Hubby decided that we are not going to get the cable hooked up at the new house. I haven't told the kids yet, lol. I'm having enough struggles at the thought myself!! How will I get fresh ideas for decorating my new abode if I can't watch those decorating and decluttering shows? *insert ringing of the hands and loud wailing*
Seriously, I have my shows I will greatly miss. (At least Gilmore Girls had their series finale before we cut the tv off!) And it will be requiring some creativity on my part, as now I sometimes use the tv to distract the kids while I do a chore they cannot be a part of. Or if I need to doze on the couch for an hour. Or if I need a shower. LOL
On the flip side, I won't have tv tempting me away from those other projects that I've wanted to do for awhile. Or needed to do, lol.
So I've included a haiku entitled, "Farewell, Boob Tube." Enjoy.
Farewell, Boob Tube.
How I will miss you,
Little box of phosphorus.
Say hi to tivo.
Lily, you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, let me know if you want me to record a few shows for the kids. That way you can pop them in the dvd player when you seriously need a shower...LOL!
I recorded a dvd of some of Logan's favorite PBS shows and cut out the commercials....works great!!
I love me some haiku.
ReplyDeleteYours.was.awesome. :)
Sorry about the tv, but I really do think you will get alot done. The two shows I was committed to ended recently and I have read 2 (long) books in the past 2 weeks. I feels smarter already! :)
LOL, Candi! I think I'll take you up on that sometime! A person has to have some emergency reserves, right? For those Calgon moments? (wink)
ReplyDeleteMichelle - that's cool, especially considering you're already a pretty doggone smart lady. :)
