I rarely watch TV these days because there are only so many hours in the day and writing has to take precedence.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day.

I use Sunday days to hang with the hubs and watch the games, something we've always done.<br /><br />I give up sleep mostly. Reading time, guitar practice time, tv.

I might have given up eating too, but it's hard to tell when you're hallucinating from lack of sleep. Like, I was convinced I ate an armadillo yesterday, but then today I thought that was odd, since there aren't any armadillos in New Jersey. Oh, and I've also given up making sense. *nods*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662203671583091505.post-75065764360315991512010-09-13T21:04:41.907-04:002010-09-13T21:04:41.907-04:00Great post!

I get my best writing done when I just resist and go sit in my dining room and write away.

I might actually accomplish something!)<br />As for what I refuse to give up? Family time. All my family is nearby, and we're close.
