Today I was just feeling lonely, and I wondered why...Was I just not getting out enough? See, Ken takes my car 12 hours a day, so I have no transportation. It didn't take until this evening when I turned the tv on to see what was on, that what I missed were the shows I liked to watch. During the day when I needed a break, I used to just click on the TV and watch a show off my DVR. That was my connection to the world around me. Now that's gone. I'll need to build new connections.
I also didn't realize that channels 2,4, and 5 don't come in very well with our bunny ears on the tv. Now I remember why we got cable in the first place. We couldn't stand the static on the tv. Ok, I will survive this. My husband better take me out on dates more often now! It's not a good thing when I'm looking forward to him being gone on his trip next week, because then I'll have a car.
He called today and asked me what was happening? I said, "Nothing" He said, "Then what's wrong? I said, "That's exactly what's wrong, Nothing's happening!" Well it's time for me to step out of my box and make something happen. Just what exactly.. that is the question?

I understand how you feel.
After we sold our TV, I went weeks where I'd make myself lunch and plop myself on the couch to watch television, only to find myself staring at a blank wall. It was really hard to break that addiction, and I went through withdrawals!
Overall, though, no television has become a good thing. I have my good days when I walk through the house looking for something to do and I end up finishing some project, cleaning out a drawer, or doing something else that leaves me feeling satisfied and accomplished.
On my less productive days, I surf online until my fingers wrinkle. That's the next addiction to overcome...
Your blog is so cute! I need to figure out how to be more creative with mine!
Isn't it strange how much life has changed since we were kids? I remember us in elementary school--never a dull moment!
Come visit me in KY and I'll make sure you're not bored!
