Why we do not have cable

This weekend my parents were in Florida and Garth and I had the privilege of house sitting. We had the most lovely, relaxing time! Poor Garth has exams this week so he had to spend most of the weekend studying. So while he studided, I enjoyed having cable! I will admit I was a couch potato this weekend.

I have become addicted to Top Chef, The Real Housewives of Orange County, Millionaire Matchmaker, Designed to Sell, My First Home, and House Hunters. I'm not proud of my obsession with these shows, I know I'm rotting my brain. In my defense, I was productive! I made food, did laundry, shoveled the driveway, played ping pong, and worked out.

Last night I was watching something and Garth tried to get me to play ping-pong (again) and I told him I couldn't because I needed to find out how this show ended. Garth replied, "This is why we're never getting cable! I will never see you!"

TV enters our home

After 9 months, Garth figured out how to get basic cable on our television. We went from having no TV to having more than 8 channels! It seems with the new change, I have lost Garth to the Olympics. He can't wait to get home and watch it and cheer for South Africa. I'm enjoying the Olympics though as well. I'm loving the synchronized diving, gymnastics and swimming! I think this is the Olympics I have enjoyed the most, and maybe it's because I have my best friend by my side. It's like a whole new culture in our home now! The TV is buzzing instead of music. Our time is now occupied by the Olympics instead of cards or reading. I'm sure the TV hype will die down after the Olympics, but we're enjoying being patriotic. Go USA! Go RSA!
