30x30

Well, as these days are adding up, I have found that some items on my list have proven 

to be a bit harder to actually accomplish than others. 

Take Day 14 for example...

take a swim in the ocean.

Doesn't seem so hard since we live a mile away, 

yet I didn't take all the factors into account.

Even thought Monday was a beautiful 80°, 

welp that water was still icey.

Joining the Polar Bears Club....not on the 30x30 list.

Among other things were the terrible rip current and choppy waves 

and a major mess of sea weed.

All factors for a relaxing float were a negative.

Hey at least it was warm and sunny.

Yet the boy and I managed to play in the freezing shore break

 for long enough for him to end up soaked.

Of coarse it ended up just a perfect day,

just the way it was.

30x30

Today was Tech Free day in the 30x30 house.

The boy and I we with no TV, no computer, and no phone.

And well, the truth of it is, I cheated a little bit.

You see, the light in the American Apparel dressing room was way to cool to not snap off one picture.

So I did...and then my 3 year old yelled at me to "put my phone away."

Honestly, the entire day (which felt like the longest day of my life) was WAY harder than I expected.

I didn't miss our TV being on at all. 

I loved that we listened to records all day, because we couldn't turn the computer on.

I felt like a crack head trying to kick a habit with my phone,

and we completely lost track of all time and spent 3 hours at the park.

Would I do it again.  Sure.

Anytime soon? Probably not.

But, it was a great big eye opener to how much I/We depend on social media.

Lesson learned.
