Did anyone read the article in the January Ensign about turning off the TV? If not, you can view it here. It was pretty inspiring. Basically this lady's TV hook-ups got buried in the attic by insulation and she went with out TV for a while. She discovered she had time to do tons of things, finish projects, read books, spend more time with her family, go to the temple more often. Things she thought she didn't have time for. I thought that now, with the writer's strike, there's nothing good on anyway, so now would be a good time to start leaving it off. I have to admit it's hard, especially after a long crazy day, I just want to turn the TV on and my brain off. But I'm going to start. Last night the weather was on all night because of tornado warnings. So I turned it off, I finished my book while J.Paul did some studying. It was nice to not have the noise.
So, who's with me?

uh, not me.
I'm lame, I know! I'm not read for that yet! But you, my friend, are totally cool!
I'm totally with you. While I've been known to watch my fair share, the tv is a colossal waste of time. Right on girlfriend!
Uh, Michelle, keep reminding me of this as I think Big Brother starts next week - which is, so addicting and the biggest waste of time out there.
Mar, What are these "books" you keep talking about? Is it like tv without the pictures? No, thats radio. Maybe you can do a blog on books- what they are, where to find them, how to use them,etc. Just a suggestion. Love,Reed
Mar, there is only one thing that you are going to do more often in the dead of winter with no tv in the evening...I don't want to have to spell it out but there is a reason people had more kids back in the old days...good luck with that and congratulations JPaul. This is Jen, of course.
