Dilemma

New TV shows are definitely back! And, I’m SOOOOO excited about Desperate Housewives tonight that I’ll probably pee my pants. I’ve missed DH desperately.

This past week was the return of some other favorites too. My Name is Earl, Scrubs, and The Office all premiered in the last few days. Of course, add that to Big Brother 3 times/week, our DVR/TiVo is going nuts.

Herein lies the problem: We’re getting a new DVR tomorrow. You see, for the past…oh I dunno….18 months, we’ve been “borrowing” the cable company DVR from my parents. When I moved out and into our new home in Nov 2006, my mom graciously offered for me to take the DVR I had been using while at their house since there was a six week waiting list for a new one. Turns out the ‘rents subscribe to EVERY option you can buy through the cable company. Since I’ve been borrowing their DVR, this means Hubs and I have had unlimited access to every movie channel, every HD channel, it’s been great!

But, mom recently decided to create her own TV room at their house (good for her!), so she needs her DVR back. I already felt guilty for keeping it as long as we did, so we’re handing it over to her tomorrow b/c the cable company is bringing us one of our very own.

The problem is that since the new shows started, our DVR is chuck full of shows! And, if it’s going bye-bye tomorrow, we’ll have to spend all night watching shows that have accumulated over the past few days. Which, wouldn’t normally be a problem, but we’re also trying to clean out the basement in anticipation of the big renovation that starts a week from Tuesday. And, several people are coming over tonight to pick up items I offered through Freecycle, so that’ll interrupt our show watching.

We’re going to have a very busy evening.

Had we thought ahead, we would have shifted a majority of the shows to the TiVo upstairs, but we’re not that organized right now. Actually, we’re not that organized ever.
