(a glimpse into my relationship with my Digital Video Recorder)
April 1st-ish
Things were going so well between us the past 3 years that I feel I have taken you for granted. Maybe this recent rebellion is so I will appreciate you more, I don't know. I just assumed you would always be there to record American Idol for me, never missing a note that my "Archie" would sing, never missing a word the judges would say, never missing the impending results the following night. I'm sorry, please forgive me.
April 8th-ish
I thought when I apologized, we had cleared up this mess. But now you're just acting out! I know you resent me because you only malfunction for my shows, missing 30 seconds of a show at a time, sound going out so I can't hear what is being said, giving me the run around, always sending me back to the menu. I thought we were past this...but it requires that both of us are committed to making things better, and I don't think you care anymore.
April 15-ish
Ok- I am not easily offended or angered, but you have crossed a line! Now you just taunt me...turning on and off with reckless abandon, just to prove that you are in charge of this relationship! Do you think you are IRREPLACEABLE?!! Well- I called Mike at technical support and he told me how to handle you! It didn't work of course, but THEN I talked to Sonya and she gave me permission to unplug you and send you back! That's right! You are outta here...no more disappointment because of you! Good riddons!

Ok- maybe I was a bit hasty. It's hard to watch American Idol on live TV. I miss the comfort and convenience you offered me. It's hard to schedule your evening around the shows you want to watch instead of having a life and working-in my shows when it's convenient for me. Only 4 more days til your replacement comes...maybe she will be a real DVR, one that I can depend on, spend quality time with, and we'll laugh and cry together as we once did...

Couldn't live without the DVR... and, I can't believe how close you are to having little CJ here!
hahaha u crack me up! I'd be mad if mine did that too, because i RARELY watch it on live time. I just loved that convenience of fast forwarding through Kristy Lee Cook. haha. Whats this? Your babys name is CJ? :) AWWWW!
yes- his name will be Clifford Joseph and we will call him CJ for short.
Thats GREAT!!!!! Encore!!!
:) Charity, you are too funny....I am so glad that there will be an end to the DVR insanity soon! I love CJ---that was what my grandpa went by and everybody loves him...
You made me laugh out loud.
Hi Charity! I followed the link on Chandra's blog and thought I'd say Hi. Congratulations on your boy coming. Hope life is treating you well!
I am excited for your big day coming. I love my boys, my girls too but I know you know all about that. I thought you might wait to see if Archie won Idol before you picked the name, well CJ should be good ;)
This was hysterical!
Let us know how the new one treats you.
No more bitter moments of blue screen when you want David Archuletta! I hope the new DVR works flawlessly, that way when I miss an episode because my antenna passes out I'm coming to your house!
I have felt this way about my Smallville DVDs occasionally. That's right... I may not watch TV, but I own all 6 DVD sets of Smallville (so far), and I watch the entire set at least twice a year. Hopefully your replacement will come soon and all will be well.
