Ahh...television!

Last week I participated in "Turn Off Your TV Week" here is a website with more information: http://www.tvturnoff.org/week.htm

I spent the whole week not watching TV, which I have to admit was pretty difficult the first couple of days.

I did not realize how much time I spend watching TV!!! We don't have a cable subscription which means we only get 4 channels or so, and I still probably spend most of every weekday evening in front of the TV. There's not even anything on! What a waste of time!

So, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about not watching TV. I loved it! I got so much stuff done. And after the first couple of days I really started to enjoy the peace and quiet. It seemed like the days went by a little bit slower, something that I've been hoping for for quite sometime.

What does this mean now? Will I turn off the TV forever? No Way! I've still got my Grey's Anatomy and a couple other shows that I like to catch every now and then.

Will I still turn on the TV as soon as I get settled in after work? Probably not. If there's not something I really want to watch, the TV will stay off! More time for other stuff.

This is the plan for now, we'll see if I fall back in to my old habits.
