Surfing

It started at 3 a.m. when Nathan came into the bed.  I've been awake since.  I rotated the trays in the dehydrators, where I'm drying Gala apples sprinkled with jello.  Yum.  Then I went to the computer and have been surfing the internet for 2 hours!  Time flies!  What did I look at in that time?

1. The news that Cory left up last night.  He loves to read national news and keep up on the times.
2. My default site: soyouthinkyourecrafty.blogspot.com  where I vote on what I think is the best craft, which
         led me to...
3. A crafty girl's site and all of her projects with quilts, scrapbooking, etc., and where she recommended...
4. Knockoffwood, a site that shows you how to build simple projects without getting intimidated.. (and this
        I was on for a long time because there are so many things I think I can build even though I haven't the     time or money...
5. A site about frugal living, which is written by a home school mom who runs 2 other businesses.  This was
         very fascinating to me...
6. 5 meals in one hour, or something like that....

So, this is how I spent my time this early morning, which tells me something of my thoughts.  I like to think about things to do.  I like to see how other people do things.  I don't, however, carry out enough of my thoughts.  I have so many projects in my head for our home right now that I really don't need to go looking for more.

The internet can be so scary.  Of course because of predators, pornography, scams, etc.  But also because of the sheer amount of information.  All of these accessible words can either be enabling or disabling, depending on your judgment.  For example, if I had spent my time looking at just one of these sites and then doing something about it (write a letter, make something, etc.),  my family would have been much better served.  Rather than surfed.  Ha Ha.
