Tech-Free Night

Ken and I decided that at least once a week we would have a "tech-free" night... meaning no TV, no computer, and most importantly-- I can only check my blackberry once before bed. My job is very demanding. Right now I work 50+ hours in the office, and probably another 12+ hours at home. I love what I do. Right now I'm organizing a regional mall tour and Broadway show. It's just so stressful and time consuming. (FYI... I work in the children's music/developmental programs industry.) I tell Ken that I don't want to be a 'corporate tool.' That's what I feel like sometimes. I can't wait to make my keep and spend my time being a mommy.
Anyways, tech-free night has turned out to be so nice! There are so many nice things we can do with our time. For instance last week we had a bottle of wine and played board games. Last night we had a nice dinner and just talked.
I'm so glad that it's Friday. Last night we went to bed at 9:30pm. It was amazing! This morning I was actually ready to get out of bed when the alarm went off. My goal is to get more sleep during the week, because often times I am so tired that when the weekend comes it's lights out for me around 11pm and I practically don't get out of bed until 11am the next morning (which, to be honest, is kind of a waste of day!!) I think I'm prepared for this weekend though. We're going furniture shopping for our new place, possibly going to the movies, and I want to spend some time taking photos of our apartment/neighborhood. Yesterday when I was walking home from the train station I started to get all sentimental about moving out of the Village. It really has become our home. I do feel though that we've outgrown it. And it's not like we're leaving NYC, just the Village. I'll be visiting often. I'm sure it's just the sentimental feeling of leaving any home. And famous neighbors. That will be a change of pace.
