Good things come to those who hoard.

What I am about to reveal is, perhaps, the best and most intimate look you will EVER get into my inner-psyche. The list of recorded programs currently in my TiVo.

If you don't know what TiVo is, I cannot help you.

I am divulging this, because blogging is like therapy for me. And in our daily couch sessions, I have divulged my obsessive need/genetic disposition toward hoarding. Stock piling random trinkets, pantry items, fabric, baking goods, flower pots, you name it.

It appears, per my husband's observation, that my hoarding issue is not contained to tangible or REAL things, and/or people that actually exist. In real life. I can hoard fantasies too, it seems, particularly TV shows (which stem, I think, from a fear that nightly entertainment will cease to exist). I blame the summer television schedule and the writers strike of 2007 for that unnatural fear. Because I NEED entertainment. And from the looks of my TiVo list, it appears that teenage drama, medical mysteries and genetic mutations are the stuff of entertaining gold.

But you can be the judge of me. Go ahead and make fun.

Gossip Girl (4)
Survival of the Half-Ton Teen (new, but interesting...the title sucked us in)
Americas Next Top Model (3)
Grey's Anatomy...season finale, which I've already watched, but just can't stand to part with it.
90210 (6)
The Hills (4)
House (5)
ER (2)
Little People, Big World (5)

All I can say is that I like to have options. Especially during the summer, when there is nothing but crap on TV. So I am saving up. And all of you who are watching Rock of Love reruns in a few weeks while I am still finding out (for the first time) whether Brody and Audrina are an item on The Hills...all I've got to say is that sometimes good things come to those who hoard.

I think that should be my life motto.
