Cable Schmable

Ok, so I don’t have cable. For some of you, that may be the 8th deadliest sin, but for me it works out just fine. You see, I did this somewhat on purpose in the beginning, and now I’m just used to it. Oh, don’t think I was some poor little girl that grew up without it, or some freak that came from a family that didn't allow it. No, no, no - I was just like every other country-lovin’, God-fearin’, red-blooded American - I was addicted to cable growing up. I wanted my Nickalodeon and I definitely wanted my MTV. However, when I bought my house and moved in, I made the conscious decision to not sign up for cable. I did this with the thinking that it’d get me out of the house so I wouldn’t become a hermit in my own home. It was my first time living without roommates, just me, and I wanted to ensure that I got out and met new people and did new things. I figured that not having cable would force me to a friend's house to watch something, or to a sports bar to watch my football games. And then I got used to not having it. And then I realized that I could use that $60 a month on a pair of shoes or a new shirt instead of on TV!!. And so, I've just never signed up for it. My rabbit ears serve me very well and my closest overflows with shoes. Besides, PBS has some really intesting showsZzzzzzzz
