That's it! Your grounded! No T.V. for a week, young lady!

So, I'm grounding myself. It's something I do.

This time I've found I spend FAR TOO MUCH time watching TV each week.

I mean WAY TOO MUCH!

So my goal is to not watch TV for 1 week.
7 days.
168 hours.

As of 12:00 am this morning, NO TV for a week! It's going to be rough, but I have such a to-do list that I am coming up with that I will have plenty to do.

For some ideas on what to do other than watch TV, here are a couple links to a few resources I found online....

http://www.turnoffyourtv.com/turnoffweek/TV.turnoff.week.html (I was amazed at some of the statistics here....)

Not only am I cutting out TV, I am replacing that time with things I need to get done. I want to see at the end of my week how much I am able to get done. So come next Monday, I will post my results!

Now come on everyone, jump on the bandwagon! If you want to participate with me, comment on my Facebook status from earlier today to let me know!

Cool idea. And you're right; some of those statistics are mind-blowing.

New Printer?!?!?!?!?

Can it be true? I'm getting a new printer at work?!?!?! I realize this might not be as exciting for you as it is for me. but what you must understand is that I have the oldest computer at work... by like 3 years or more (and in computer age, 3 years is a long time!) I've only been without a printer for like 3 days at work, but even when I did have a color printer, it didn't print on cardstock which ment I couldn't print the business cards, or the time cards. Now I can print color things at my desk that I would either have to have someone else print, or I would have to print them on the other side of the building, meaning I would have to go to the other side of the building, load the correct paper product in the printer, go back to my desk to hit the print button, back to the printer to collect the printed items, then back to my desk to do whatever I had planned on doing with it. (that is if I remember what I was going to do with it)

I am His. As I pulled into camp today, I was listening to some LDS Hymns. When I pulled my car by the lodge, these words were sung: Fear Not, I am with thee oh be not dismayed for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand up heals by my righteous omnipotent hand.

Rough Day

I can't say it's entirely been rough... just the last 20 minutes. The rest of my weekend was great! (that's for a happier blog post later.) As I was on my way home from a birthday party, I realized tomorrow is Monday. I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I don't want to. Going along with that is I'm sick of my job and I'm sick of complaining about my job. I'm grateful for the ability I have to work and provide for myself. I really am. But this last year, it's been really rough. Between a new boss and new rules and procedures I just dont want to be there anymore. I really dont! I'm sick of disliking Sunday nights so much because I know what the next day will bring. Frustration, anxiety, loathing, genereal dislike, feeling underappreciated. I dont know how much more of this job I can take! I was so worked up about this on the way home that I was crying. Then when I walked in the door of my house, I was to the point of being angry. I practicly threw...
