doing it again

when i was pregnant with ava  i decided not to have a tv in my home. i figured it would be a great way to force myself to occupy my time with other things and maybe even save a little money. the first few days were rough, but it turned out to be very liberating and it wasn't long until i became competely happy with my decision. once ava was born, i was able to really spend time with her. i would play on the floor with her, roll around with her, and eat at the table with her. it wasn't until she was almost 2 years old that i broke down and bought a tv.

now, i find myself with the tv on almost constantly, even if only to have that background noise. i feel like nathan is getting jipped a bit on that fun roll around sillyness that ava adored. so, i came to the conclusion that i need to do away with tv once again. i need to just get it out of my house and release any temptation. i dont need it. there is absolutely nothing on my tv that i cannot live without. i mean, i dont even have cable, just a simple antena!

not only that, but i think that ava is a bit tv-obsessed. she is constantly watching a movie, or asking to watch a movie, or talking about watching a movie. it's just gotten a little out of hand.

so, saturday marks the first day my tv will be stored away in the comfort of my father's home. far, far away with no temptation to watch. and, i think i like it this way.



so long, my friend. you may be missed for a short while, but i think this is for the better.

btw, that tv-stand you see- well it's for sale. anyone in the area want it? :)
