Day Four

Characterize your day (what did you do?I had a weird day today. I guess I ate some food that did not mix well inside and I felt sick today.

 how does it compare to a “typical day”? I was out of comission today and just laid around.My husband bought food so that I would not have to cook for the kids.
did anything out of the ordinary happen? The only thing that was out of the ordinary was feeling sick.
how did you feel when you sat down to watch TV?).I was just in the mood to lay around.




o Hours spent consuming: TV, internet, radio, magazines, books, movie (at theatre), etc. I watched a little more than normal due to the circumstances. About five hours.



o Shows you watched throughout the day.I eneded up doing a LMN lifetime movie marathon. I did swithc over to MTV for a little.



o Why you watched each show (what do you like about each show?).I just was in the mood to relax so LMN was perfect.



o Whether you watched each show live or recorded each show. I watched the show live.



o Who you watched each show with.My hubby joined me for a while but only at times.



o How you came about watching each show (i.e. you planned to watch it and regularly watch it, your significant other made you watch it, you stumbled upon it on the TV guide, you went to a particular network and stumbled upon it, etc.).  I was not planning on a show-a-thon but when you feel sick sometimes you just have to rest.

Day Three

o Characterize your day~ I started off my breakfast with a cup of coffee and then I turned the tv on to see the weather and any news update. I watched channel 13 news because it shows continous news.
 how does it compare to a “typical day”? -Summer vacation is still here so I have to find ways to keep the kids busy.
Did anything out of the ordinary happen?- Not really out of the ordinary for summer. Once school starts and the kids are in school things change a bit.
how did you feel when you sat down to watch TV?).-I watched a little news and headed to the community pool for a few hours.




o Hours spent consuming: TV, internet, radio, magazines, books, movie (at theatre), etc.- I always check facebook and check my e-mails. I probabaly spent about one hour because I have the ability to check both off my phone throughout the day.



o Shows you watched throughout the day- It was hot out side and the boys decided to play video games after a while and I laid down to watch some of the food network. I fell asleep watching it.
In the evening I watched Cake Boss. I love seeing the orders that people place for the cake boss. I dozed off at night watching that show and a little of New Jersey Housewives.



o Why you watched each show (what do you like about each show?). I watched the food network because I wasn't in the mood to get into a show. I just wanted to rest.



o Whether you watched each show live or recorded each show- I watched the show live.



o Who you watched each show with- I watched the news and night shows on my own.



o How you came about watching each show (i.e. you planned to watch it and regularly watch it, your significant other made you watch it, you stumbled upon it on the TV guide, you went to a particular network and stumbled upon it, etc.).- Today I just watched what I knew would not involve to much attention. I could drift to sleep watching the ffod network and I knew the cake boss would be okay to miss a part of the show. If I am tired then I know that I wont be able to fall asleep if I put my show on an interesting channel. Today was one of those days in which I just needed some rest. My one year old just drove my crazy!!! Phew!!

Day 2

 My day always starts off with getting ready for church. After church we have lunch at our regular sub place and head home for relaxtion. The kids always join me for some family time.
how does it compare to a “typical day”? It is a little more relaxing at home and more time is spent with the kids in the day.
did anything out of the ordinary happen? It was a rain day and when that happens you just want to curl up with a blanket and relax.
 how did you feel when you sat down to watch TV? I love getting to relax and enjoy with my boys.




o Hours spent consuming: TV, internet, radio, magazines, books, movie (at theatre), etc. I checked my facebook and e-mail in the afternoon. I think may be a total of 3 hours.



o Shows you watched throughout the day.-In the day the kids and I watched Disney channel- Hannah Montana,  I Carly, and Zack and Cody. In between those shows I watched the Bravo station to see some adult TV.



o Why you watched each show- All the Disney channel show are entertaining even for adults. I like to spend time with my kids as well. Bravo has some crazy shows like New Jersey Housewives and there is some drama going on with the girls that has been a little crazy. I guess I just want to see what happens with the feuding housewives.



o Whether you watched each show live or recorded each show-I watched the shows live.



o Who you watched each show with- All four boys watched the show with me on the disney channel and I was alone for a while and turned to the bravo channel.



o How you came about watching each show - We usually put family friendly shows on when we are together and then when I have some down time I like to check out Bravo on Sundays.

Day 1

o Characterize your day (what did you do? Saturdays are relaxing and I love that I can watch a good movie inthe morning.
how does it compare to a “typical day”? Weekdays are busy with work so Sat and SUn are my days to relax and get housework done.
did anything out of the ordinary happen?
Nothing out of the ordinary happened. I had to clean and fold clothes and while I folded clothes I put on Lifetime Movie Network.
 How did you feel when you sat down to watch TV?) I never actually sat down because I worked and watched. What I love about the Lifetime channel is that if I miss parts of the movie then I know that they will show the movie again aat a later date.




o Hours spent consuming: TV, internet, radio, magazines, books, movie (at theatre), etc. I spent about five hours on media today. I read my e-mails on the internet and checked facebook for about thirty minutes.I went to the movie theatre amd watched The Other Guys.



o Shows you watched throughout the day.Today I started my day by watching Lifetime Movie network while cleaning house and doing laundry. Then I swithed over to the food network.



o Why you watched each show (what do you like about each show?).The food network gives me great ideas on meals that I can try for my family of six. I am a visual person so I tend to learn by watching the show and seeing the ingredients. Reading from a cookbook can be boring so I enjoy seeing the cooking live.
I watched Lifetime Movie Network while I cleaned and folded clothes.



o Whether you watched each show live or recorded each show. I watched each show live while it was being played.



o Who you watched each show with.-I was watching the show alone.



o How you came about watching each show (i.e. you planned to watch it and regularly watch it, your significant other made you watch it, you stumbled upon it on the TV guide, you went to a particular network and stumbled upon it, etc.).
