Okay so now to my weekend of reflection. On Saturday I did absolutely nothing. Well I watched 13+ hours of TV. The only productive thing I did was grading some papers and entering grades during some of that TV watching. Last night as I went to bed I was disappointed in myself for wasting the day. If this had been the first time it happened it would have been okay but it wasn't. I have come to realize I am addicted to TV. If I turn it on I have a really hard time turning it off again. It doesn't matter what is on TV I will find something to watch. I have a feeling this is partly because I am hiding from my life and don't want to deal with all the stuff going on but whatever the reason I need to stop it. I have decided that I am going to be canceling Dish Network come January when my contract is up. I need to do more productive things with my time then waste it in front of a television. I also have decided to set some other goals for improving myself in the coming months. I need to be happy with who I am before someone else can be happy and want to spend their life as my husband. So this weekend was good for helping me realize a few things about myself so I guess something came out of me wasting my time. I know some of you really probably could care less but I felt like I needed to share. Have a wonderful week.
That horse was quite the comedian!

Yeah for no TV!! You'd be surprise how much you can find to waste your time though when you don't have TV. I sit and stare at the wall for hours sometimes just thinking about nothing. It is nice to have no TV though.
Those cookies sound really good. Jake and I are thinking about getting ride of cable too! Sniff Sniff, I know it is for the best (and the pocket book) But I will sure miss those shows! I am proud of you.
Im going to have to try your cookies they sound fantastic. Hang in there Becca you continueing to improve yourself is always a good thing. I sure miss you!
Sounds like you had a productive weekend after all. You have to realize certain things about yourself before you can change them! Hope you have a better week!
It must have been fate that I found your blog because those cookies sound amazing and my girl is in bed and hubby's at work so hey... I'm gonna give them a shot. I do miss all your cooking upstairs! How are things??
