Nancy: when we lived in England the tv shows had only commercial break for about 4 - 5 minutes in the middle of the half hour and about 5 - 7 minutes at the half hour (end of one show, newsbreak, commercial, opening of next show.) Between the longer stretches of time and the fact that our apartment was smaller than my house, I was amazed at how much I could do during commercials. (One time, I prepped the floor in the middle of show and hand scrubbed it between shows.)
Now with the pvr built into my media center computer in the kitchen, I work in the kitchen during a show and then run to other parts of the house (i.e. loading or unloading the washer) during commercials. If I miss the return from commercials, I can just run the show back so I don't worry if I get distracted in the other room.
Not that I'm doing any work tonight. I went to start the laundry and then decided to wait until tomorrow since the underwear I'm wearing now can go into that load too.
So I've done nothing since my last post except open a Christmas card and read that newsletter.
