And yet another dare.....

Okay, so I am sure that I am coming off as a bit of a "dare addict", but I am really enjoying this and finding it quite fun and fulfilling.  Plus, this is my blog and I can dare all I want.

So, what crazy thing have I come up with?  This one has been stewing in my brain now for quite some time.  Years in fact. Nothing crazy, but an idea that I have been toying with and "feels" appealing. 

I am giving up TV.

For three months.

At least.

So, from today (June 2nd) until August 26th I will not watch television.  I know what you are saying, "Easy to give up TV in summer, nothing is on". Yes, that is true that there is nothingt on, but for some reason I will still sit in front of it even in the summer and watch something. 

How does this dare work with my blog? I will write once a week here on this blog about what it was like and most importantly what I did in place of watching TV. I have been overwhelmed as of late by a large number of projects that I would like to get done and I have a feeling that taking TV out of the picture might help me get something accomplished.

The one exception I am giving myself?  Movies in the theatre with my kids or husband.

Any worries about "missing" TV, you might ask?  I am not a big TV watcher anyway, but  I often use it to wind down.  I am going to have to find another way to do that. I can see a lot more tea drinking going on in my future. 

The Prize?  My husband (whose is coveting a 32" Samsung flat screen) replied "A new TV" when I asked him. 

I could say that all the projects I am going to get done would be prize enough, but that rings of hippies sitting in a circle singing Kumbaya.  Hmmmm, what to do?  How about a this?  It has been sitting on my wish list for quite some time and nobody has been getting the hint......I say I should take matters into my own hands...
