Ode to the DVR

I have to say there are a few inventions within the past 15 years or so that have changed my life. I was just fine before them but after having and using them I can never not have them. The latest on my list of cool things I can't live without is the DVR! Oh! It's so awesome to watch TV on my time and not schedule things around when..say,..American Idol is on. It's also great to skip through commercials or the really long dragged out episodes of the biggest loser...just hop to the end and see who's going home. I love it too because I can have an assorted collection of kids shows at the touch of a button for my munchkins and we don't have to find a DVD, put it in, and worry that they're going to scratch it. Oh and you know when sometimes you 'miss' something that was just said ...just back it up a bit...even when you're not recording...or pause if you have to use the little ladies room in the middle of a show...Yes it ROCKS! Not only do I watch TV when I want to, I watch way less of it then I used to before I had it...leaving time for me to waste in other ways. (like Blog!)
