.....cable.
Yep. It's been a week since we said goodbye to cable. As part of my newly inspired mission to make do or do without, we decided to make the switch. Funny thing is, I don't really miss it at all. I didn't really watch a whole heckuva a lot anyway, but it sort of became a swampy stand-by I would turn to at the end of the day when I was exhausted &stressed and wanting to "relax." Our little guy had a few favorite shows- but after a quick 5-minute meltdown he's over it.
The other day my husband & I turned to each other & said, "what did we actually watch anyway?!" I had the usual line-up of design & cooking shows and of course I'd flip around the news wondering if something SUPER important happened in the world. I'm still watching some shows via the computer while I sew/create/stretch but I guess it's a little more intentional. Like catching up on the Project Runway finale. (yay Anya!) In fact, my productivity has gone through the roof & I don't go to bed feeling like the day is incomplete.
Anyhow, I guess the major withdrawal I prepared for was all for naught. I imagined we'd all be fussing over finales missed and grumbling about no DVR recordings. But, I guess you don't really miss things that weren't truly important to begin with!
I'm now looking for other things to give-up.....
So, tell me - what's something you've given up or done without that hasn't been so hard after all?
