HGTV

My husband likes me. A lot. But he’s pretty vocal about the one thing that he doesn’t like about me: My T.V. addiction. Since being on ‘modified bed rest’ for about three months now (is that ALL?) I have logged a lot of television hours.  I’m pretty bad when I’m not on bed rest. After working all day I’ll often walk through the door, put down my purse, and turn on the television. It’s not like I want to watch anything in particular, I just like having the background noise. I was a latchkey kid growing up so the TV was like a babysitter. It still is. Now that I’m on bed rest I spend roughly ½ my day watching cheesy TV – mostly HGTV design and real estate shows. You think that I’d get bored of hearing people say “I hate the paint colour” when looking at new houses (then re-paint, you ridiculous people!!) or “well, the master bedroom is kind of small” (when it’s at least twice as big as my own) but I don’t. I like seeing people make big decisions and be happy with their choices. My favourites are Sarah Richardson, Property Virgins, House Hunters and For Rent.  Thanks HGTV!!
