While at work today we had an interesting conversation at the lunch table. Everyone was discussing the new season line up on TV, all the new shows and what everyone was watching. I just sat back and listened while they marched through the days of the week and discussed the "it" show for each night. We don't really watch TV which I honestly thought that was somewhat normal but boy was I wrong!! One of my coworkers looks at me and asks "so what do you and J watch?" Well on Mondays we do watch Prison Break, we are both suckers for it but other than that the Today Show in the morning while I am getting ready and maybe the 10 or 11 o'clock news depending on how tired we are but that is pretty much it. You should have seen the look on everyone face. You would have sworn I was a martian from mars that just landed at their lunch table.
"what about sports, doesn't J watch football on the weekend?"
NO
"Nascar?"
NO
"what sports then?"
NONE
"no in the the house WANTS to watch TV?"
IF WE DID, WE WOULD
"so what do you do?"
"what do you guys do for fun?"
"does J agree with this?"
"do you have cable?"
The questions just kept coming from every where and they were all totally in shock. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT DO WE DO? That question really through me for a loop.
We do own a TV and we do have cable, no movie channels though. And for fun, we do lots of things. Play with Olena, ride bikes, scrap book, read, J likes to fiddle with his cars and play in the garage, we listen to a lot of music, maybe work on the computer for bit, and just do chores, chores and more chores. I honestly don't think I could even make any more time to watch TV if I wanted to, we're just too busy. So today I was the "weirdo" in the office.
Tonya, I told them that you didn't even have cable and you grew up WITHOUT a TV. I thought that they were going to die on the spot.
When I left for the day, someone says "goodbye, have a good night not watching TV, what are you going to do anyway?"
Well O is with my mom tonight, I am going to sit and relax in peace and quite for a while. Maybe finish my book, organize my home management binder, blog, update my October calendar, pay bills (yuck), make a card for Olena's OT for tomorrow, have dinner with my husband, have a conversation with my husband, clip coupons, play with the dogs, straighten up the house, work on laundry, make some laundry soap because we are out, fold clothes, put them away, and I am thinking about trying to squeeze a little scrap booking in. And to think Thursday is our slow and relaxing day.
Does it look like I need to watch TV?
