Tips and Tricks for being a tv addict:

Ok here is the list of shows on our dvr in priority order-
*I did not delete or edit before it shows, maybe I need to do some DVR clean up
How I Met Your Mother-if you aren't watching this rent season 1 now, best show ever!
The Suze Orman Show- you should seriously be recording this show, amazing money advice!
Grey's Anatomy- again must watch!
The Celebrity Apprentice- Hubby loves the Donald
Entourage- Hubby's show
Law and Order SVU- must watch
The Amazing Race 15- I watched #1 with my parents when I was in high school. This season it was able to fit into our schedule and Hubby got hooked.
SNL- we both love
Desperate Housewives- I think Hubby's parents got us started on this when we were living in Chico. We would have Sunday night dinner and then watch Housewives. Miss that!
Flipping Out- people I know are on this show, and its a must watch
SYTYCD- you guys already know my obsession with this one
One Tree Hill- Used to be way better but I will still watch on occasion
The Bachelor: On the wings of love- I totally would have married Jake before watching this show, he picked Vienna, I'm over it.
SVU again, maybe for reruns, not really sure here
How I Met Your Mother again this one if for the reruns on Lifetime we got caught up that way
Nip/Tuck- weird show and I think its over. We need to rent the seasons because there were times we were confused
Mad Money- Hubby's show about stocks. Don't call me when it is on it is hard to hear

The Hills- still watch and I like Kristin but it is time to end
CSI- Love me some crime and hotties like Nick!
The Bachelorette- email me if you have read Reality Steve's spoilers.
Jessica Simpson's The Price of Beauty- My obsession with her was not increased by watching this show, bring back Newlyweds!!
Melrose Place- I think I watch three episodes last season
Jersey Shore- I'm sure it will be moved up in priority when it comes back on if we need to. Except MTV plays it 1,000 times so it doesn't really need to be. We love it!
Harpo- she raised me
Friday Night Lights- did you all know this came back to cable? it went away for awhile to a dish channel or something. it is back and not as good
The Amazing Race 16- Apparently I lied earlier about amazing race 15, I'm so confused about what number they are on!

Kate Plus 8- I can't stop watching. I can't stop reading her books either! I don't know why...
The Bachelor- ? The one before Jake?
The Marriage Ref- did any of you watch this show? it was hilarious! I hope it got picked up for next season!
Modern Family- because you guys all liked it so much, I'm not in love, but its ok
Days of our Lives- watched since 7th grade only watch when there is nothing else on
Sex Decoy: Love Stings- has anyone seen this show? we found it because they showed a clip of it on the soup. It is super funny but there are like 5 episodes they play over and over again.
Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood- Love Tori and her books too! I am really rooting for them to stay together and the Guncles to get a baby!
The View- aka my news

Ruby- LOVE Ruby!!!!
Southern Belles: Louisville- haha we have had this dvr for 3 years and I think that is when this show was on. It was quality!

Dating in the dark- AAAHHH hhhhhaaa this show was AMAZING where did it go? people would go on dates in a dark room and couldn't see each other and they would take compatibility tests and stuff and if they both picked each other they would decide if they wanted to meet. usually they didn't like each other in the light

ARE YOU SCARED? I am!!!

I will be adding Glee next season.

The tv was on mute while I was typing this. Just finished and Hubby walked over and said, "Just turn the tv off"

Do you understand why I had the no technology day now?

I can't give any advice on finding time to watch all these shows, I need a life!

Tips and Tricks Thursday topic preview

Just a reminder. The rules for tips and tricks thursday are: 1. Write a post about the topic and come back Thursday and link up!

This week's topic is:
Tips and Tricks for being a tv addict:

If you have a dvr list your top ten or more shows. If you don't have a dvr tell us what shows you have to watch. Tell us how you find time in your busy lives to keep up with all the shows you watch!

Yes, I love technology but not as much as you, you see

*Sorry I keep making you vom with the pictures! You want pretty wedding pictures tomorrow?

Here is our technology routine:
I wake up in the morning and turn on the TV to watch while I'm eating breakfast. Then I listen to it while I'm getting ready for work. When I get home I turn the TV on and eat my snack and lay on the couch until Hubby gets home. Normally Hubby says hi to Blue and me and then turns the computer on. Every other day when Hubby gets home we go work out. I take my ipod with me to listen to while I work out. Then we go back to the apartment and watch TV. He makes dinner and usually we turn the tv off or pause it while we eat. After dinner we watch a show. Sometimes he watches a show that I don't really care to watch and I check my email and facebook and clean up the kitchen and make lunches. So in generally we spend maybe 20 minutes with no technology on.

