Why do I Watch?

by lucy on September 14, 2012

Hilary from Feeling Beachie brings us this fun hop! It is funny the things you can gleam about people from simple statements.  Anyway, Hilary does have co-hosts that help.  This week: Annie, from The Lemon Drop. Annie provided the last two statements.

This week’s statements:
1. I like to __ when I am ___
2. ___ is my favorite vegetable
3. I get ________ when I ___________.
4. I’m surprised by _________ and ____________.

My Answers:
1. I like to clean when I am upset.

2. Corn is my favorite vegetable. Yes, I know, not one of the most nutritional veggies, being a  starch and all, but corn is so yummy and of course hot with butter and salt it is the absolute best!!! AND THE WORST for you.

So,there you go, Healthy Lucy :)

3. I get witchy with a capital B when I don’t get enough rest!

 

4. I’m surprised by the amount of CRAP on television and I get so mad that I let myself get pulled into watching!  Visualize this, me,shaking my head at myself in total disgust.

I have never been able to watch a Hoarding show beginning to end because it makes me want to vomit and it baffles me.  Read number 1.  I can’t even begin to understand hoarding, can’t wrap my brain around their disorder.  It makes no sense to me but then again I guess that is why it is a DISORDER. Oh, their homes make me sick.  I mean, PUKE!!! How can a human being live in such FILTH?   It just scares me when people say, “This ‘fill in the blank’ has meaning”  how does an ITEM have meaning? Listen,  If I can’t display it, I don’t keep it.  I think we have to be careful about wrapping up our attachments in THINGS.  You don’t lose a memory if the item is gone. I will always remember my kids childhoods.  I don’t need their toys,paintings and clothes.  I have kept a few items but they are displayed throughout the home. Not packed away. Anyhoo, let’s move on before I begin to get sick……

Have Fun Below! Play along or comment on anything that struck your fancy!! I am nosy though, do you ever get caught up in any of those crap shows?

You are right there are a lot of crappy shoes on TV which is why we don’t have watch a lot.

I’m fascinated by the hoarding show! I can’t believe that people can actually live like that. I had a friend that I would call a hoarder. She loved the thrift stores and would buy bags and bags of old clothes and junk every week just to throw them on top of the piles from the weeks before. It got to the point I wouldn’t go into her house – just plain disgusting.

Great answers, Lucy.

And much like you, I clean when I’m upset too. Also, I can’t handle those HOARDING shows either. I literally cringe.

i love corn on the cob, too.

my guilty tv pleasure is 19 Kids and Counting. Even though i don’t really share any of their beliefs or have anything in common with them, i enjoy the glimpse into their lives.

Come Say HI

Vicki September 14, 2012 at 2:33 pm

Had corn on the cob the last 2 nights. LOVE IT!!
I know what you mean about Hoarders. Don’t know how people can live like that.
Here’s Mine

I couldn’t even watch the clip you posted, knowing what it would be. My skin starts to crawl and I have an over-whelming need to get in the hottest water possible. I made the mistake of watching one time and this woman would not even flush her toilet because she couldn’t let “that” go! ew….I may have just thrown up in my mouth a bit. So very sorry for that.
But hey…yummy corn! love it too. and drenched in butter and salt is the only way to go!

LOL … would anyone admit to getting caught up in those crap shows? ;) Don’t look at me. There is very little “reality TV” that I watch … I mean, don’t we all have enough reality just by being?

Good answers! And there are some things worse than hot buttered and salted corn on the cob! Just come to the Texas State Fair where everything under the sun is fried and you’ll think that corn qualifies as “health food.”

I clean when I am upset too.. marc loves when I am upset…

Love corn even as a snack I always cook extra cob corn so I can cut it off later and eat like popcorn but it isn’t popped ;]
The hoarding show is too much I tried a few times to watch but when there is women who raised kids in that kind of environment it makes me sick the poor kids how embarrassing. Loved the photos you included with your answers, have a great weekend :]

4. I’m surprised by losing lottery and raffle tickets. Because, hope springs eternal lol!

I didn’t watch the clip. In disgust, pity, and amazement I have sometimes watched that show. Often, the mess is so bad I have to change the channel.

Clean when you’re upset? Come over to my house please :) .

1. I like to eat ice cream when I’m upset.
2. Snow pea pods are my favorite vegetable.
3. I get hyper/talk fast when I drink coffee.

I’m surprised by the things my 2 YO says and it makes me smile. I love/hate that show, Hoarders, too. It’s utterly disgusting yet I watch to motivate/remind myself never to get that way!
