My cable gets cut off today. i must confess that last night while watching a DVR-ed episode of Jon and Kate Plus Eight, i got un peu sad. Okay, a lot sad. It's going to be weird when i turn on the telly and get a black screen.
Also? Today is Day #1 of the Shopping Challenge. So far i have...
1. successfully avoided the Marc by Marc Jacobs sale on Gilt Group
2. ignored an email from Anthropologie kindly informing me that they are having a SURPRISE SALE ON CURRENT SPRING MERCHANDISE (almost had me pushing back the start date but then i realized, that was way cheating)
3. avoided internet shopping at Ruche - a new to me Anthro-meets-F21 online store that i found via Budget Babe

I love your challenge idea...a good thing that I have done to NOT get tempted online is unsubscribe from all shopping emails. That way I do not find out about the sales :)
Agreed on the avoiding the emails - I have my gmail set up to deliver them into a specific folder - somehow I manage to forget to check the folder.
So the blog is up and somewhat running, it doesn't look nearly as pretty as yours and I hate putting things up before they are "done" - but I need to start because I've been telling myself for years and years that I need to start a blog...so it's about time!
I'm still figuring the whole thing out, it'll get there :)
great job on the shopping/tv challenge! with more time & money you'll find fun & creative ways to fill the void. On to new adventures!
hi, thanks for stopping by my blog! i live in cibolo (just northeast of san antonio) and i work in new braunfels (which i LOVE). i'm hoping to move to nb someday soon.
by the way, i totally respect the no cable commitment and i just have to say that i went 1 year without cable (mainly because i was just that lazy to set it up) and it really made a difference in how i spent my precious non-work hours. so, you might find that you won't miss the cable as much as you thought.
good for you!! you'll be amazed at how quick these things will save you some cash!!
I too get those emails from gilt group and anthropologie everyday...very tempting. You have better self control than I!
Thanks for the sweet comment about my hair...made my day!
