Life, Love, & Laundry

I recently read a post of someone who said they hadn't watched any TV in like 3 months but had read 24 books.  I was like wow that's impressive and felt a little guilty that I haven't read 24 books and I have watched my fair share of TV in the last 3 months.  Then I got thinking about it and I was like I shouldn't feel guilty for my method of leisure.  I started thinking that some people watch TV, some people read, some watch lots of sports, some play music and some play video games and on the...
