In an effort to quiet things down for a few minutes (but so as not to stray from my 100 day commitment), this is my third post of the day today. Reason being? Jason and I are going to take a little hiatus from all things technological for the weekend.

Yep, you read correctly. We’re going to make it through at least 48 hours (perhaps a few more) sans computers, cell phones, iPads and the like. We’re taking some time for us and holing up all to ourselves for a few days.

And I’m really excited.

It’s a rare thing that we’re set apart from all of the distractions of the outside world–Facebook, Twitter, emails, phone calls, the incessant buzz of a cell phone notification or text. They come flying at us at all hours of the day, whether work-related, social, or otherwise. And we know that none of this will cease when Baby K arrives, but instead, that all of the buzzing will continue in the background as we address feedings and diapers and fussing and parental life.

So, it’s time for a little break. I’m sure I’ll be temped to peek at a notification here or there in the next several days, but I’m really, really happy to be entering into a distraction free zone. And some time for just us.

I’m looking forward to a small stack of books and magazines (and a journal!) beside me on the table this weekend. We might employ a DVD player for a few hours to watch a movie, and then again, we may not. We’ll take walks, wander out to the beach (which is beautiful at this time of year!), cook meals at our leisure and sleep in until we feel like getting up.

We’ve needed this, so here goes. I’ll be back to my old haunts on Monday and picking up with day #61. Don’t worry. I’ll be thinking about baby and getting closer to my due date all the while. 🙂

signing off, and a bit tickled about it,
