But sometimes I lean more towards the technology habit that I need a bit of a forceful nudge. ;) @ lynn: Don't you love it! Instead of resistance... you're right, just flow with it. Boardgames and candlelight... perfect! @ Debt Ninja: Now and again... definitely. And thank you. It took awhile for me to find such a clean and functional layout. If you were here any sooner you would of seen the ever changing template blog. lol! Thanks, again. I like yours, too. Oh ya, and your ever so funny drawings. :) @ Living the Rural Dream: I agree… a little of both. But sometimes I lean more towards the technology habit that I need a bit of a forceful nudge. ;)

I love 'em, too. They're so peaceful as you realize there's nothing you can do but go with the flow.

It's true, you get to really 'talk' and spend quality time together. We have been unplugged for a week now and it's been wonderful ... although I can't deny that having internet now for a couple of days is also quite lovely as I get to check in on people like you! People who, without modern technology, I might never get to know. I think it's great to have a little of both - but always important to force ourselves to 'unplug' from time-to-time. Thanks for stopping by my blog recently! ahhhh how I love unplugging!!!! It’s true, you get to really ‘talk’ and spend quality time together.

I know what you mean. When I was in High School pagers just started becoming the rage! Let me know if you find the simpler, less complicated time. ;) @ Kiwi Chick: I like the power cut idea! I told me son (14) that we were going camping and he was talking about bringing the computer! LOL. Not. I told him camping was about getting away from it all! Oh... their day and age of a teenager! @ Ms. Money Chat: I think the power outage is a forceful quiet time. Since, I can't find the time... it was made for me. ;) @ Over the Cubicle Wall: Yes, my daughter thought so too. LOL. Then we ended up reading Princess Diaries to curbside the spooky. @ Shtinkykat: Yes.... UNplug! LOL. Coraline is an interesting movie. @ jpkittie: kids and music... love it when they dance around the house. They are such a free spirit! @ Alex: I think that is it... we have preconceived notions of how "the night" is suppose to go. When we let go of those... well there is just a great time waiting to happen! LOL! Would have loved to hear the old irish miles song in pretended chinese. That must have been hilarious! @ RML: LOL.

one even sticks out – and definitely falls in line with what you say about creativity – when some friends and i went out to party one friday night. power dies as we get ready to own the night. got all sad and bored that there wasn’t anything happeneing then – since i’d just read some eckhart tolle on enjoying the moment, decided that we should just enjoy what’s going on because it was what was. we started having a good time and landed up at a chinese karaoke bar and singing the old irish 500 miles song dubbed in our pretended chinese :)

…more than anything the conspiracy of it is cool. it’s like an adventure.

thanks for reminding me of what it was like.

all the best
