One Week

Last week Nick and I participated in National Turn Off Your TV week.  It was pretty easy at first, but as the week went on we kind of got really irritated with the whole notion.  We are not the type of people to be dominated by television, but there just was not anything going on last week so it made it harder to fill our time.  We played games with the family, read a lot, went to the library, and took a trip out to the art museum and mall.  It was nice to have the silence and we definitely talked alot more to each other.  Also my mother-in-law and I went to lunch and checked out some local shops.  It was really nice to spend some time with her and just "girl talk"--something I get to do often.  

Overall, nothing profound came out of this experience, but there was more awareness of how we spend our time.  Sometimes we just need to turn off the t.v. and relax.
