Hold On.....Just Give It A Minute.


I’ve told y’all I don’t watch TV, right?  Well, somehow Kathy has me watching Downton Abby and I really like it.  Cheryl wants me watching the boys from Monroe in Duck Dynasty, too.  Maybe I’ll watch to see if I know any of ‘em!  We’ll see.  And then my family has pulled me kicking and screaming into watching their TV show with them.  Given they’re all geeky-nerd/nerdettes (which I am the polar opposite of), that generally means the SyFy channel.  And you know by now that as soon as the “Let’s watch TV” request has been made, my internal self groans in pain and wishes for some way to get out of it.  But then it’s my family, and I love them beyond measure, and so I cave.  I’m seriously thinking of taking up knitting or crochet because I can’t stand to sit there and do nothing.  I’m b-o-r-e-d!  I sit there with Restless-Mind-Syndrome just itching to get up and do something!  The dishes!  Floors!  Anything!  But no, I sit it out and watch TV with the fam.  I’m not real happy about it, but there you go.  (This is where Pinterest comes in handy.  I’ve found some great simple crochet patterns there.  Love, Love, LOVE the baby flip flops!  Now if I could just remember to get the yarn when I’m in town…then somebody can have a baby so I can gift them! :D )

 
So about watching SyFy, the show we watch is Eureka.  Sheriff Jack Carter, the law in town, often has these after-the-fact situations when he comes rushing back into the room to find out where somebody lives or what the directions are to a location he was already on his way to.  Well I feel his pain.  I do this all the time.  It makes me roll my eyes at myself.  And usually it’s in the form of sending an email….and then another to add on something I forgot….and then another, and another, and…you get the idea. 

Anyway, sitting at my desk last Friday morning, seconds after posting to Facebook that the blog is up about my addiction to Relationships, I see the musical-tie-in…..

♫♪ might as well face it you’re Addicted to Love ♪♫  

Geeze!  Why didn’t I see that before?  What a great title for that blog had I only recognized it before hitting 'publish'.  Hindsight is a buggar!  And it’s not just this moment.  Just like the Sheriff, I have a lifetime of these moments!  Thankfully, I just let it go and laugh it off.  It’s not worth losing any sleep over.

So I wonder.  Does everyone other than me really enjoy watching TV?  And is anyone out there like me and the Sheriff ......in your rush to living life.....
do you forget to  …. 
Hold on....just give it a minute!
