, I really like not being connected.  I like turning off my phone and computer and just being alone.  I usually have to make sure I call my mother before I do this.  I don't want to say that she is overbearing, because she is not.  However, she does like hearing from me and I know it upsets her when A) she hasn't heard from me in a while and B) my phone is off.  I especially need to do this when she knows I've been out drinking the night before.   I don't know what she thinks I do when I go out, but she likes to hear from me the next day.  And it does not matter that I've explained to her over and over again that if something (God forbid) should happen to me, she would have been notified. 

So anyhoo, I think this weekend is going to be one of my pathetically awesome TV watching weekends.  Unless of course it is nice out; my friend Bran has a pool, so I'll probably be over there.  And it's kinda rude to be "unplugged" and anti social when you are using some one's pool.
