the boob tube



that's it!

i've had it!







i'm swearing off tv for a while...well, after LOST is finished, that is...i mean really, i can't miss those precious few episodes left!


Lately, i've realized just how much mind-numbing worthless tv i watch in a day. let's count shall we...

a. me and the boo boo watch either Lazytown ( crazy icelandic puppet and humans in weird costumes show ) or Go, Diego, Go every morning while we eat breakfast.

30 min.

b. if i am working, then no more tv that morning for me - just lots of internet surfing at work. but if i am at home with the boo boo, then we'll continue watching noggin or nick jr or playhouse disney with bunnytown, wonderpets ( again strange strange super hero pets who only save "baby" animals...weird), or even weirder Yo Gabba Gabba! ( which i secretly LOVE - even though dj lance has to be gay - i mean wow! ), and lastly the most normal of them all my friends tigger and pooh ( where did christopher robbin go and who is darby? )

1-1.5 hrs

c. baby goes down for morning nap, i turn the channel immediately to the either FLN, HGTV, or the food network and allow myself 1 show of home decorating or culinary know how. then i promptly get in the shower.

30 min.

d. baby wakes up, shane is home for lunch and we watch some mind numbing child show again - sometimes dora the explorer is on and it's too cute to pass up when eisley yells at the tv "dowa dowa dowa dowa dowa!!!!!!"

30 min.

e. bye bye hunny! me and the boo boo run and errand or two, go for a long bike ride and then she is down for yet another nap! i empty the dishwasher and then sit down for some "good " tv watching...i'm talking the real world, or america's next top model reruns, more cooking shows...whatever, as long as it is mindlessly entertaining

1-1.5 hrs

f. baby wakes up, shane is home from work. more bike riding or walking. cooking dinner. baby goes to bed we eat and watch MORE tv....we have dedicated tv watching to do: mondays: the hills, tuesdays: tila tequila 2 - i know it horrible, but it's like watching a car crash, you can't look away, wednesdays: america's next top model and the ultimate fighter, thursdays: the office, and lost, fridays: well there's nothing on on fridays but we still watch tv.

2-3hrs

let's add

on the high end ( when i am home all day) : 7.5 hrs!
on the low end ( when i am home all day): 5.5
on the low end ( when i am working): 3.5
on the high end ( when i am working): 5

OH MY GOD! that is disgusting - i am so grossed out! i will say this - i do house hold stuff while watching this, but not enough to justify any of it! ew ew ew ew ew...

we need to get a treadmill badly so i can at least run or do something fitness related while the baby naps!

anyone want to lay off the boob tube with me - after lost finishes in month or so?
