NO WI-FI? NO PROBLEM!
Within seconds of signing up for this challenge, I knew what my theme would be. I asked a few friends what I should blog about in this challenge and all of them just looked at me as if I just landed from outer space and was asking directions. It was hands down, no question about it -- DOGS. But not just dogs, OUR dogs. We have had enough of these family members to fill up this daily challenge.
So I started making some notes and was prepared to start writing this week while I was on a speaking tour. Most days I was scheduled to speak at a luncheon so the rest of the day could be devoted to blogging, answering emails and commenting on other blogs. It was a much needed and deserved 'rest'.
You have got to be kidding me!
First day out was totally mine as I would not be speaking until the next day and when I arrived at my remote location for the night -- guess what? NO internet! No Wi-Fi. "Sorry," they said.
No problem, I will read and relax.
Second day - New city - NO internet! No Wi-Fi. "That's okay, I will find a Starbucks."
At Starbucks, they were most apologetic but their Wi-Fi was in need of technical repair. "Sorry," they said.
No problem, I will read and relax.
Third day -- New city - NO internet! No Wi-Fi. "That's okay, I will find a Starbucks."
At Starbucks, they were most apologetic but they have been having technical difficulties. "Sorry," they said.
Fourth day -- New city - BIG city. COULDN'T find a Starbucks. But found an electronics department in a large department store and they had a coffee shop attached. I 'set up shop' and NO Wi-Fi. "Sorry," they said. "You have to be within fifty feet of the electronics department in order to get Wi-Fi."
I got my coffee, had an hour to spare before speaking and set up shop in the electronics department. I opened my inbox to see close to 2,000 emails. I laughed, shut off my computer and drank my coffee.
Lesson Learned: Take Time to Relax, Woman!
So, I am a little behind in my blogging and communication this week but I read a good book, played cards with some strangers and had some good laughs.
Now, I am ready to get down to this challenge -- see you all there.
Most of my posts will be funny stories that I hope will lighten your day and give you a smile.
