No More tv??

We took the plunge and canceled our TV service.

This isn't the first time we've done this, and no it's not because we can't afford it. We did it back in 2000 and didn't have tv until 2 years ago. We signed a stupid 2 year contract and for the last year, we couldn't wait to get rid of it!

Commercials are trash, even on the "family friendly" shows. I found myself sitting in front of the stupid box way too much. We don't let Nathan watch tv anyhow, so why have it??

It's been off for about a week, and I will admit, I'm going through a detox of sorts. I find myself walking to the living room ready to turn on background noise. Instead I turn on the radio or put in a cd. Oh how I much prefer a good worship cd.

We do watch a good movie in the evening, and I'm sure we'll both start reading more again.

As an added benefit, we have an extra $60 a month in the bank. That will be going to the adoption loans. WooHoo!!