I don't neccesarily think that this is a bad thing. But I was kind of feeling like I'm letting myself and the apartment go. Now, I am proud to say that I haven't gained any weight since the wedding. Shockingly, I have even lost weight. I pretty much weigh myself everyday and if that number gets close to the wedding day weight I cut back on the fatty foods or work out more. But, Uncle Chris you can skip the rest of this paragraph if you don't want to get a gross visual of your adorable neice,
I was not shaving as often as I use to. Did anyone see Monique (not surfer wife the one in Precious) on Barbara Walters' special or the view? She tried shaving once and it hurt so she doesn't do it anymore? It wasn't that bad, plus my hair is blonde. I am going to blame the lack of sun shine and this very cold and rainy winter. What is the point of shaving when you wear pants and sweaters all the time? Part of it is also forgetting to bring razors into the shower with me. Do you ladies leave your razors in the shower? I find they get rusty and I refuse to shave with a rusty razor. Anyways, I had the epiphany last night while I was de-Amazonwomanizing myself that I had been letting myself and the apartment go.

So I proposed a no technology day! Obvi computers at work are a neccesity, but when we get home it is no TV, computers, cell phones or ipods. I posted this on facebook last night. I have to first admit that I am nosy. I am always asking people about stuff at work and checking people's facebooks. But I kinda feel like my future sister in law has taken her nosyness to a new level. She skypes me every time she has a question about my facebook status. So last night I posted that we were having a no technology day in our apartment tomorrow and I would talk to everyone Wednesday and then do do do here is fsil skype calling. FSIL, "Why are you having a no technology day?" Me, "Um, I don't know, we just are." Am I going to admit to her like I did to all of you that I was an Amazon woman and spend 20 minutes a day talking to my husband without distractions? No. Me, "What are you guys doing?" FSIL, "Watching CSI and we are both on our computers." She doesn't usually describe what they are doing in this much detail. I didn't know what the point of the description was, that you have a great relationship and use a lot of technology? FSIL, "What are you guys going to do?" Me, "I don't know." I honestly don't know. I would like to do some chores, read, or scrapbook. I don't know if Hubby will be down with that stuff so we might play some card games. We will probably work out since we didn't yesterday. Mostly I want to prove to myself and him that we aren't addicted to the TV and computer and can go without it.

What would you do with a day of no technology? Could you go a day without technology?

I'm a hooker, but I don't kiss on the lips

So I am going to be basing future posts on number of comments. So if you like the topic of a post please comment so I will keep it coming.

So far I guess you guys are enjoying the posts about my hair, my rings, celebs/tv shows, and when I get awards.

You will have to start passing out more awards if you want me to keep doing those posts. My award post was abysmal though.

I was all ready to take a picture of my rings together last night and realized I had left my camera in my car. It has been cold and rainy so I did not go outside to get it. My apologies! I will try to remember to bring it in the house tonight. So keep your fingers crossed for wedding ring post tomorrow. Friday we have another installment of Hubby and I's epic love story.

I have been searching for more hairspiration lately. Maybe I'll do a photo shoot this weekend for you guys for next week. I'm playing with instyle.com's celeb hair thing that puts celeb hair on your picture right now.

I was so tempted to do a post yesterday when I saw this nugget on people.com. But I saved it for you today. I know you all lurve the svu. Probably you all loved the oc back in the day. Well get ready because Mischa is going to be on svu!!! Of course she will be playing a hooker (oh sorry, pro) named Gladys. It airs March 3rd!

In Bachelor news, so confused about the whole Tenley being pregnant thing. Is that going to be in next weeks episode? Glad Michelle is gone. I thought Elizabeth's no kiss strategy was a good one. But it totally blew up in her face. I think he should have got rid of Jessie. She is boring.

Oprah!

*Oprah, I know this is kind of a crazy pic of you, but please be glad I didn't do the no make up picture. Its too scary and people wouldn't even know what the heck this post was about.

Well frogs (again I stole it from Stacie at Stacie's Madness -I would link if I knew what the crap mr. linky was or how to use it), I haven't seen very much upset over Oprah's announcement, but I am super bummed about it! If you aren't, or don't care, read yesterdays post, I specifically asked for advice people and received none!

Oprah is leaving me! She is like a second mother to me. I was a latch key kid growing up and Oprah and Days of our Lives kept me company while I "did my homework". My life will be a little more empty without her. Who will tell me about diets I won't do? Who will tell me about stuff I can't afford? About books I won't read? Shows I won't watch? Who will tell me weird stories that disturb me life? Who will tell me I shouldn't let the hubby look down there when the baby is coming out cause it will mess him up forever? Who will introduce me to people like Phil and Oz? Who will tell my daughter these things?

I know there are rumors that she is just moving to her own network. When she made her announcement, she did not mention it. She sounded like she was done. So I am going to cherish every crazy last moment with her. Because lets get real people, my cable probably won't have this new channel she is creating and I am not going to pay for that.
