Thinking Out Loud Thursday - May 28, 2015

Happy Thursday!!  You know what today is -- it's Thinking Out Loud Thursday.  You know what I'm thinking out loud about today?  I'm thinking about all the TV shows on my DVR that I haven't had a chance to watch.  We were gone on vacation for 10 days, then I went to Kansas City for 3 days and now I've been staying at a hotel downtown St. Louis for a work thing all this week.  All that time away from home means our DVR is lighting up with all the shows it's capturing.

How many shows do you record?  We have about 15 shows that we regularly record.  I thought it was genius when Eric started recording our 10 o'clock news.  We missed it more than we caught it, but now we can watch it whatever time we happen to be getting into bed.  And all those really negative stories they throw in - we just press that little arrow to fast forward right through them.  Don't know why we didn't think about recording this years ago.

Then we have the semi-crazy shows.  

The Bachelorette.  Yes we (and I do mean "we") are total suckers for this big bunch of crazy drama.  Britt or Kaitlyn.  Kaitlyn or Britt.  Geez!  We were sitting on the edge of our seats to see who's love life we would see unfold right before our eyes!  In case you're wondering, we're pulling for "The Healer" from St. Louis.  I mean, come on -- how can you not root for your home town man?!? 

Married at First Sight.  Yep - that's right.  These couples sign up to marry someone they have never even seen before.  A group of "experts" interviews the contestants (if you call them that) and decides who should marry who.  The bride goes to buy a dress, shows up and BAM, marries the guy at the end of the aisle.  Kind of crazy, don't you think?!?  Could you do that -- just marry whoever the experts think would be right for you?

We also tape a couple daily shows.

Ellen.  Love me some Ellen.  She is usually so funny with her interviews and guests.  I would absolutely LOVE to be at the taping of her show. 

Jimmy Fallon.  I can always count on a laugh when watching Jimmy, but can't always count on being able to stay awake long enough to watch his entire show. Thank you, DVR, for always letting me see the entire show.  Again, would love to be sitting in his audience.  

One thing I haven't gotten into recording are movies.  I have no idea why we don't tape the ones we would like to see.  Sure would make all the money we're paying for every movie channel known to man more worth it.  Maybe I'll make that one of my goals for June -- tape three movies.  That should be a pretty easy goal to accomplish.  We'll see if I actually remember to do it!

So what are some things you tape?  Would love to hear from you -- pretty sure we have a little bit more storage I could suck up by taping more stuff.
