Good luck to you. It may take a little time and a feeling of self denial for a while but once you make the break, you will feel so alive again. If you feel you need a fix, might just try emailing a little and not internetting. I always tell R that I miss the early days of our marriage when we had one land line phone, 1 tv that picked up 3 channels, and a stereo was the most sophisticated electronic gadget we owned. And I always felt that the new gadgets that were to make our life easier, usually ended up creating stress, especially when they didn't work right. Maybe a little something for you and M to do would be to let her make pictures and mail them out, and then receive snail mail. Nothing like looking forward to something in the mail. Love to all of you and enjoy your holidays!! Just before I read your blog, I told my husband to look at my desk. 1 desk, 2 computers, 2 printers, 2 cordless phones, and a cell phone to boot!

I had one last week while on vacation and it was fabulous. In reply to Linday, I think it is great to connect with people IRL. For me though, the reality of having small children that need to go to bed at night and can't be left along, as well as living a 45 minute drive from the city, means that I can't get together with people IRL as much as I would like. What I love about the Internet is that I can come online and connect with my virtual friends from the comfort of my home. But you do have to seek out true communities to get meaningful relationships.
