In an absolutely unprecedented move I am now going to turn off my computer, yes you read it correctly, I am turning off my computer and I am going to tidy my embroidery studio.

You are one brave lady. I'm not sure I could do that.

I have to admit it was anxiety provoking, but I did it, it just made me work faster.

Congratulations for showing such 'won't power', Alice! Looks like you don't need the ten step program in weaning yourself from Cuties (briefly!), after all! :)

I did feel very proud of myself. I really have trouble not having the computer on if I am at home.

Good for you ...I had to make space for my new thread I bought, because Bev made buying it sound fun, LOL...So I had to spend the day rearranging drawers and cabinets. It's pretty neat in the drawers. Now if I can just figure out what to do with the whatnot on the work space.

.....you can either do what you think you must do or forget it relax and have a good time......

I'll take the second choice, thanks.

I think the philosophy has merrit. If you are not going to do the things that you are feeling guilty about, why feel guilty? Just make a decision. to do or not to do.

My DH's baseball game (on TV) was rained out so I managed to get him to help me clean the house from top (he did the upstairs) to bottom (I did the downstairs) and I didn't even turn the computer off. My worst enemy is dusting so he did most of the dusting. It also rained, snowed, and sleeted today so I had to keep him busy. lol Now I have more time for sewing. By the way how long did you keep your computer off? lol

Good to hear you put him to work. Sounds like you got lots done. I had my computer off for 2 1/2 hours.

That must have been dreadful. lol Now that you cleaned and filed you will be able to find stuff faster and have more cutie time.

Well Sally, I am very sorry if I have made you feel guilty, but I have to say guilt is a useless emotion, so you can either do what you think you must do or forget it relax and have a good time. That my motto anyway.

Sally get back to work before the Boss sees you :)
