Time Management
I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone who’s ever met me that I have issues taking on too many projects. I can’t help it. I get so excited about trying something new, and then trying something else, and WAIT, there’s something else I’d like to do, that I overbook myself on a semi-weekly basis.
But this week, I have to budget my time wisely. Very. Very. Wisely. You see, when a certain person has lost a large amount of their monthly income, they have to get rid of certain amenities. One of those, for us, was cable TV. Lord, how I miss being able to record my favorite shows, then plop down on the couch on Saturday night (yes, I am a loser) and watch them back to back. Gawd, I miss not worrying when I’m going to get home from work or when the baby goes to sleep because, hell, I’ll just start recording my show then fast-forward through all the commericals! Perfect!
Well, it’s perfect no longer. Not only am I starved for anything that isn’t a rerun because of our lack of cable, I also have a zillion shows I’m dying to see during this wonderful premiere week, and, honestly, I may have to give up everything else. Including eating, feeding my family, working, changing dirty diapers and vacuuming. Especially those last two.
For example, here’s my monday night.
Dancing with the Stars at 7 p.m., which I’ve gotten away with watching in the past because Lulu loves to dance and I make her do the moves with me. Trent despises this.
Heroes at 8 p.m. Save the cheerleader, save the world! Who knew mutants could be so good looking?
And The Hills at 9, because everyone needs to watch some rich, snotty 20-year-olds fight about who leaked their sex tape. And I’m not afraid to be the person who tells the world what they’re missing.
And it only gets worse from there. Tuesday won’t be too bad, with another episode of Dancing with the Stars as my only real program, but then there’s Wednesday, with a Dancing with the Stars results show and a new horrible guilty pleasure called Gossip Girl on the CW and the first episode of Private Practice, the Grey’s Anatomy spin off. Then, of course, we have The Office and Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday, but this schedule may change, as Grey’s started to suck some serious goat balls last year. I’m willing to give it one more chance, but, as you can see, I have little time for crappy TV. Or anything else. Like the outdoors. Or my husband. Eh, who needs a social life, anyway.
I’m surprised you didn’t post my TV picks…or at least include yours in table format. Nothing says well-adjusted 26 year-old like the TV schedule she keeps in her purse.
I forgot what the schedule entailed, and didn’t want to do an injustice by not describing in full.
Dude, what about House on Tuesdays? If you haven’t gotten into that one, I highly recommend it…
Wow, I am getting so caught up in this too. Except instead of the Hills I watch Biggest Loser (my favorite!) and Prison Break (Michael is back in prison – its insane!) and then there are my favorite sitcoms – these are the real dangerous ones….
How I met your mother
My Boys
Two and a Half Men
and my new favorite ….drum roll please……The Big Bank Theory. HILARIOUS!
