What a surprise. I haven't been doing much of anything but sitting around and watching the new TV. This is going to be the first year my husband and I will have the whole family, even my Mom and Dad from Texas, over for Thanksgiving. I should be on my hands and knees somewhere, scrubbing something, but instead I'm just watching TV. I kind of miss the good old days, when there were only four or five TV channels to choose from. It was easier to walk away when you could see there wasn't anything worth watching. With this satellite receiver you can look for something to watch for so long you get tired of looking and just stop at the next thing you come to that doesn't look like it will suck too much. Maybe there's a good old black and white movie on Turner, something with Clark Gable or Betty Davis. Or maybe the History channel has a documentary showing how the invention of buttons changed the course of history. If my husband was here he would be more interested in going for a ride in the Wayback machine, and watching old episodes of I Dream Of Genie or Hawaii 5-O. At least I like to waste my time expanding my mind, watching something new, not some 30 year old sitcom I've already seen a hundred times. At least that's what I tell myself. You never know when that button trivia might impress your boss, leading to a promotion and big fat raise.
