-Joel's been wanting to cut cable for years. Years. I think he could go without it forever.
-I really miss HGTV and Food Network (and who am I kidding, Bravo and Lifetime just for Dance Moms). The only other thing I miss is the ability to watch things on demand. We've never had a dvr so I am used to watching everything live anyways.
-Now I just watch stuff on the computer which is definitely not the same as on the tv.
-I'm pretty ready for fall shows to come on.
-UNC Explorer is actually a pretty good channel. So is ION.
-You would think I would be getting all sorts of stuff done without cable. I am getting more done than I was, but the list is still never ending.
-With my new found time during nap time I've started reading again. Its pretty awesome. Lately I've read a few Randy Alcorn books and the Duggar books (thats right, those Duggars). The Duggar books I really loved and they told almost every step they took to being completely debt free. Incredible. and Inspiring. Any suggestions for books?
-Lainie and I were sick this past week/weekend (always on a holiday weekend, isn't it). Joel swooped in as superDad and took over. I slept and slept while he took over Mr. Mom. I don't know what I'd do without him.
-The mosquitos seem to not be as horrible lately. We've been able to go outside without getting constantly swarmed. Its been great. I love fall.
-Speaking of fall, is it too early for me to make party mix?
-I found 6 long, wirey gray hairs last weekend. I haven't colored my hair in about 4 years and it makes me sick to think I'm going to have to start coloring it so I'm not 30 and totally gray. ugh. Let me clarify, should I find 6 more long, wirey gray hairs, I will be coloring my hair (or maybe Joel will).
-Joel cuts my hair now. I've been getting it cut locally and every time i come home, he ends up fixing it (to the tune of cutting inches to repair the rattail damage), so instead of shelling out the $30 and have him fix it, he just cuts it now. He's actually pretty good at it, layers and all. I've had more people ask me where I get my hair cut now than in years, and we both crack up at their faces when I tell them its at Salon JoJo.
-One of my favorite things Ruthie says now is I be eat Mama? She says it all the time. She be eat'n. all the time.
-NayNay loves to do the Indian (totally not PC, no clue what else to call it). She thinks its hilarious and would do it continuously for hours I think. Ruthie never had any interest in that.
-Ruthie loves to hug (which strangely looks like a choke hold) NayNay. Its really sweet, and slightly scary.

we just cut cable too! not sure if you have an ipad, but if you ever get one for christmas or whatever, the $8 subscriptions to netflix and hulu plus are way better than cable. we are loving it! saved us like $60 a month or something like that. (and we have a cord that hooks the ipad up to the tv, so we can watch right on the ipad or right on the tv, awesome).
Ruthie's hugs makes me think she'd be a good chiropractor!
I'm thinking about getting rid of our big satellite package and going down to the basics but I am dreading the withdrawl from Dance moms too! I really need to do it...I think maybe you have inspired me!:) And omg, if my husband tried to cut my hair I can not even fathom the horror. But i think its awesome your husband is talented like that. Your hair always looks gorgeous!:)
