"Entertainment"
One of the first things people have noticed in our home is we don't have a TV. It was a mutual decision early on that will probably stick around for a long time. Granted, I like technology. I was recently given an Amazon Echo, and it's been really fun to use! And practically, my sleep has improved with the sounds on it. John loves his fancy-schmancy computer with the bells and whistles that he made as a late teen, but it's tucked away in our middle room. We both love our phones for YouTube and such, his work laptop for DVDs as well as the mini portable DVD player. So yeah, we have technology. We aren't against it. We use it to keep track of things, but I still rely on a pen and paper calendar for most things. We have an good size card and board game collection, that I swear feels smaller every day so we slowly add to it over time. I have a basket of yarn for projects to be started, and bags of books around. Most of the time, our technology is dormant. I forget the computers even exist until late in the evening when I remember to blog. My phone is usually on me, but I leave it on vibrate or off as I don't like to be always reached. John is the same way so there are a few people who have taken to calling me to reach him or pass on messages as I'll be slightly more likely to answer, haha! All in all, entertainment is nice, but it's even nicer to just curl up on the couch together, or play a game, or just exist!
