Good tip for reducing tv-time snacking

Here's a good tip for reducing snacking at night when you're vegging in front of the tv...paint your fingernails. You wouldn't want to risk a smudge by reaching your hand into the fridge or the cookie jar. Besides, this is probably the only down time you have all day to yourself, sans children, when you could possibly pamper yourself a bit. If that won't work for you (maybe you don't like doing your nails), take up another activity that keeps your hands busy like knitting or scrapbooking. There's nothing sweeter than a baby wearing a hand knit hat; and I'd be willing to bet you have a million beautiful family photos either sitting on your computer or in boxes that could use a good showcase.
