Unplugged

I didn't spend a second on a computer this weekend. I loved it.

Don't get me wrong, I love my computer. I love blogging. I love creeping on Facebook and scrolling through posts on my Google Reader. But recently that loving relationship became somewhat of a love-hate one, so I used a weekend trip I took as an excuse to leave my MacBook and DSLR at home and focus on just doing whatever came my way.

It was awesome, and made me realize that I should "unplug" a bit more often. I'll be the first person to admit that I'm a little too reliant on technology at times, and while it's a useful tool, I never want to feel like a slave to my computer. This weekend made me realize that it's not the end of the world to spend a day without checking a million websites...in fact, I might be a little more relaxed because of it. Plus, getting away from blogging for a few days made me way more excited to come back to it with new recipes and other ideas. So I hope you all enjoyed your little break from me.

Now I'm off to the grocery store to restock the fridge and pick up ingredients. My parents are helpless when I'm gone...

Do you ever "unplug" and spend a day or two away from technology? What websites do you check daily?
