Blog more, TV less

I have always looked forward to Lent. I love the idea of start anew and the opportunity to make something better. I try to tackle something worthy every year–not give something up or deny myself, but add to what I already have. One year I gave up Law and Order, and the following year it was TV all together. Last year... well, I can't really remember. However, this year it is back to TV. However, there is a slightly different reason than the years prior. I am not getting stuff done anymore! Heavens to Betsy have I been lazy. I get home from work and literally sink into the sofa and before I know it's 10:30, Grey's is over and I've lost another night of precious time. This has go to stop. However, I do love to blog and even though I am not very funny or insightful, it does inspire thought and provoke me to step out of my routine.

Also, I get so much more satisfaction out of blogging than TV has ever come close to.

I know that it seems like I am substituting blogging for TV, and that might very well be. However, the activity of writing, allows me to gather, assemble and act on my ideas and thoughts. One of my stumbling blocks is my faith. Growing up Catholic, I've always felt the need to feel guilty for my lack of religious-ness, however at this point in my life I'm just kind of pissed at myself for not being the person I should be. So, to my adoring readers, please know that there will probably be some Jesus-talk in the posts to come.

Yippee for productivity! Wow! I have had waaayyyy too much coffee this morning!
