Predicting a Headache

You know there is a headache, a backache, a pain in the ass, as well as a ton of aggravation in your future when you turn on the DVR to check that you recorded last night's season premiere of Mad Men and find that some else also recorded an episode of "Bathroom Renovations" from the DIY network.

Oh, no! Hide it, William! It's too soon after the laundry room layers! Oh ya poor thang.

If you don't hide, I guess we will all just wait for the pics. And the new begats.

This is quite devastating. Is this one of those shows you can watch online? Because I feel like I need to finally get on the boat with it.

Sounds like a begats-ache to me.

Guess you should have opted for the dual tuner DVR. :)

That's why you should have Sky Plus over there. A digital recording box thing that lets you record everything on series link and two at a time.

Over here it's on a par with microwave ovens and diswashers!

Time to put your foot down.

Show her who is boss.

Make sure she realizes who wears the pants in the family.

So, to ensure she understands that you won't hesitate to point out the family hierarchy, get her a glass of chardonay, rub her feet, and enjoy watching other people renovate. Heck, fluff her pillow if she needs it.

We all know whose desires really matter.

Oh, how horrible! Don't worry, they will reshow it sometime this week. Last summer I think they played the last episode right before the new episode? "Check your tv listings".

Lol....that is too funny...

Yeahhhhh, not good. But remember...w/out Bathroom Renovations how would the general population know about such nifty tricks as the wet towel & hot iron idea. Keep that in mind while you try to watch the episode on youtube.

Hi William,
I know this doesn't have anything to do with "bathroom renovations", but I wanted to see if you might be interested in a project we're working on for Box Tops for Education. Through Box Tops for Education’s online Marketplace program, schools can earn up to $20,000 apiece each year by shopping online at the more than 70 stores that participate – all at no extra cost to the consumer.

If you’re interested in getting involved, we’d love to send you a $50 gift card to redeem at the Box Tops Marketplace, and enhance your first experience shopping via the site.

We hope that you will share your experience & encourage further support for education with your readers through your blog.

Thanks for taking hte time to read this, and I hope to hear back from you soon!

You can at least be thankful it wasn't "Snapped" on the Oxygen Channel.
Look it up.
