You don't need to unplug your drive, the Time Machine system preferences panel has a giant OFF-ON slider switch on the lower left. Just turn it off when you don't want it to make backups and turn it on when you want the safety of recovering from accidentally deleted email messages, mis-edited iCal entries, files you've messed up, and so forth.
