Yep, I’m Addicted
We just got back from the Orff concert the Munchkin performed for in Charlotte. As you read in my last post, there was no internet at our hotel, unless I braved the elements and borrowed the wi-fi from the hotel next door. I used it just long enough to post to my blog and leave a quick Tweet, then got back inside where it was warm and dry. I did not have a chance to map the route to the convention center, the local sights to see, or the best place to find a bathing suit for the Munchkin so he could take advantage of the indoor pool.
I figured I would be able to get connected while waiting in the Charlotte Convention Center while Munchkin had his 2 hour rehearsal. I was sadly mistaken. Theoretically I could have used the wi-fi offered by the convention center, but it was $14.95 per day. I’m sorry, I’m not going to pay $7.50 per hour to Twitter, blog or Facebook. I just can’t afford that.
The Munchkin’s music teacher said she used the free wi-fi from the hotel next to the convention center, the Westin, which was where we parked for the day. On our way to put our stuff in the car before sightseeing, we stopped off to do a little surfing, but again were thwarted. I don’t know why, but I could not even find a wireless network while in the building.
So, I went basically 24 hours without internet. And I was jonesing hard. With DT’s and all. It was so bad that Munchkin was yelling at me to please go post something… before I even ate our late dinner… P-L-E-A-S-E. But I ate my dinner, and here I am. After the drive from the suburbs of Atlanta to Charlotte, and back again all in one day, I’m pooped. I am going to do a quick Twitter check, get my meds from the car, and then go pass out.
At least I haven’t missed a post this month. NaBloPoMo is still in sight.
