Kinda like a Mislabeled VHS

One night my husband and I were browsing through our recorded shows on DVR for something to watch.  We had recorded what we thought was an Ultimate Fighting Championship on FX.  As we attempt to cue it up to the fights we slowly discover that it wasn't what it was labeled on the channel guide.  Instead of Mixed Martial Arts Fighters competing in UFC we were watching oil drillers being shot into space to battle a meteor in the movie Armageddon.  I was disappointed.


My husband turned to me with a grin and said "It's kinda like finding a mislabeled VHS from our childhood." It made me giggle.  Then I thought how my younger children may never know what a VHS is because I prefer digital content to hard copies now.  After the kids broke our last VHS player by cramming it full of DVDs it was the end of VHS in this house.  In fact they watch Netflix and Amazon Instant video more than DVDs. For the sake of keeping our DVDs in a playable condition the kids have to ask for a DVD to play as they are all put up away from them.

My 30 Days of Thankful

Day 29

I'm thankful for quiet nights when all the kids are asleep. Curling up in bed and watching a Hallmark/Lifetime (The Ovary Networks) Christmas movie while drinking either cocoa or a glass of wine. the beverage all depends how the day went.. some days just earn a glass of wine.  I have my DVR set and ready to record the next two week's worth of Hallmark and Lifetime Holiday specials.  I will be treating myself on my birthday with a day or movies.Two more weeks til my birthday and counting!
