One Month Later

It's been a little over a month since LoLo packed up the cable boxes and returned them to Time Warner Cable and we haven't looked back.

Peace out, cable!

I'm not the type of girl who will preach that cable is the devil or that television is making us all dumber. We got rid of cable not for philosophical reasons, but for financial reasons. I just couldn't justify spending over $100 a month for television.

Since cancelling our cable, I've started watching a novela (soap opera) from Mexico on Hulu+. And don't tell LoLo I told you this, but he has actually gotten into it too. One night, we were lying in bed and I was watching on my iPad. I didn't want to bother LoLo so I put on my headphones. But then he said "Hey! Turn up the volume! Don't you think I want to know what happens?"

LoLo and I almost never agree on what to watch. It has been so much fun to finally get to watch something together and both enjoy it (even though one of us would never admit it!). It's also been really nice to hear Spanish. Since moving to Maine, as you can imagine, we don't hear much Spanish anymore.

Whoever would have thought that a novela would bring me and my husband closer? 

 

And now that I've made it a whole month, I've decided to write a letter along with the pink slip I'm giving cable. 

 

Dear Cable,

You're fired. I'm done with you. I don't have time for your foolishness. I'm too busy watching a very attractive Mexican man dress like a woman to try to win back the love of his life with my husband. Good riddance. Don't try to win me back. LoLo and I are on to you and your honey boo boos and Kardashians and monsters that live inside people. 

Lots of No love to you,

Erin (and LoLo) 

Also: I have no idea why the font is smaller below the picture. I have changed it a million times and it looks like it's the same size where I'm writing in blogger...oh well.
