I can go without a lot of things for 23 days. Cable TV…my DVD collection of SATC episodes can handle my entertainment needs well past 23 days. Clothing purchases…made easier by the plethora of poofy shirts in style this summer. Chocolate…this one is hypothetical, but I’m assuming I could do it. Internet, on the other hand, is a completely different ball of wax. I just went 23 days without it. I whined about its absence. My hands twitched when I looked at my useless keyboard. I had a ‘Girl Interrupted’ moment (or two) on the phone with an AT&T representative. And now it’s back. I’m reading FB status updates out the wazoo; emailing pictures of my kid to anybody crazy enough to have provided me with an accurate email address; and re-acquainting myself with avatars. Welcome back, internet.

Welcome Back!
I was afraid the delicious pretzel squares had staged a revolt, capturing the kitchen and drawing battle lines somewhere between the dining room and the living room.
We all know waging a war with snacks is incredibly difficult.

23 days?
I think my friends and family would abandon me by the roadside after the 14th day!

Welcome back indeed. I swept up and took out the garbage since you have been gone. No need for thanks. Just pay it forward.

Now that’s some intestinal fortitude right there Allison. I was wondering where the heck you were. Busy with real life. Welcome back.
