Point and click Today begins Turn-Off TV week. I know, I know. I likes me TV too. But, I've realized that I feel so much better when I don't watch a ton of television. It makes me blue if I watch too long and it doesn't even matter what I watch. Yesterday, I didn't leave the house except to pick up the newspaper at the end of the driveway. I watched a LOT of TV (and napped) while I could have been knocking out some things on my to-do list. Once the TV comes on, though I'm pretty much sucked into it. Who isn't? In the past couple of weeks, I've really been limiting the amount of time I'm plopped on the couch watching... nothing. I'll say it... there was nothing on. It helps that I have DVR and can record and watch stuff whenever I want. Yesterday was just a day when I couldn't get motivated to do anything. Nothing. Zilch. Oh wait, I did fill out a few pages of my homeowner's book and added my paint chips. Whew. What a heavy load! Anyway, give it a try. I think you'll be amazed by the results. I read about a study that showed people who did cut back for one week tended to continue keeping it limited. So go read a book or do some yard work or learn a new recipe or walk around the mall. Anything. Just get off the couch! I'll post daily on how I do.

Ha! I won't be able to give it up completely, but I'll try to watch less. But we'll see hoe well that goes! ;)

I'm a big fan of this! Yay, you! And that's what DVR is for anyway -- you can always watch next week if you have to. ;-)

I'm afraid I'm going to have to protest your protest by watching extra TV. New Wire in the Blood and Medium. Plus Gilmore Girls. And The OC - The Nana is back!

I am weak.

Well, I'm not sure I'll do it. But I like the IDEA of it. :)
