I have not watched television this week and thought it would be good to write a list of things we can instead of turning on the boob tube. I know that I sometimes turn on the TV because I think I am bored. Truth is, I am not bored and I know that I have plenty to do, I just choose to watch the dummy box. Hopefully, I can come back here in a few weeks after I get back into the habit of turning on the TV to help myself find something better to do.

That would be 39 though Jenna. I only had 38 to work with.
LOL. When Ashley and I were in high school we came up with lists like these with our friend Jessica. Remember that Ashley? One of them was about how to tell if you were a computer nerd.
You got most of mine on there. I don’t watch tv (except when I’m exercising in the morning), there is too much other stuff to do. Seriously! I play with my daughters, garden, bake bread, sew, take walks, spend time with my husband…
Great article!
Jenna, I remember that! Aww the simpler times! Maria, we both have realized how much time we really do spend in front of the TV each day. There are so many cooler things to do! I can’t wait to incorporate more of these things into our daily lives!
