done and did it

(Side note:  2 posts nearly on consecutive days....I'm turning over a new leaf!)

I am obsessed with TV, specifically reality TV.

If it is produced, I will more than likely watch it.

Mr. Rhett does not like this.....one bit.

But come Friday, I will be saying goodbye to my beloved cable reality shows.

How?

We are getting rid of our cable.

We will only have channels 2-28, and this is just so we can watch the news, and for me to get my home shopping on.

(Everyone likes a good reason to watch QVC and HSN right?)

right?

Why are we doing this?

#1- I waste too much time watching tv and the dvr.  Nothing that I watch is truly meaningful (at least in regards to reality shows).  I need/want to spend more time with God, Mr. Rhett, Max, house chores, and sewing (and blog!).  The TV is just too easy of a distraction, and I can't stop myself from watching it.  I would eventually like to get rid of any sort of programming, but I need baby steps here.  This is a TV detox folks!

#2- Cable is expensive!  With the DVR, we are paying around $75 for extended cable.  Come Friday, we will pay $21 for basic no box.  Strong work Team Lawrence!

#3- My mind is slowly turning to mush.  I need something intelligent to keep my brain from running out through my ears!

#4-  If I had a moment of weakness and needed to relapse, I can watch the shows for free ONLINE!

Wish me luck.  I am really excited to see what will happen with all my new found "free time!"
