October...Things That Do Not Suck Month!

(My friend Jackie inspired me to start a blog. I don't know that I have much to say, but it's better to say it in a blog and share it with the world than to continue talking to myself, dontcha think?)

A fellow blogger declared October "Things that Do Not Suck" Month. Hmmm...such a simple thought about simple things, but our lives would be a little less cheery without them. Here's my first...

(**Disclaimer - if you are someone who doesn't like TV or is disturbed by someone who watches a LOT of TV, you should stop reading this, and probably all future blogs by me. I LOVE TV...there, I said it)
I never knew I wanted, much less needed, a DVR, but thanks to my former roommate Nikki who insisted we add it to our cable package when she moved in, my life (and TV watching habits) has been forever changed! Now I don't have to feign sickness to skip dinner/work meetings/surgery in favor of watching ER/Grey's Anatomy/America's Next Top Model/Lipstick Jungle/Heroes/etc, I have them at my disposal AND gloriously commercial free! Like magic, it knows to record only the new episodes, and even pauses thru the summer and begins again when the new fall season starts. An extra added treat is when you save up a bunch of episodes and can have a Sunday marathon or even watch them thru the summer when nothing else good is on. Thank you DVR inventor!! You have created something that definitely does NOT suck!

Throughout the month (and probably after) I will post more things that I think do not suck. Feel free to add your own to this list!!

haha...I'm sorry I made you a DVR junkie. It wasn't my intention...but I certainly wasn't going to be without it!! You can totally blame Natalie...she's the one who got me hooked. We have two of them and they are always full! The one in the living room started to cannibalize itself while we were in MB for the wedding- we came home just in time...I only had to watch a couple of shows online. It was a VERY close call!! ;) Miss you!

Ok, so like now I can offically blame you for turning me into a DVR junkie. I swear it's the best thing since sliced bread! Hands down! On second thought it's BETTER than sliced bread, cuz I'd much rather slice my own bread than watch LIVE TV again! No commercials EVER!! Whoohoo!! K-bye!!
