Our New Life
I am sure that most of you have read Scott’s blog and know that we have officially done away with internet and cable in our home. I am here to report on how our experiment is going. It is AMAZING! I now have a more attentive, focused, and less distracted husband. I love our evenings at home now. I was afraid that we would be bored out of our minds by this time, but we have realized that there are other things to do besides watching TV and fooling around on the internet all night…imagine that! We now spend more time reading, walking, talking, snuggling….and other stuff. We make frequent trips to the library where they have a plethora of magazines, DVD’s, and books to check out for free. We have started using our condo ammenities more, such as the hot tub and workout room. I just discovered that the club house/pool area has public wifi. When we do want to get on the computer, free wifi is only a 2 minute walk away. I have found that I am also less distracted and now spend more time with the Lord.
I honestly cannot think of a negative to our new lifestyle. The only inconvenience I have run into is trying to print out numerous shipping labels for the items I sold on ebay. You cannot pull them up all at once in different windows. You have to print the first one before you are able to pull up the second one. I found myself having to ride my bike to the clubhouse, pull up the first one, go back to the house and print it out, ride back up to the clubhouse, pull up the second one, ride back to the house and print. It really was not that bad and I got exercise.
p.s. One of the best things is that we save $65.00 a month.
This is us at our new office by the pool. Tough life…I know.
