tv free week


last monday nite we decided we weren't gonna turn on the tv for a week. it just always seems to be on in the evenings if we're home so i convinced zac that it'd be a good thing to just go without it for a week. i didn't really find it hard at all. i think i just leave it on sometimes for background noise and half the time when i actually try to watch a show, half way through i think of something better to do and just leave it on while i get on the computer or read or do puzzles or something.
i think it was a bit more challanging for zac (who technically cheated by setting the vcr timer to tape the new simpsons and the family guy-- but he hasn't watched it yet). my only challange was the football last saturday. i listened to the last quarter of the melbourne-geelong game on the radio but i wish i could have watched it on tv (and i couldn't cheat and do it becuase zac would have been back home before it finished on tv).
today is the first day we agreed to turn it back on. i'm sure as soon as we get home from cooking for fnb (and birthday drinks to celebrate my bday after) the simpsons tape will go on. 8)
