As if it's not hard enough already to lose weight

Ok, this is our little tv setup. We don't have cable right now, so for awhile we were watching shows on our laptop. We found out that we could buy a little dealy that hooks into your tv and computer so now we can watch online shows on the tv. (Yes, that is The Office on the screen!) A couple weeks ago I would have to get up after every episode and switch it to another one, it was kind of a pain at night when we were trying to relax. Ok, I realize we are sounding super lazy, but come on, who wants to get up every 21 minutes to click the mouse two times? Anyway, Tom came up with this great idea to buy a wireless mouse and keyboard to avoid this little problem of getting up all the time.
So, here is the setup. Tv hanging on the wall. Computer on the right with a wire hooked to the tv to pass along the picture (I don't know the technical explanation of what's really going on with that wire!)
Now this is what makes me SUPER LAZY!
I can sit on the couch and....
watch shows on netflix
read and respond to emails
update my blog (yes, my lazy A is sitting on the couch right now)
play with itunes
play free cell, spider solitaire, or mahjong
check facebook
etc.
The worst part is that I'm now burning less calories during the day because I don't have to get up! Champ still has me running around the house cleaning up after him and chasing down the things he steals in that mouth of his!! So, I admit it, I totally feel like the trashy unemployed lady who eats sugar and carbs and sits on her butt all day long! To my defense, I did go job hunting all morning with no luck!

Hooray for finding a job Sweetie! Ya did good. You'll be fine, really! Davey just found out last night at the end of his work day that he was laid off as of the next day. Seems it's affecting many!
