One of my rituals for each new year is to choose a word to influence me for the year. My word for 2011 is EXPERIMENT. To support my EXPERIMENTAL focus, I commit to post the results of a new experiment each Sunday of this year.
I bet you can guess how I experimented this week. No TV.
Ya know what? They still got married. He still got kicked off Idol. Those horrible storms still came. And I had more time.
Duh…
What surprised me most about this week was how much time I spent explaining why I wasn’t watching TV all week. It got to be more than funny.
The biggest thing I learned was that while I’m absolutely content without TV, I like it. And I did miss it.
Will I continue my TV-fast after Sunday? No.
Will I be more mindful before turning on the TV just to fill time and space? ABSOLUTELY.
So, aside from The Wedding, Idol and The Weather Channel, what did I miss this week?

I don’t watch much tv…..but I have a few shows that I make sure to see….Desperate Housewives on Sundays ( Carlos found out that Gabi is still friends with Brie), Dancing with the Stars (Chris Jericho was voted off), and Body of Proof (Dana Delaney is much like a female Quincy).
Oh and last night, while working on the computer I watched The Princess Diaries with Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway. Mia still decided to become the princess of Genovia!
Good for you on your future of “purposeful tv watching”!!!!!
THANKS for the updates, Judi! 🙂
