&nbsp;

I wanted so badly to participate fully in <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/04/18/day-204-screen-free-week-kickoff/" target="_blank">No Screen Week</a></strong> back in April, but I couldn't turn off computers because of my day job (heavily computer) and the blog.

&nbsp;

But I can certainly do this for 2 days over the weekend.  I can't wait to report back to you on what unfolds during this weekend of Screen Freedom!

&nbsp;

In the meantime, if you need me, call me!  :-D
