The TV C-o-n-spir-a-cy!

I think summertime and regular TV are in cahoots to get kids outside.  I'm sure I mentioned our current streamlined existence without cable/satellite/dish/etc.  Let me tell you, it's torture.  No Style Channel, no HGTV, no TLC, no basketball games because our house doesn't get the local channel broadcasting it.  We have about 10 channels that come in clearly, and over half of them are Public Broadcasting Stations.  There's nothing wrong with PBS, but some days I'd like to watch something other than British sitcoms or the history of pocket lint.  I think I'm going through withdrawal; I lived the first 22 years of my life with no problems only watching regular TV.  Apparently I became bourgeois, since the handful of free channels doesn't do it for me anymore.  I suppose this is my sign to turn off the boob tube and do something productive.   Good thing I still have my wi-fi hotspot...

Lame!

When did I get lame? Here it is, Friday night, I'm temporarily kid free, and hubby and I can't come up with anything interesting to do. Of course, there's the usual "quality time" suggestion, but then what? We aren't big on clubs, our closest friends are 400 miles away, and everything we come up with (bowling, movie, sports bar) is promptly shot down. There's gotta be something more stimulating than WWE wrestling and blogging for a couple in their thirties. When did I become the type of person who'd rather laugh at stupid commercials from my couch than get out and see the world? When did I get lame? Maybe having kids does that to you...you get so used to not having a sitter, you end up sitting around when you do. Or maybe we need to stop being lame, grab the keys, and just go. So I'll take my own advice, and with that...I'm gone!
