Guilty little TV pleasures

Hi everyone

 My name is *L*Mo

and i'm a TV-aholic...

Hi *L*Mo!!!!

Yes, it's true

I love TV!

Im one of those people that really enjoys it at all hours of the day

{and I even fall asleep with it on}

While my boyfriend DOES happen to feel the same way about TV,

  He does NOT however

enjoy my TV choices from time to time....

He recently complained:

"Honey, since Walt has moved out, I'm slowly having to watch MORE Oprah and LESS Sports Center and I don't like it."

I feel bad for this...really I do...

but I'm just not one of those girls that looooves sports

Don't get me wrong,

I LOVE live sports when I am there

but I'm just not a sports page kind of gal...SO SUE ME

This got me thinking about the kinds of shows I make my poor boyfriend watch...

The tame side would be stuff like Modern Family, stuff on the Food Network, travel channel, and the occasional Oprah

{Pat can't lie-some of the Oprah shows are QUITE intriguing to him and I KNOW IT!!}

But here are a few that just plain DO NOT FLY during couples TV time...

1. One Born Every Minute

What is it about babies and shows about having them that I just 

LOVE

?!?

I could watch this kinda stuff all day!

In fact,

When I first saw a commercial for this show

I literally made a calendar reminder in my Outlook

to make sure I didn't miss the premiere

{and Lauren's bday...it was a double dose reminder}

Lately, 

I've been watching this on Comcast On Demand when I'm in bed

and Pat has fallen sound asleep next to me...

The problem?

Every time I watch it in bed

Pat gets woken up 

by the craaaazy, ear piercing pain screams of these women in labor!!!

{even after I quickly turn the volume down when I know it's coming! I'm never fast enough...}

His response always cracks me up...

"OMG what the hell is that screaming??"

"Nothing babe, just a woman giving birth shhhh back to sleeeeeeep"

Can you think of a worse way for a man to be woken from a deep slumber?  

I think not.

2. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

{currently on hiatus until Season 2 begins (yay!)}

I've never really watched any of the other Housewives shows but for some reason this one appealed to me

AND

I became completely addicted

Here is what a conversation centered around my interest in the show sounds like between Pat and I:

Pat: I'm seriously worried about WHY you like this show

Lindsey: It's entertaining

Pat: Yes but is this what you want your life to be?  Is this what you want your friendships to be like??

Lindsey: No...I mean I wouldn't be OPPOSED to their money situation but...

Pat: These women are HORRIBLE, catty bitches!

Lindsey: YES! thus, entertaining to MOI!

You have to admit, he has a valid point.

Why do we even like watching this junk?

Is it because it makes us forget about our own problems?

our own friend and family drama??

I don't think I can say that I relate to these women and their issues....

so WHY is it so awesomely entertaining??

Either way,  I plan on continuing to watch these shows...

but I think I will make SURE my loving boyfriend is nowhere to be found.

{You're welcome, honey}

xo,

*L*Mo
