That's it! There's nothing else to look at! I've done my very last search possible! I've found all there is to find!
Not really, but I am beginning to feel that way. I'm not sure if anyone else is like this, but I seem to go on internet binges. Surfing is sometimes the only thing I want to do. Today I had 2 Firefox Windows open, with about 5 tabs each. While waiting for one page to load I was flipping over the the other tab, etc, etc.
I was in the etsy forum, the chat rooms, dropping cards, searching for crochet patterns, searching for how different things are selling on etsy, checking out my other sites,.......I think I over-did-it!
It is now 11pm, I'm waiting for the washer to spin out my clothes so I can get them in the dryer before sleeping, (because I didn't wash any clothes today because I was too "busy" on the net.) and there is nothing I want to do online!
This is just a phase, I'm sure everything will be ok tomorrow. I just had to share this phenomenon with you tonight!
Later......

Satellite Internet Fair Access Policy
So as you may have guessed, we live out in the country in rural Wisconsin. There are advantages and disadvantages to living where we live. One is the amount of wildlife we can see around our house. The lack of neighbors too close to our house. And peace and quiet.
One of the disadvantages is dial-up internet access. So 1 year ago, we decided to make the jump to satellite internet access. It's the slowest speed, but still much faster than dial-up. But we exceeded our fair access policy. Which apparently limits the amount you can upload or download in a rolling 30 day time period. When you go over the threshold, you only get limited access to the internet. That is why I've been unabe to post much this week, or drop entre.com cards, or comment on anyone's blogs. It's been a dreadfully long week.
I have internet access at work, but I've been terribly busy there and I always feel guilty if I do personal stuff while I am working. I'm a great multi-tasker, but there's still there's always that thought that I should be working.
So we've been limited on the internet this week, thinking we should have full access soon. I finally called, and we should get full access on the 11th. We could get full access earlier, but it would involve unplugging our modem for 24 hours. 24 HOURS!! No internet access! The technician was not amused when I asked that question twice. He just did not understand the truly addictive nature of my etsy store, blog, entrecard, treasuries, email, etc. So we can continue with slow access until Monday, and hope that the technician wasn't leading me on about getting full access back then. Maybe I should call again and double check with someone else!?!

Who Knew!?!
This summer has been a series of "Who Knew?" situations.
No more blog jumping tonight, no more cruising the etsy forums, no more entrecard dropping, no more multiple windows, no more photos on the blog tonight, (hold on, gotta wipe my tears) hmm, I might actually get some more things made for my etsy shop.
So everyone else, have fun on the internet tonight, I'll miss it all. I'm off to make some things!!
- Who knew that German-Short Hair Pointer could get a sunburn? That 3 types of dogs are susceptable to sunburns: German-Short Hair Pointers, Dalmations, and Pit Bulls apparently. We have always had labradors (Black, Chocolate and Yellow) and now that we have a German-Short Hair Pointer, we never even realized that he could get a sunburn. The poor little dog!
- Who knew that there was such a thing as a limit on the amount of uploads and downloads you can have when using WildBlue Satellite Internet Access.
- Who knew that when letting your 10 year old son go online onto Nick.com, he would decide to stream tv shows? Hmmm, apparently that takes a lot of download power!
