It's been 10 months since my free cable mysteriously disappeared, and I'm starting to crack. Today, I pulled up the TV guide online and looked longingly at what I was missing. It was torturous, much like window shopping (whoever thought that activity was legitimate enough to earn a title of its own clearly never had to participate). I thought that being free from cable would force me to make better use of my time. I would work out, read, play with Layla, get more involved at church...become the girl I envisioned when reading the after part of a makeover story. But instead of toned arms, worn pages, a happy pup, and a cheerful heart, I’ve got cable envy, and I’ve got it bad. I think it might be late onset withdrawal. I occupy my time searching for alternative ways to watch current TV shows. On Saturday, I spent well over an hour researching the Hulu Plus vs. Netflix debate. And yesterday, I bought an antenna, which I balanced in the palm of one hand while standing in the middle of my living room and wiggling the rabbit ears around with my free hand. When the picture and sound finally aligned, I was more focused than a yogi. I wasn’t about to lose fragile reception, even if the show was terrible…and it was. What’s happening to me?! And more importantly, what’s happening on The Bachelor?!
