I'm A Liar

Sorry - I don't know what possesed me to say I would be back yesterday. I thought I would have time to post again, but obviously, I don't know my own schedule well enough!

It was hard enough getting caught up yesterday on the blogs I do read religiously, then there was school pick up, dinner, Sissy's bathtime, etc. And of course, the big 2 hour finale of American Idol.

It's weird, but I watch that stupid show and really don't care what the outcome is. It's just like my finishing a stupid book logic: I just HAVE to know. I only half watch the dang show anyway.

As is typical of my life, the phone usually rings off the hook when I try to watch anything. Last night, the Evil Twin's mom called and wanted to speak to ONLY HIM. So, I had to find him. After the kids get in bed, the Evil Twin wanders off and I suppose he could be on his computer downstairs. All I really know is that he IS downstairs. He's not interested in watching my programs.

He might be down there using the restroom. I wouldn't know, since I'm not down there. But, she called and since the Evil Twin NEVER answers the phone, I had to go track him down. Luckily, we have a DVR and I could pause my precious program (not that I really care much, anyway). It's a rare and specific form of OCD - you don't have to understand it, 'cause I don't either.

It is May 22nd and it is currently (according to my computer weather station icon) 54 degrees here or (according to my indoor/outdoor remote control thermometer thingie) 61 degrees. This weather sux! Bring on the global warming!

  1. I only watch American Idol at the very beginning where you have all the freaks that don't know they can't sing (or just looking for attention) and once they all get to be good singers I lose interest. I just want to see the train wrecks and to be honest I didn't even watch that this year.

  2. My DH (darling husband) does the same thing.I *know he's got a secretary at work, but dagnabit, I'm not one at home!

    He *never answers the phone and then has the nerve to expect me to field his calls and tell people he can't talk. Sheesh.

    Anyway, it's hardly ever for him at home. Most people call us on our cell phones.

    Except his parents.

    Did I mention that they're staying with us for 2 nights, then coming back again on Sunday for another 2 nights? :-D

    Have a happy weekend.

    Oh, and Warped ron, I only like the freak show as well. After that, I figure I'll hear about the good ones sooner or later.

  5. Ron - see that's the part that I kinda half watch (actually I half watch all of it).

    kwr - LOL. 2 extra comments! Woot! Oh, and have fun with your ILs. We don't have family who stay with us - they live close enough to visit and be gone!

  7. I don't watch American Idol. I just never get to watch much tv so I don't really get interested in shows.

    My girls watch it so they talk about it but other than that, I wouldn't have a clue what's going on with it...LOL

  8. Juanuchis, you and me, both sister!


    Wyld, you know I'm just joking right? Although I would like to see some vaguely summer-like weather soon.

    BG - I only watch two shows, ever, and they're both finished now. With most shows, except Dexter, I usually semi-watch and lurk on the computer. LOL.

  9. I was at a friend's house when the semi-finals were on....and I became very interested in a show I'd never seen before. I'm sure I'd be addicted if I watched, even ONCE.

    So I drink instead. ;)

    I think i've been conditioned by Al Gore or something. I feel guilty just throwing out a glass bottle.
