TV Died">Our TV Died

September28

Last night, Jason tried to turn the tv on, and noth­ing hap­pened. It died. Unfor­tu­nately, it hap­pened just in time for all the new sea­son pre­miers and right before win­ter (and lots of inside time). It couldn’t have hap­pened dur­ing the sum­mer when there was noth­ing on, huh? :-) K is pretty sure that Grandpa will know how to fix it when he comes for a visit this week­end, but I’m not so sure.

When Jason and I talked about it, we decided that we were going to try to take advan­tage of this time. I want to read more, sew a lit­tle, and orga­nize! I know sev­eral fam­i­lies that either don’t have tvs or watch very lit­tle. I’m excited to see how my qual­ity of life will change with­out the tv as an option.

“Our TV Died”

    When I moved back into Dad’s house was the first time in years that I had a TV (cable) and I actu­ally pre­fer no TV. Sure there are shows that I like to watch but with­out TV I read a lot more and did more stuff around the house. Good luck!

    We gave up cable years back for bud­get rea­sons and just never started it back. Once it was gone we real­ized that it was an addic­tion for us both and while much of what we watched was good stuff (His­tory Chan­nel [for real!]) we just didn’t need it and liked hav­ing more time to do other things.
    Now with iTunes we can buy episodes of things we really want to watch.
    But, I don’t know if we could have done it if we had chil­dren. Which is funny because it is prob­a­bly even more impor­tant to try no tv with chil­dren.
    Good luck!

    BTW — I love your theme!
