Currently Watching: Just about everything...

It is the dead of winter and I have been watching an astounding amount of television. I actually have a show (or two) for every night of the week. [I am only admitting this in case it helps any of you come clean with your own TV watching "problem".]

Monday - The Bachelor and Jon & Kate Plus Eight.
Tuesday - American Idol and Scrubs.
Wednesday - American Idol and Lost.
Thursday - The Office and Grey's Anatomy.
Friday - Friday Night Lights.

The Bachelor and Grey's Anatomy are guilty pleasures. Lost is blowing my mind right now. This show is unlike anything that has ever been on television before. [To the other Losties out there check out this and this.] Jon & Kate Plus Eight is like watching a bus crash. It's actually getting pretty painful because Kate seems to be getting meaner and greedier and the product placement spots are getting a little obnoxious. Scrubs and The Office are always good for a few laughs. Friday Night Lights I just love and it's become our date night for Matt and me. We don't get out a terribly lot. American Idol is heating up. That's another one Matt and I watch together. I think I wouldn't be so into it though if it weren't for DVR. I just don't have enough time to watch all three hours every week (very busy with my other TV watching), but it helps that I can zip through the truly bad people and all the recapping they do. Really like that Danny guy.

Anyone else out there with extreme TV watching habits? I promise to pick myself up off the sofa this spring when there is actually something to do outside of my living room.

fun with craigslist

We just sold our fourth item on craigslist last night (we also sold a mirror and our old fridge and stove a few weeks ago). This really nice young couple came last night to look at our old TV (Matt just upgraded to a plasma) and they decided they wanted it. The problem is that this TV weighs about 300 lbs. - that might a be slight exageration but not by much - and Matt wasn't home so it was up to me and this nice couple to get it into the back of their Envoy.

So we've got an insanely heavy TV, two small children underfoot, only one grown man, and about 20 feet to move this TV. We got it out of the dining room and around the corner and then realized the back of their car wasn't open yet. She went to open it and out LEAPED two huge dogs. Like leaped the way you see dogs leap in movies. They came flying over the back seat and into our house which, incidentally, is very good for running around in circles because all of the rooms connect, so run in circles they did.

So now we have an insanely heavy TV partially resting on a bench and partially resting on the grown man, two huge dogs running in circles around my house followed by the girl chasing them, plus now my children are crying because they're somewhat frightened by large dogs, especially the kind that leap into your house with no warning.

Eventually, we got the dogs in the car, the TV in the car, and only did minor damage to our walls, which Matt fixed up after work with a little spackle and touch up paint. We were all laughing hysterically pretty much the entire time too because it was all just that ridiculous and funny. They really were a nice couple though, and I feel like we could be friends if we met under different circumstances...maybe I'll email them back and see how the new TV's working out for them and invite them (minus the dogs) over for dinner :).

The End.
