Decided not to post this on Facebook

Because, you know, it occurs to me that maybe my Facebook friends don't want all my half-naked Renji pictures.  (What?  NO WAY.)
Thus, I inficted half-nakedness on YOU, my LJ friends.



So, there you go.  Enjoy.

No Electronics, Kind of...

Mason decided that what he REALLY wanted to do this weekend was have two days electronic free.  OMFG.  How, as a responsible parent, was I supposed to say "no" to THAT?  So, we agreed through gritted teeth.  And, I have to say both Shawn and I decided the only way we could possibly survive this hell was if we were allowed a short time in the morning and again at night just to CHECK TO SEE IF THE INTERNET POSTED ANY NEW LOL CATS.

Because, seriously, a whole weekend away from Facebook?  AO3? LJ?  BOING-BOING?   Was that even physically possible or would my head explode from lack of LOL CAT intervention.

Turns out, I survived.  It was hard.  I was forced to write fanfic BY HAND as well as draw in order get out some of my frustration.  On the flip side, we actually got a surprising amount of work done around the house (I know, weird, right?)  Luckily, Mason abandoned this insanity half-way through Sunday and he watched a streaming episode of his favorite show "MythBusters."  I was allowed to surf.  Shawn had to work, so I'm sure she frantically checked the New York Times, Gizmo and io9 during her breaks.  Then, in a crazy continuation of this whole no electronics thing, Mason and I went for a walk in downtown St. Paul, and he read by the river.
