Giving up

Not everything. Just television or cable to be more precise. We have lived for many years without cable and decided to take the plunge a few years back. I had 16 years of Law and Order to catch up on. But 4 years later I am ready to confess that it has taken over our lives. There was a show on every night that needed to be watched. I am ready to take back my life and live it again.

Yesterday I worked on a project that needed doing for quite a while now. A bed that someone had given up needed sanded and painted and so I took the plunge and sanded it, primed it and got a couple of coats of white paint on it. It still needs more paint to get it to the shade that I envision .

Another benefit to this is my children are doing more than being bed vegetables. I have caught them playing chess on most days and I am thrilled.

Benefits. Not for everyone but is good for us.
