From the Desk of A.J. - Sezmi TV

So here we are. The Hubster and I doing our part in making this soon to be crazy, testosterone filled (ai yai yai), house a happy home for our family. Boy wonder # 1…he needs to still feel like he has a place here and isn’t being inched out in any sort of way. Boy wonder #2…needs to feel like this new “womb” is his and is comfy, cozy, warm, safe, and filled to the brim with love (uh…no problems there). Me…I need to feel that “my boys”, all three of them, are happy and I still get some sort of “me time”...whatever that means. The Hubster…needs to feel like we’re not going to be living in a van down by the river because we’re broke;)

First on our list (well…on his…my list consist of shopping and buying new things for the rooms;), seeing where we can downsize/cut out on our everyday things. We don’t live extravagantly by any means…but extravagance and luxury is in the mind of the beholder.

There are certain things I can not live without. Diet Coke, my make up, my flip flops…and my TV (who am I kidding? There are waaay more…but these are at the top of the list;). I know I’ve said it before…but I am a TV junkie. My problem is…I don’t have the time to watch everything that I want to. My DVR is always full and I end up deleting half of the things in there because I am so far behind. Half of the time I don’t even have the time to seek out the shows I want to watch and press the record button. So when we send that payment to the cable company, we cringe, and gulp (uhm…$85 bucks for basic cable…seriously). Thought about doing the HULU and those other things, but the only show that Boy Wonder watches regularly is Sesame Street…and nobody offers full episodes of “The Street”. I also wanted to watch live news…as in…my local insignificant stories and of course my “Storm Watch (insert year)”. Where can we find this…?

SEZMI. We paid a flat fee for the box …and now…$20 bucks a month for all local and some cable channels. If you do indeed watch 350 channels worth of cable…SEZMI is not for you. If you need to watch your local channels and a few cable channels (uhm like, Bravo for the housewives, TLC for whatever humungous family, Oxygen for Tori & Dean, Animal Planet, Discovery and a lot more)…this is for you.

I was not on board at first when The Hubster read it in one of his computer geeker mags (it goes through your internet)…but I am now loving it! It automatically records any shows that it thinks I may like (think of it as a Pandora…but for TV)…and it stores TONS of shows…much more than our DVR did (more terabytes, giga something says The Hubster). Also love it has more PBS channels for little man…old shows you can download (uhm…watched a BENSON the other day and almost died just listening to the song), Pay per view, on demand, You Tube, and podcasts…I KNOW! Anyway…also am loving that little man has his own set of shows…so when he gets older parental control is super easy to set up…and lots of cable channels are hoping on the bandwagon…so its only going to get better.

Just a small adjustment we’ve made so the big adjustment that is coming in a few months will be a little bit easier. Little bits here and there make a big difference. Besides…less money in a cable bill means more money for little men’s’ diapers…and more coffee for me during my “lunch break” with the housewives;)
