Preparing To Disconnect

I'm thinking about the big day now.  We officially decided to disconnect the cable after the last regular season football game on Sunday.  I'm still a little apprehensive and nervous about the whole thing.  It's easy to say you're going to commit to something (or for my husband to say it), and then another thing to live it. 

I'm already trying to imagine what it will be like.  I'm basing this largely on our stint last year when we cut back to basic cable for several months.  I thought that was bad enough.  The channels I will miss most are HGTV, Food Network and TLC.  Then there are the endless football games I have watched over the last many years.  I have kind of grown to like football, maybe out of necessity because my husband is such a big fan.  Now I finally understand some of the play calling and the penalties.  I even know how many yards certain penalties are before the ref calls it out.  I won't miss the violent hits and all of the off-field activities that go on with the players. 

Yes I am apprehensive, but still committed.  This is happening.  I'd almost rather just stop watching TV now.  That's what I said on my way home to work, but then I found myself flipping between Kennedy Center Honors, the now famous Tuesday Night Football game, and TLC's What Not to Wear.  Somebody cut the umbilical cord, quick.  I never would have missed this when I was working and going back to school.
