Al Gore invented it!

My Laziness has hit an all time low.

As if it wasn't bad enough that I DVR every show under the sun- I have found a new way to be lazy.I watch TV online.

I went from couch potato to mouse potato.

While the DVR is by far the best invention since sliced bread, it comes with the slight inconvenience of having to fast forward through commercials.

Watching shows on the internet involves no commercials. And since I have a laptop, I can watch anywhere.

Sitting on the couch watching TV requires actually sitting ON the couch. Watching on the laptop enables me to muti-task to the nth degree.

While bathing my children tonight, I sat propped on the toilet seat and watched last night's Prison Break. By the time it was almost over, my daughter was complaining of the icy cold bath water, and my son looked like a raisin.

No problem. I clicked pause, and moved them to their respective rooms. Telling them to put their pajamas on while I sat on the floor in my daughter's room finishing the episode.

My daughter did a great job, even brushed her own teeth and hair. My poor son on the other hand, ended up with both of his legs stuck in the same pant leg, and his shirt stuck on his big head. Once the episode was over, I helped him re-adjust.

I hear they are accepting nominations this month for 'Mother of the year'; I am a shoo-in.

Of course, the fun didn't end there. While my children ate dinner, I sat at the kitchen table, and watched the previews for NEXT weeks Prison Break.

I have an American Express card- that affords me certain privileges- the best of them being that I can watch full trailers for Prison Break- more than you non-AmEx holding peons receive.

A quick aside to my female readers- is there a man in this world better looking than Wentworth Miller? He is DEFINITELY on my 'list.' <purr> sadly, he is also on my mother's list. While that SHOULD ruin my fantasy, it doesn't.

Our internet service was down for almost two hours last week. I felt like a junkie looking for a fix. I was going through major withdrawals. Much like you keep trying to turn on a light when the power is out- I kept trying to bring up a webpage.

I didn't realize until that minute how much of a hold the web has on me. I do so many things online these days.

I pay bills, look up phone numbers, find directions, diagnose myself and everyone else with new diseases, watch TV, talk to friends, Google old boyfriends, make travel reservations and more.

I went to see a new dentist yesterday, and had to fill out new patient paperwork. I felt very awkward writing with a PEN!

I cannot remember the last time I bought an actual physical postage stamp. I print all of my postage online.

I haven't set foot in a clothing or shoe store for close to two years. Why should I? I shop from home, and don't have to deal with sales people.

My grandmother- who is almost 87 was visiting me last week. She asked what I was doing for work. I tried- in vain- to describe this blog. The notion was lost on her. She couldn't understand how I could TYPE and other people could read. It made no sense to her that a computer could communicate with another computer. She babbled on about conspiracy, and robots, as I just laughed inside.

She told me "You know Cici- it's probably just a phase- soon they'll go back to typewriters- you'll see- I'm very smart!"

Yes, Grandma, I know. Oh, and your bra goes UNDER your shirt, not over.

Until we meet again,

Cici
