Since I began to work in retail again for the past few years I've begun to live vicariously through others...namely in the avenue of television.
I never used to be one who enjoyed reality tv, or tv in general but Ive noticed that recently Ive been watching a lot of it. The mood typically decides on the show but most often Ive been actively watching the Amazing Race and Celebrity Apprentice. I typically will fast forward over the places where they fight or argue but I always feel a sense of accomplishment when they complete a task and earn money for a charity, or finish a leg and get to move on to the next round. I feel like I am traveling to all these far off places, or working for different companies to help my non profit of choice.
Its sad but true, I am now one of millions of Americans planted in front of her TV, ready and willing to soak in an extra dose of adventure and excitement without moving off the comfort of my own coach.
