Internet Free Weekend - IMPOSSIBLE

I feel like I am too attached to the internet. So I decided to spend a weekend without internet. That means - no facebook, no email, no tweets, no pinning, no imessage, no whatsapp, no ims, no netflix, no spotify and a big list(let cut that short now).

8 am - Checked the phone and found no texts or whatsapp on the screen. My phone is in Airplane mode. So went back to sleep.
9:30 am - Too Bored!! Woke up to read some news on phone. Snap!!! I don't have internet on phone! I cant read news.
9:35 am - Let watch startrek on netflix! Wait! I don't have internet.
10:00 am - Got so bored and finally left the bed. Went to kitchen to make some easy breakfast.
10:30 am - Back to couch after finishing the breakfast.
10:35 am - Calling Mommy! Conversation started.
 ............Long conversation, I have whole day to spend, so i can spend more time on call ................
11:15 am- Apartment Cleaning(Dusting, Mopping and Vacuuming) Start
12:45 pm - Now apartment is clean, time to make some lunch.
2:00 pm - Lunch is done!! Now time for nap.
3:00 pm - Let listen to some relaxing music when I do my manicure. Oh Geez, my music is on spotify.
3:30 pm - Uhm what to do!
3:35 pm - I am so bored! Let read a book. Started reading a book (hard to find any book because most of books are on ibooks). So got a book out of the shelf, which I dusted in the morning.
6:00 pm - Cooking dinner. Oh NO! My recipe is at gmail.
Let cook something simple with less spices.
7:30 pm - dinner is
done and back to book.
9:30 pm - time for some herbal tea
10:30 pm - The day is so long!!! (Thinking) - I have another day to spend
10:45 pm - (Realization) I can't do a internet free weekend. Forget it.
11:00 pm - Switched iphone, ipad back to normal mode.
11:02 pm - Watching netflix !!! Ah - i love you internet

I work for a web industry where we strive to make internet beautiful. But sometimes we forget that how important is internet in our daily life. So, my friends -
Can you spend your entire two days without internet? I can't - but how about you? and if yes how will you spend the day?
