One (or 11) TOO many

I busy myself when things aren't going according to plan. When thinks are stressing me out, when life is not happening the way i want them i don't head for my Bible, i don't talk it up with God either. we all resort to something that gets our mind off of whatever the problem is. I have busied myself with TV Shows this season. Because i am not surrounded by many people this fall, i have upgraded from sticking my nose in books for hours on end to watching hours of shows.

TV SHOWS i watched for the past 2 months...
New Girl -20 min (watch alone)
Castle -45min (watch with people)
Modern Family -20min (watch with people)
The middle -20min (watch alone)
Person of interest -45 min (watch alone)
Terra Nova -45min (watch alone)
Bones -45min (watch with people)
Hart of Dixie -45min (watch alone)
Unforgettable -45min (watch alone)
Body of Proof -45min (watch alone)

A gifted man -45min (watch alone)
Once upon a time -45min (watch alone)
Pan am -45min (watch alone)
NCIS LA -45min (watch with people)

On a weekly basis i watched 575mins a week. 10 hours of shows every week. HOLY MOLY!

I have no problem with the shows i watch, but i do have a huge issue with the amount of time i spend on my laptop just watching shows. Here i am complain that i have no time but here is 10 easy hours to be with my family, spend some good time in the Bible, hang out with friends, sleep. I sprained my foot this week and my life has been put on pause, im sure because there is no way i would have stopped and just breathed for a second. Finally after 5 days in bed- im starting to get the picture haha. I'm rethinking how my perspective even is about my time here in Fresno. Im rethinking boundaries with friendships. Im rethinking the root of my "issues". Im rethinking how i spend my time. It took a sprain to make me pause...gosh i just love learning the hard way....


SOOOOOOOO.....Here is me trying to grow and change in this area of life.

Watching Tv shows is like a very happy hobby of mine and it's fun to do with friends but if you look above look how many shows i actually watch with people vs. on my laptop in my room. I am only going to watch 4 shows now. FOUR. not 15. why four? no idea- felt it was a good number for myself. and ill change it if i need to.

The shows i will now watch:

The only show i will watch by myself- to relax and enjoy.


After the high school seniors are done with Bible study at our house every wednesday- anyone can stay to watch it. This show is like my "Friends" show. I can watch it over and over again.


This is like MY SHOW...this is the last season :( BUT, i watch this with Melody. Good times good times.


Sean comes over every monday night and me, Juju and him watch it- TRADITION :) a highlight of my week.
