Mondays are not big, exciting days around here. I typically stay home and do the laundry. But, I have to admit, I really love this kind of no pressure, “ease into the week” day; and because it was raining off and on, it was even more enjoyable just hanging out in my sweat pants. Even tonight was relaxing. Baseball was canceled and so we enjoyed an early and easy Family Night together. I was even able to fold and put away all of the clothes by 9pm (this was a miracle all by itself).
But the real reason I love Mondays and laundry days…I get to watch TV. About 6 months or more ago, we canceled our cable and pretty much did away with TV all together. But there is this little known thing called Internet TV that still captures much of what I want to watch. I’m even able to cue everything just like I did on my DVR, but on Hulu.
Since I kicked the real TV habit, I have not found the time to watch except for Monday nights while I fold laundry and when I’m running on the treadmill. It is incredibly hard to believe that I used to watch about an hour or two every night! How did I get anything done and how was I ever ok with wasting that much time?
I guess TV is a hard habit to completely break because I have some real incentive to put in a few extra miles more often and I truly enjoy my quiet clothes folding time. So is TV all bad? I don’t know, maybe, but if my body is getting worked a little harder and I’m actually enjoying household labor, it can’t be completely ruled out.
Tonight I got caught up on this season’s The Amazing Race. If there was ever a reality show I would sign up for, this would be it. Racing my way around the world solving puzzles and completing challenges…now that is my kind of fun! I am well aware, however, that I could never take my husband with me. We would be headed straight for divorce court after this kind of competition. It’s hard to imagine that he wouldn’t want to be with me. I’m difficult, stubborn, controlling and bossy, but I’m determined and quick so we’d be a shoe-in to win.
Anyone else want to sign-up?

I like your new layout :)
We love the amazing race too! Great show!
Rob was trying to convince me that I needed to do this show. I love the puzzles and games and stuff, just not so much the bungee jumping and eating weird stuff! Good luck finding a partner.:)
Pick me, Pick me!
