Vacation from Technology

This past weekend my furnace went out and my house was freezing. Since a fire place has nothing to do with the furnace though, it still worked and it was roaring like crazy all of Sunday. That afternoon I was forced to stay in my family room to stay warm during the day until my plans started that afternoon. During this time I sat on the reclining part of the couch right next to the fire under my blanket with a cup of prickly pear tea and a book by my favorite author. Once I sat down, my phone was shut off and and the only noise you could hear was the crackling of the fire, and since it was sunday, of course, the Harry Potter Marathon on ABC Family. It was really nice to disconnect from the world for a few hours and just read and occsionally peak up at HP. Relying on your phone and checking it every5 minutes to see if you have any new texts is a terrible habbit that we are all guilty of. To not have to do that, or have the ability to do that for a couple of hours out of the day is a really nice thing, and I plan to do that more often.
