Am I missing out???

Nice, I haven’t blogged in almost 2 months...what is wrong with me? I have so many fun and exciting things I could share with all of you, but for some reason I just haven’t done it...Well, let me explain myself - Casey and I have now been in our new home for 6 months (crazy huh?) we love it to pieces and I have met some really neat friends in our ward and even got reunited with some. However, Casey and I decided that when we moved in that we were going to try to go without cable or the internet for a couple months and see if it was really a "necessity" – six months later…here we are without either still! I defiantly miss the internet more than TV, FOR SURE! Just because I like to blog and really enjoy online shopping or just browsing…but whatever – My sweet sister in law Deanna started recording Biggest Loser and Superstars of Dance for me – but what happens when 24 comes back on? Sure, she can record that one too…but what about my “leisure” time? Hum…I’m stumped and don’t know what to do.
Well, now I’m debating…do you think I am missing out? If you had to choose one or the other, which would you choose? I cant quite convince myself that we need both, but I really do want one of them!

Shelby, if I had to choose one, I'd choose to have the internet. After all, you can usually watch full episodes of shows online now anyway. You are more disciplined than I am! How was your Christmas?

Well you guys are much better than me. I have to have my TV when my kids are in bed, that is like Collin's and I time to just sit, laugh and relax. As for the internet, I have to have that too...so I really am no help for you. Good luck in your decision and:)

Internet for sure! Have you ever been to hulu.com? You can watch all kinds of episodes of tv shows as well as movies for free. Also, have you considered rabbit ears? I know, I know, it sounds so old fashioned. We have an antenna hooked up to our HDTV and we get like 16 channels in HD for free (completely clear - not fuzzy or anything like old time antenna tvs)! They even have one in Spanish!

Thats a Hard Decision! We have 4 tvs with direct in our house, but i am on the internet all the time.
WOW Thats HARD!

I would choose the internet too. Shawn and I are ready to ditch our cable too, he just doesn't know if he can give up watching games so we are going to wait until summer when there is nothing on tv to try it.

We have not had cable for a year, and I love it! There are some times that I miss it (I love HGTV). But all in all it has been good for us, we spend a lot of time talking, and hanging out. To each there own. As for internet I don't know. It is nice to have, but sometimes I wish I didn't have it. I have even thought about getting rid of my cell.

Internet. No question. Dallas and I didn't have TV for nearly 2 years in our old house. When I ended up staying home with Will we just got the basic BASIC cable package from Comcast (that they don't advertise) that costs about $15. We have to have internet for school, so that is one of the reasons I wanted it. Plus we have family that lives far away.
So, there's my two cents. Good luck making your decision. It's nice to know you can live without those "necessities" isn't it?

Internet! If you want to watch things get netflix and watch unlimited video's and tv shows.. since my mom is moving to Spain it's the cheap way I'm able to talk to her.. so I couldn't do without internet.. =)
