Can I Stay Away From my Spreadsheet?

I'm at a self-designed writing retreat (meaning, no externally-imposed schedule or structure, meaning I gotta keep myself on task, no mean feat) in the Santa Cruz mountains this weekend, and I'm doing my best at not letting myself spend all the time I have here doing wedding planning. I did take a peek at my wedding workbook in Excel last night (all ten tabs of it! Yes, I am a planning freak!), but I only made a few minor changes to the budget and then I put it away after a few minutes.

It does help that I don't have any internet access in my cabin and therefore can't spend time surfing the web for the perfect pair of shoes--I'm looking for ivory or silver wedge-heel, no-platform, satin heels with open toes if you know of any nice pairs that cost less than $100--or jewelry--something with pearls.

It's a good thing. I need to get my writing done. It feels good too. And when I go back home in a couple days, the wedding and everything that I need to get done for it will still be there, waiting for me.
