Top 10 reasons to disconnect on a Monday.
You ready?
- You played hooky from work Friday and are making up for it today.
- You’re too busy enjoying summer.
- Your brain is on vacation (Mine is).
- You are on vacation (I wish).
- Your socializing with IRL people and friends today.
- You’ve run out of status updates.
- Your moving and without internet (ya, still kinda there).
- You ate sardines and GF crackers this weekend, not really a creative recipe to share. (Guilty)
- You’re spending the day in the kitchen, making goodies. (Yes, Healthy Bite orders to complete today!)
- And finally… your laptop has virus and is getting fixed. (Sad but true. But I’ll take that as a sign.)
Just for kicks, here’s a little Monday Fun!
Wanna catch up on last week? That’s only if you’re not disconnecting.
Here are a few:
And for a great post about taking advice from chocolate —–> READ HERE. Abby, that’s sweet advice! I’m off to go “conserve awesomeness.”
Cheers!

Ugh. I wish I could disconnect on this beautiful Monday, but alas, work calls
If only my job would let me conserve awesomeness, I would be a happy camper!

ditto.
I wish I could disconnect… at least from my work computer.
Sorry about the virus. I hope your computer gets well soon!

about half of those are true for me today including the sardines over the weekend…. not much excitement there haha. Have a great day doing other things!

Booo to the virus on your laptop! I disconnected for the past two days because I was traveling. It was glorious. And I felt a tad guilty for pressing “mark all as read” in my google reader, but I got over it pretty quickly haha

Man I’d love to disconnect today. Could definitely have used an extra day off!
Heather (Where’s the Beach) recently posted..Full Weekend of Family & Friends Time
Sooo so true, I want to get better at disconnecting because I get some serious anxiety when I do! I am sorry about the virus though, how annoying!
Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted..Fear Of The Unknown
this ties PERFECTLY with my post for today…but I had to make time to come here – reading CC is something i WANT to do, not HAVE to do!
only responding because i love my LL. Now, must return to kitchen to make your healthy bites. xoxo
DUDE I’d kill to disconnect today– all of this O-Chem has turned my brain from semi-normal to complete mashed potatoes haha
Let’s go on vacation to Australia together, shall we?? We can stock up on some vegemite! 
Alexandra recently posted..New is GOOD
deal!
ohhh so jealous of the disconnecting! are you guys in CdA? i have to catch up with the Kiwi today! (ps, how do i place an order for healthy bites?)
I think I’ve been too disconnected until recently. I need to find a good balance so that I don’t feel terrible when I disappear for a little while or when I’m “too focused”.
Melissa @ Live, Love, & Run recently posted..Weekly Chase Monday: tracking & staying on schedule.
orrrr you’re disconnecting to LIVE, embracing PRESENCE over plugged-in-ness (yes, that’s a word!). Live it, girlfriend!
Jess recently posted..Double digits and tweaks in (marathon) training
I disconnected yesterday—race day means absolutely no techology for at least 8 hours!
I have to connect today because of work though…unfortunate. Happy healthy bites baking! 
Bre recently posted..where it all began…
Does driving for 5 hours count? Because that’s what I am about to do.
I’m on vacation for the summer. Neener, neener.

Love your top reasons to disconnect this weekend! (except the virus! UGH!) sounds like a fruitful weekend and sometimes, it is SO needed. I am looking forward to doing the same, for the most part, in wine country!

Hi Lindsay,
isn’t it funny how Mondays hit us the hardest? For me disconnecting on a Monday is a sure way to make me disconnect for the whole week.

Lindsay @ Fuel My Family recently posted..Another Good Weekend Turned Bad
I would love to disconnect a little, but lately I have been feeling like I’m always playing catch-up. Talk to me in 3 months, then I’ll be taking a disconnect trip.
oh, i wish i could disconnect … from the text books today but, alas, my summer vacation involves my head being in a book. at least it’s sunny out! reading genetics or microbiology in the sun makes everything better!

I feel you on the disconnect. I had to do the same post-Chile.
So sad for your computer! Hope it’s easily fixed.

Some days I wish I could go live in a tree hut and eat roots and berries. No computers, cell phones, crazy modern day life. Just be a hippie in the bush.
Lou recently posted..next instalment in the saga of healthy baked goods

LCCotter recently posted..Top 10 Reasons to Disconnect
LOVE IT! I’ve been feeling unmotivated for writing blog posts and taking it as a sign that maybe I need to take a little break. Just feeling burned out when it comes to writing lately. I’m enjoying other social media apps though.
She Rocks Fitness recently posted..WORKOUT + Product Review
YES! I still remind myself of your disconnecting policy when you are with your hubs on the weekends and try to follow suit!
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail recently posted..Road to Omaha 5k
i love that you are doing this right now with your hubs on your new adventure!~!!!
haha love that last picture…too funny
great reasons to disconnect. I find myself wanting to do it more, especially since it is summer, my mind always on vacation
Let’s see, I think that numbers 1-6 just about cover me. I’m happy to hear that you’re disconnecting because you’re in the kitchen. I have to place another order soon! Although I’m still undecided as to whether or not I will share with my kids

Little behind in my blog reading =) I wish I were on vacation. And by “I”, I mean I wish my hubby was so he could take care of AJ all day and I could rest. HAHA. Family vacation isn’t until mid-Aug though!!
Love your list. Love you =) That is all!
