Wow. After having clicked through my blog list, I'm inspired by how many folks ended up answering all of the "tagged" questions. Well done, well done. Unfortunately, I'm still not there. Fortunately, you all said you would still support me- even though I'm lame. Awesome.
Hmmm. What can I share that might be of a bit of interest to you folks out there? Some kind of personal information so it's not as though all I'm doing is taking, taking, TAKING during my internet time. Look at this as though it were Christmas on Courtney's blog. One big gift. Right here.
My husband and I don't have any television channels. None. I had to kick the habit almost, wow, I think it's been about 4 years ago. I was an ADDICT. Not kidding. So we gave it up cold turkey, joined Netflix, discovered that you can get practically any tv series on Netflix, then became addicted to Netflix. The good news is that my addiction is still not near as intense as it used to be- since we live in a teensy-tiny town, the mail system is SLOW. Slllllloooowwww. Not only that, but I can't join in on the office gossip when it comes to current programming (which I used to rock at). I'm all- "did you cry or what when Denny died? I mean, she was just lying there next to his corpse!" And everyone else is all- "What?!" And then I'm all, "when DENNY DIED. You know- Grey's Anatomy???" And then they're all, "that was SO three seasons ago (or whatever)." And so, instead of spending work time chatting away, I'm actually paying attention to my classroom of students. Progress, right?
And for all you folks out there who might be concerned that I'm detached from the rest of the world- well, don't you worry. Even though I can't watch the news, Access Hollywood, so on and so forth, I can still keep up to date with the goings on in the world by checking out important websites like people.com, babyrazzi.com, celebrity-babies.com AND msnbc.com.
That's right- I'm informed.
So see... no worries.

You crack me up! Glad you're keeping "in touch."
LOL! You are awesome! Thanks for such a humorous post! The miracles of the internet ... can't believe it was Al Gore that invented it!! :-P
Hey! I found your blog again after you got tagged...
I came out lucky. My tag only made me list 7 weird facts about myself. WHEW....
We have been seriously considering giving up television for Lent and see how it goes from there. Sounds like it works for you.
Ok, you rock. Netflix changed our life too, well, that and tivo. We watch so much less tv now. We watched all of Lost on DVD through netflix last year, so we were pretty behind as well. And how FUN to wait for that red and white envelope and get to watch FOUR episodes all at once!
Oh, and don't forget these important websites too, you know, to be informed: gofugyourself.typepad.com and dlisted.com and bestweekever.tv The last one makes me laugh out loud almost daily. I'm only a little ashamed of myself for knowing about these sites.
OK, I was worried about ya for awhile!!!LOL!
Oh, just had to add,K State won the game tonight!!!! Yayyy!
Thumbs UP to Courtney too!
haha-you're fine. For some of those questions, I had to think very hard.
I love Netflix too and if it weren't for DVR, I'd never watch TV. Unfortunately-I am addicted to DVR and I don't have the willpower to give it up. :(
You're stronger than me! I definitely give you credit for that.
:)
Glad to know you're up to date on all the IMPORTANT goings ons in the world...with the exception of Lost! Funny Post;)
