So when it comes to budget I have priorities like food on the table and getting my older daughter a new pink dress once in a while that takes priority over things like a home phone and cable TV. I haven’t always been so practical. Lol In college I would eat TopRamen or eat at friend’s houses, thank you Alexandra, so that I would have enough money to get my nails done. Priorities? We all have ours. My nails were always lookin good, I got a lot of compliments on them back then. Deep breath, "Awe the good old days", I haven’t had nails since I entered the “real world” post graduation.
Like I said I have other priorites over cable. I think I am one of the ten people in ALL of Orange County that do NOT have cable TV. We have Antenna TV, oh yes it still exist. I actually find a lot of humor in it. We get channel 5, and 7 on good days. NO channels on winding days. It's pretty funny to hear my 3 year old tell me we need a new TV because it's broken (those are the windy days.) Anyone who wants to work on patience, Antenna TV is the answer. Or those of us who miss Father Knows Best, The Monkey's, Three's Company or old Shirley Temple movies.
So not only do we NOT have cable we do not have one of those new flat screens with the built in digital analog converter. I still feel like I'm doing pretty good though; I don't have to turn a knob with pliers to change the channel (from 5 to 7) and I have been able to avoid the dreaded foil attachment for reception; though I have to share my little secret that has kept the dreaded foil creatures away.

Closer look......
Yes it is one of my daughter's princess crowns, though it helps with the reception. Or at least that is the story I'm sticking to. Better than the alternative..... right?
The thought was that without cable it will get us to do more activities like taking walks, coloring, play dough, bubbles, dance parties, etc. And it has. It has also caused multiple repeat viewings of children's videos. Sanity? I actually get more worried when I catch myself sitting down watching the movies with them, and enjoying it. This was also another good reason to start a blog. So back to the question To have Cable or NOT to have Cable? ANSWER:NO CABLE (for now). Internet on the other hand OF COURSE, that is not even a question!!!
