A little info on my Starbucks cup

Yesterday morning, I decided to treat myself with a Starbucks. I was sort of shocked when I read "The Way I See It #51" on my cup which stated:

"Americans spend an average of 29 hours a week watching television - which means in a typical life span we devote 13 uninterrupted YEARS to our TV sets! The biggest problem with mass media isn't low quality - it's high quantity. Cutting down just an hour a day would provide extra years of life - for music and family, exercise and reading, conversation and coffee."

That's over FOUR hours PER DAY!! Do people actually watch TV that much-on average?
And if they actually do, how ON EARTH do they find the time??

After work, errands, dinner, kid homework, kid activities, kid night time rituals, and housework, how the hhhheeeeeeeeeckkkkk would anyone have time to watch more than an hour of TV per day? Maybe they stay up all night? I don't know, I just don't get it.

Now, I wouldn't call myself a TV hater, I do enjoy TV and good TV shows, but I can't imagine spending THIRTEEN years of my life watching TV programs. In fact, I am so far behind with my favorite show Grey's Anatomy that I am at risk of not catching up at all! And I got so LOST by not being able to watch Lost on a consistent basis that I had to throw in the towel (I do hope to rent the show season by season and have an all weekend Lost marathon in the future, however.) :)

I do realize that I am a bit of an exception because I am a single mom and there is a whole heck of a lot of work to do all the time, so I guess I can see how a single person with no kids could spend all their free time watching TV (how not fun), but this 4 hours a day thing is ON AVERAGE, and most households I know of have children in them which means TOO BUSY for TV. Or maybe it's just the kiddos who watch TV all the time so our average is way up. Or maybe I'm just not an effective manager of my time.

In any case, I think we are wasting our lives away people. Just turn it off! ...Unless it's something interesting like Jon and Kate Plus 8 or Ghost Adventures! hehe - Just kidding!

Nothin'

Oh my loyal 2 to 3 followers - how disappointed you must be in me! (ha)

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted a blog! And yet, I have nothing! How boring I must be! I feel like driving somewhere cool so that I can take lots of pictures and post them here (hehe that was for you and Ry, Brookie)!

Current Events:

- Love a house - Want it - reining my hopes in....or trying to.

- I believe my car was tampered with - or at least fixed wrong - which led to a $2,600 bill that I had to pay and now I have to sue their stinky butts. Sucks. A lot. Like a TON.

- Still reading Twilight. It's taking me forever. I guess I'm just not as interested in it as some people. hmm.

- Trying really hard not to go in the kitchen and make cookies, and then eat them all, right now.

I guess that is about it. WOW, I AM boring!!
