Today is 2 May 2012. So this means two things:
1. I am exactly 37 + 1 weeks into this pregnancy (eeeek!), and
2. I have finished #23 on my bucket list, no
The woo hoo may be a bit much, as my mum my dad my sister mr gasket many people have told me, a month without TV was too easy for me. For some reason, they seem to think that I should have done something more challenging, like going without my iPad for a month (ARE THEY CRAZY??!?!?!?)
But in my defence, I would actually have to agree (not much of a defence really) that going without TV has been very easy. Here are the reasons why:
• BROADBAND! I can get all the news, weather forecasts, gossip entertainment updates from the internet.
• I was organising an event, my baby shower, so I kept myself busy making the invites, the games, and the decorations.
• I would go shopping for dinner every day (although this is not a cost effective thing to do) so that I could leave the house for a couple of hours everyday.

However, I was really happy to discover a one big misconception about me and my TV consumption. Are you ready? Here it is:
Not watching TV does not make me more productive
Yep, I know, shocker isn't it?
I thought by not watching TV I would have more free time. But thi was not the case. I got the same amount of work done, regardless of whether the TV is on or not. Who knew?
But now it’s time for what I missed about TV. Quite simply, I missed that I missed out on watching stuff, including:
• Season 3 premier of Offspring. After the shocking revelation during the Season 2 final, I’ve been waiting months to see what happens in Season 3.
• The Voice blind auditions, especially the blind girl auditioning at the blind audition.
• Watching Toddlers and Tiara’s at my parents house (they have pay TV). I know this is not something I should have missed, but I find this show HILARIOUS, I love the obnoxious kids, and the catty parents, fun, fun, fun!
• The Voice blind auditions, especially the blind girl auditioning at the blind audition.
• Watching Toddlers and Tiara’s at my parents house (they have pay TV). I know this is not something I should have missed, but I find this show HILARIOUS, I love the obnoxious kids, and the catty parents, fun, fun, fun!
So I can officially mark off #23 on my Mrs Bucket list:
Ahhh, that feels good. Now with only 17 weeks until I’m 30, and only marking off *gulp* two items, I need to get cracking! I have a few things ready for some of the items on my list, so watch this space!
