Yes, I know, for those of you keeping track, this is technically Week Eight, and I skipped Week Seven, but I am sure you will give me a pass.
I was debating about making this the week that I started composting the kitchen waste, but then:
Last night, instead of spending the evening reading blogs and stalking my Etsy shop, I sat on the sofa with a pile of glass beads and some memory wire (working on some inexpensive things for my market stand) and watched television with Geoff. He looked at me like I had given him a gift, "You are actually going to sit here with me?"
So, Week Seven's change - no more computer after 8PM. You may notice it takes me awhile to get to your latest posts, but I will read them eventually. From now on, after 8PM I can be found on the sofa, watching whatever it is my husband is watching. Even if it is some horrid reality show. I may have a pliers in my hand, but I will be there, on the sofa, keeping him company.

this really hit me....I have been trying to not be so obsessive with the computer and etsy when I have my guy around, you know...like I shoudl just be enjoying him more...the holidays will be here faster than we thing and then none of us will have these precious summer slow months back!
You have inspired me to join your small change challenge :-) Thank you!
I know that's probably a hard one to do if you're anything like me. I'm sure he appreciates it!
I`m with you, Stephanie! Yesterday I sat on the sofa with Your bird in my hands and watched some movie (with half eye) with my husband. Because, I /we managed to pull off entire computer - free day here. All for honor of SaveTheEarth Day.
That is so important!
What Stilettoheights said really hit me. (right there in my thinker!)
I should be enjoying my own family more.
I am so amazed at how you are getting on with this Stephanie!! And this hit me like a brick too. It is too easy to just let etsy and work take over. So it will be this weeks small change for me too - you are an inspiration!
I have really been enjoying these - such a tremendous reminder that small changes can add up to huge shifts in one's life!
What a neat change to make! I know it will be rewarding for you both. :)
