Baby Land

I did it... I have finally let go of my Time Magazine subscription. Ever since I graduated from college, I have had a subscription to the top news magazine in the US. I loved finding my copy in the mail box every Saturday and sitting down to read about current events and entertainment every week. More recently, my favorite permanent features were "Pop Chart" and "Verbatim".

For the past year or so, I have watched helplessly as the pile of unread magazines on my kitchen counter climbed higher and higher toward the ceiling. I've had good intentions - I would move the more attractive magazines from the pile to the sofa table in hopes of picking one up after my daughter was in bed and leisurely flipping through the pages. But that time in the evenings has become more about getting ready for the day ahead - laundry, dishes, diaper bag, etc. - and for catching up on some of our favorite TV shows so the DVR doesn't reach that looming 100% mark. I have come to the realization that I no longer have time to read Time - pardon the pun.

I have ignored the 10+ renewal notices and have resigned myself to a life without my old pal. Perhaps someday we will meet again, but for now I'll fill my days in a much better way - listening to my daughter giggle in delight as we dance around the room to the beat of the radio.
