The world is too much with us....

So this title has a bit of a story behind it. I was hesitant to name it this because I was afraid I'd end up with some 007 junkie looking for THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH so I double-checked IMDB to make sure that it wasn't the same. I totally spaced William Wordsworth. I'm a horrible English major. These are things that I should know!!! Apparently I'm out of literary shape. Urgh. Anyhow-yes. Week one sans internet at home. Honestly, it was lovely. I finished LITTLE WOMEN which I started last June while I was in New York. Once again, out of shape. We ran a 5k. Very exclusive. Roommate and I ran the mileage around Utah lake. It was kind of nice. I had time to garden after work (Our peas are doing very well...the spinach and lettuce are a little lacking). We went on a scooter ride to the cemetery and I found my grandfather's grave. That was a miracle all in itself. I'm the child/grandchild who lives the closest and up until this week I always had to call someone else to help me find it. I think overall, I decided that I like the lack of technology in my world because it allows me to separate myself from the scary world that is out there. I have journaled and read my scriptures every day this week. I ran 5 out of 7 days. I cleaned my room. I was social with people that I'm not typically social with. I enjoyed the sunset (even though it was colder this week than last week). I appreciated the fact that my back lawn isn't a dandelion field like it used to be. I did forget to go pick up my mail, but hey...that's just something else to do next week, right? The chronicles continue...

You could do it next week if the person holding your mail was going to be in town next week! Hope there's nothing important in there. I don't think so. All for the best, instead we should get together to exchange mail
