Thanks for the post, Bernard Vasquez

When we decided to get satellite tv it ignited a firestorm – we’d never had TV and with finances so tight my husband said he wasn’t sure if we should go crazy and buy one right now. The good news is that I found us some great deals and we got a plasma handed down to us from my brother so it was kind of a no brainer at that point. I love being able to keep the Cooking Channel on in the background during the day (I work from home) and I know my hubby’s loving all the football he gets to watch now.I don’t know why we resisted having a TV for so long because it’s totally worth it at the end of a long day but you know, I think it’s probably good we didn’t get too technologically dependent at young ages. We’ve talked about it and when we have kids we want them to watch minimal TV so they get outside and play as much as possible.

Even though right now I am enjoying blogging for dollars, this Thanksgiving season has been full of family and work pressures that often make blogging nearly impossible. My elevated blood sugar levels have caused me much concern and in reaction to them I have radically changed my diet. Over the holidays, I’ve been slipping up on carbs and even sugars and feeling the result of being too tired to write. I wrote about the “fire” on my personal blog this morning but it’s often easier to write advice than it is to take it. Being married, we get to see two families. This is cool for many reasons and not so cool for others. Like everything in life, there are pros and cons. So far though, it has been a very nice Thanksgiving. I am a very lucky man indeed. Now if I can stay disciplined at the blogging, I’ll have the “sugar free” frosting on the cake.
