A Television Fast
For the first time since we've been married, Carolyn and I will
not be welcoming TV's beloved characters and shows into our home.
We feel like a lot of our time has been wasted at home in front of
the television and so this month we're trying to challenge
ourselves to find other ways to relax with each other, whether it
be working on hobbies, reading more often or even spending time
with other people.
The first response we had when we began talking about this was,
"Wait, what about 'The Office' or '30 Rock'?!?" Yes, tv
event-wise, May sweeps is a horrible time to begin a television
fast. This month, many of the shows on television have special
events or season finales. Well, while that will be disappointing,
we figure we'll just catch the Hulu episodes next month. So far we
missed the "Celebrity Apprentice" finale after watching it all
season. But we found out from the news and that was okay for us.
Our hope is that we will make better use of the time not spent
watching tv. Video games are also part of the fast.
