We caved.
After 5 months of broadcast TV, we are getting cable again. I know, I know, we were doing so well. Not getting stressed out by the number of channels to choose from, comfortably complacent watching episodes of ‘The Moment of Truth’ and a million Law & Order’s.. Life was good until we found ourselves going through the channels in the early evening last Friday and stopped on ‘Most Outrageous Moments’. Kind of like America’s Funniest Home Videos.. Oh My God, what happened to us.
So being afraid that the next step from there is eating dinner at 4 and watching ‘The Wheel’ I took things into my own hands and ordered cable. We get it on Monday morning.
I’m also getting sick of getting up and readjusting the rabbit ears and getting pissed when the upstairs neighbors walk into a part of the apartment that interferes with our reception.
And our parents (all of them) being the nice people they are have decided to all go in on a new TV for us. So we kind of have to get cable, I don’t think you can even hook rabbit ears up to the newer sets, can you?
Well it’s a good excuse to splurge. The only reason we really got rid of it in the first place was because we were trying to save money to move.
Anyway blah boring.
We finally have some summery weather, the dog is doing well. He’s so much better when it’s hot out. It makes him really lazy.
Last weekend my mother in law came to visit and she brought the best dog toy for Saul, a deer antler. I was a little skeptical at first but he loves it. Saul has jaws of steel, he can chew through and destroy most anything but the antler has been a challenge. They don’t splinter like a beef bone can and he looks so wild and wolfy chewing on it. He seriously brought it into his crate when he was going to bed the other night, he’s in love. I think the company is called Antlerz or something like that. The antlers are harvested from the wild. I guess deer shed their antlers every year so it’s a natural renewable resource, always a huge bonus. We’ve been giving him plastic nylabones to chew on and though he loves them I don’t really like him ingesting all the little plastic pieces.
I gotta run. Going to Stanley’s to get some produce for some yummy summer spaghetti.
