OK, so the subject is a little bit...um....questionable. I am writing from the QC Library people. What were you thinking? Steven equates books with my version of crack. I am addicted, I get irritable when I can't read for long stretches of time, and I feel a little...well...endorphin release when I read and/or finish a book. Does that make me some sort of criminal? I think not.
I just found it interesting that from now on this is where I'll be blogging from, friends of mine out there in the blogosphere. Steven and I cancelled our home Internet service in the interest of saving money since we can get on the Interweb for free at our local library. Other cost saving changes we've made recently - getting rid of a home phone line and our satellite TV subscription. While this may seem kind of crazy to many of you out there reading this blog, I assure you we are perfectly sane (well...aside from addictions like reading). We're also trying to sell our gas guzzling Nissan Armada, aptly nicknamed "The Beast." Although we are far from destitute (the Lord has blessed us beyond anything we could imagine), we are just trying to be good stewards of the resources we have to manage.
How can you simplify your life?

but you guys just got the beast :( i'll miss her... it's too bad we don't need a big SUV either hehe.
I am totally with you on the crack like nature of a good book. Stephen can attest to the fact that bb (before baby)I sometimes would stay up in to the wee hours of a night to finish up a good book. Hey I can think of much worse things we could be doing in our free time!
De-cluttering my life has been on my mind. We decided to nix the cell phones and only go with a home phone, and it's working well, however, it was a 2-year process. T.V. is vice that tightens its grip on us every day. (My kudos to you.) Turning it off would be nice. Saving $75 every month would be nice.
I think withdrawals would be worse than with crack.
But we would probably read more . . .
Drug substitution?
