Inspiration

So far this no TV business has turned out to be a non-event.  We really don't miss it at all.  There have only been a few split seconds where I found myself sitting down on the couch and thinking, where's the remote?  The only downside is, that we have been quite busy and I haven't had as much time to sit and just relax the past few weeks.  The good thing is that we have been catching up on the more important things, like our daughter using the potty for the first time (big excitement in the house last night).

No TV has definitely been inspiring us in several ways.  Last Sunday we started thinking about some projects we needed to catch up on in the house and we had been talking about finishing our master bath remodel.  A few years ago we had the tile done and put new faucets in, but we never painted walls or upgraded cabinets.  So Sunday we felt inspired and found some paint colors we liked in a magazine.  The next thing you know, we were at Lowe's and we had a paint picked out to paint our bathroom cabinets.  We were very excited to finally be resuming efforts on sprucing up the place again - something that has definitely taken a back seat to the baby and the economy.  For $60 we found some paint, some cabinet fixtures and we have been sanding and painting all week. 

It now feels like we are actively participating in life instead of just watch TV and imaging projects being done.  It's really amazing how quickly that has changed.  By the way, who cares were the darn remote is! We are enjoying some inspiration and a little spontaneity once again!
