Jeremiah 29:11

So ...

We've taken control of our TV again.

Following March Madness ... becoming somewhat addicted to American Idol ... watching too much news ... the discovery of Seventh Heaven reruns ... Modern Marvels out the wazoo ...

we've turned the satallite off for a while. It changes our lives ... we sit at the table and laugh longer. We talk more ... we decide TOGETHER what we'll do ... my guys "jam" upstairs ... my son becomes so involved in a book that he stays up until 2am just to read a book that he just picked up because it looked good ... my house is cleaner (not to be confused with clean, like by most standards) ... my husband sleeps an extra 30 minutes in the morning because we don't even get local channels for news in the morning, then brings coffee to me and we actually talk before he goes to work (okay, that would be a plus some mornings and a not such a plus others) ...

my point is ... we have no self control. We are drawn to the magic box with the talking people inside ...

So my question to me is this ... will I be the one who buckles (say, when the Olympics start in August) and has the Satallite reinstated?? Or, will I stay strong?

The reality is ... even if I lasted through the Olympics, which I won't. I would never make it through football season (college or Pro) ... or basketball season (men's or women's) ...

I'm a wimp!!!

Can someone please post about Idol this week ... maybe a simulcast blog again Cindy?

We were just saying the same tonight. We spent 30 min. or so playing guitar and singing together, and we said: "Why don't we do this more? Why is this a once every 6 months thing?" Computer, TV--evening time-suckers....
