If you're obsessively watching a TV Show on DVD that you are late to coming to love, it is HELPFUL to know which season and disc you are on. If you don't, you might have something like this happen to you:
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Me: Oh shoot. They're out of the ONE disc I need! I need disc three and it's checked out!
Lady at Hastings: Can I help you?
Me: Yeah - I need disc three, Season two of Army Wives but I don't see it.
Her: Let me check and se if we have it in or not.
Me: Oh! That'd be GREAT, thankyousomuch.
Then I wandered off with the kids to let them pick a .99 movie for the week.
Lady at Hastings: Oh! I got ALL excited because I found disc three but it was season one!
Me: Damnit! I'm so bummed!!! I NEED disc three for season two. *sniff sinf*
Her: I know - I'm sorry. I even checked the system - it's checked out to someone and not due for another 5 days.
Me: SO rude. I NEED that disc.
Her: Sorry!! *sniff sniff* I'm off to get a kleenex because I am just so very sad that you won't be able to watch the show obsessively like you want to and will have to wait to find out if Denise and Frank split up or what happens with Pamela's stalker or if Roxy and your new TV boyfriend can get past this pain-pill addiction. Gosh, I need an Xanax!!
Me: Me too! *wail*
Fast forward about 6 hours to me telling this to Rob:
Rob: Uh, babe?
Me: mmmhmmm?
Rob: Didn't YOU just have Disc 3 checked out?
Me: What? WHat are you TALKING about?
Rob: Didn't you JUST take back disc 3 today? You needed Disc 4, Season 2 - not Disc three.
Me: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
Rob: Babe. You're losin' it.
Me: How could I be so STUPID?! I DID turn in Disc three today! I'm a MORON! I needed disc FOUR! Damnitall!
Rob: Wow. I can't wait to tell everyone I know that this just happened because I think it's hilarious to laugh at your receeding brain power and lack of short term memory.
Me: NO SEX FOR YOU!
The end.

Haha, I do that all the time
Ha! That is so funny! We watch a lot of season shows too, so it's so hard to keep track of what we have & haven't watched. Thank God for our Blockbuster queue or else we would have NO idea!!
That is seriously funny that YOU were the person that had that disc checked out, lol.
Mannnnnnnn I did that with the Sopranos. I got all kinds of confused.
But Army Wifes, now you are talking serious business. Try going to Lifetime dot com and you can watch some of the episodes there I think.
I could totally bust you on Denise and Frank (which by the way Andy loves to rag on Denise b/c that's my name too) and their situation. I'm on pins and needles for this Sunday night to see what happens. And I could totally tell you that you are going to flip out at Roxie's hubby... my oh my... and Roxie's new friend at the bar. Oh and Emma Lynn and her fiasco!
The funny thing is, Andy goes to work and starts chatting it up with his coworkers (all females) about Army Wifes. He's hooked! LOL
Sooooo....did your short term memory problem prevent you from withholding sex later on??? LOL
That is so funny. (And in my head you are saying "no sex for you" with an accent like the Soup Nazi.)
OMGosh, I LOVE ArmyWives!! LOVE it!
FUNNY!!!
LOL...I hope you are able to go get disc 4 then!
Too funny! That is why we do Netflix! You pick the shows you want and the computer takes care of sending the one you need next...so nice! We have watched a ton of show like that. We just started watching 24 season one last night!
After what I just pulled (see my last post), I can't give ANYBODY a hard time for being forgetful! You poor thing...I'm sure it's from lack of sleep, trying to keep up with four kids, AND the fact that nursing babies suck their mom's brain right out her head! LOL
That.is.hysterical! Funniest story I've heard in a long time!
You crack me up! When I have a bad day I read your blog and it cracks me up.
Oops...we all have days like these.
If you had just returned it, wouldn't the lady have seen it in the return bin? Sounds like a slacker employee to me. So, did you go back and get disk 4? And I think it's totally OK to be obsessive about shows, movies, really hot vampire that don't actually exist, etc...
Especially really hot vampires... and what? he doesn't exist? :-O
ya, I was wondering why that lady didn't realize you had just returned it. hmmm... But that is definatley a very funny story. LOVE IT. That is so the kind of thing I would do. LOL TG for netflix!
Heidi - passing on an award to ya. Check out my blog for details. :)
BTW - funny...too funny!
LOL. I'm addicted to that show too.
For me it was NCIS!
lol, I so understand how this can happen. Do you know how lost I got in the desperate housewives dvds when I started watching 3 seasons into it :-)
Don't feel bad. Last night I was on the phone for 20 minutes and for 5 of them I was frantically searching my purse for MY PHONE!!! Yeah.
