What does it say about me when I blow off a mommy-and-me pool party to stay home and indulge in something less G-rated...
Mind out of the gutter, kids. I'm talking about curling up on the sofa to watch the first season of Big Love on DVD.
Maybe it makes me a lousy friend, but I just couldn't take ONE MORE get-together where we all sit around and compare our kids' teeth, sleep schedules, eating habits, walking, and blah-bitty-blah-blah... Well, for today at least.
That's right, single people, you heard me, Talking about our kids' all the time bores me too!
Ironically, I ditched this particular group of mommy friends for a show that none of them would have approved of... and Boy! are they missing out. This show is unbelievable! As well as, highly addictive... As soon as I finished watching the first two DVDs, I made my husband run out and rent the next three. RIGHT NOW!
We decided to cancel cable months ago in an effort to save some money and our brains from going to mush... Even though there are a few shows we really miss and others (like this one) that we almost bypass completely, we've agreed that it's been for the best. I've since started reading again and, of course, joined the blogosphere. We spend our weekends getting things accomplished (and NOT watching The Real Housewives of Orange County). My husband has gotten serious about his personal projects and began devoting "office hours" to them.
It was on one of these "working nights" that I decided to rent some DVDs and happened upon the first two episodes of Big Love. Having heard so much about it, I was intrigued and now I'm hooked. THANK GOODNESS for "TV-on-DVD" being so hot!
The only problem is my total and utter lack of self-control. I managed to watch the entire season in a matter of days. Not that there were that many episodes... but STILL.
