Overheard at This Old House

The Mister: We have a problem.

Moi: What would that be?

The Mister: We need another Tivo. We can't record all the shows we want to watch this fall.

Moi: How is that possible? I don't even watch that much TV. We do NOT need another Tivo.

(The Mister hands me a fall television schedule which he has created on the computer, listing all the shows we need to Tivo on each day of the week and COLOR CODED -pink for things only I watch, green for things only he watches, yellow for things we watch together and white for new shows he wants to check out. I. am. not. kidding.)

The Mister: Look at Thursday. On Thursdays alone we have four shows to Tivo at 8:00pm and 9:00pm.

Moi: (Looking at the schedule.) You forgot "So You Think You Can Dance."

The Mister: I think I have the answer. You just need some more family time.

Moi: (wondering what the hell he's talking about. Family time? Does he want to turn off the TV and play board games? Scrabble would be fun...Or Trivial Pursuit. I love Trivial Pursuit! He's so sweet. Wait...this isn't right.) What do you mean "family time?"

The Mister: I think you should go over to The Sister's house and watch your shows with her.

...sigh...

Sorry ladies, he's taken.

Well we won't tell The Mister this, but I think The Shame Palace will be getting rid of Netflix in the Fall and investing in a second tivo. However, you can keep your Tori & Dean BS at your own house. =)
