So Adam and I have recently made some changes in our life. One of which is no television. I shouldn’t say no television because there are two flat screen tvs in this house, there is just no cable. The first couple of months have been not too bad. We use Netflix for movies so we always have a show available to watch if we want.

So far there have been two instances that we have missed having cable/satellite. First…supper time. We had fallen into this weird habit of watching Wheel of Fortune during supper time. I know, I know…it’s not like we are 70 or something but we kind of got hooked on Vanna and Pat. Our substitution: you can get the Price is Right online. But all I have to say about that is Drew Carey isn’t Bob Barker.

Secondly, sports. I’ve been saying all along that I am worried about football season. This is the one time of year that I WILL watch tv. Adam has reassured me that nfl.com shows the games live so I’ve been placated with that. Today, however we ran into a “mini” road-block when I wanted to watch the Confederations Cup final between the US and Brazil…we could not find it ANYwhere online to watch. Adam finally found it on some site. It was kind of blurry-we were probably contributing to something illegal I am sure.

So, who knows how long this no tv thing will last. We’ll keep trying. Like I said, football season may be a breaking point. But, it is better for us. You don’t realize how often you just sit down in front of the tv just to sit down in front of the tv…to watch nothing in particular. What a waste. Plus, we are saving a ton of money.
