I have to admit, I have the TV on more than I would like (usually because of my husband, but sometimes, yes, because of me. I like the background noise). The last few days, though, I have been using it as a mirror to see what the kids are doing behind me. It's a very large, flat screen. I like using it best that way, whilst I read and drink hot chocolate, and spend too much time on the computer.
This past summer, I was visiting family for 2 months and spent maybe 5 minutes total on the computer, and no time whatsoever watching TV. I loved it. I read a lot of books (a LOT) and played a lot of games (canasta, rummikub, monopoly) with my mom and my kids, and spent a LOT of time walking around, visiting friends and family, and taking my kids on new adventures.
I wish I could be like that more of the time. It felt good.
