So, we hold off this long on setting up the TV (and yes, winter was FIVE MONTHS LONG). And what do we do today? Go to the library and check out eight movies. Most of them are "educational" though--including one about the skeleton, for the bone-obsessed in the family (that's the skeleton in our closet--OH!). We then actually ate dinner in front of "Toy Story." So our slide down the slippery slope of spoonfed entertainment is complete, in only 24 hours! Soon I'll be spending all my days in front of the tube with the shades drawn, sipping milkshakes while the toddler eats Cheez-puffs and our metabolisms slow to three-toed sloth speed. (I was once attacked by a three-toed sloth named Roscoe--maybe he was two-toed, I can't remember.)

OK, it's off to watch a National Geographic Coyote special! Ooh, the suspense!
