Yesterday Kelli and I were in the car headed to pick up SugarBaby from her annual dental cleaning when Exile’s “I Want to Kiss You All Over” came on the radio.
It’s one of Kelli’s favorite songs but since we were just pulling into the vet’s office we could only hear the first minute of it. Kelli mentioned how she wished she could hit the “pause” button and resume or replay it after picking up the dog.
It turns out the 2008 Cadillac CTS has just such a feature, at least according to the commercial where the guy says the Cadi makes him feel like Mohammed Ali. No, not old and shaky but the old Ali – quick and powerful.
Anyway, this is an example of how DVR has ruined us. I can hardly watch live TV any more and when I do I constantly rewind to show Kelli something or pause to “hit the ladies” (use the bathroom). Kelli doesn't even necessarily want things replayed for her.
I’ve been known to pause live TV and wash dishes or some other chore just so I can come back in 15 minutes and skip the commercials for the rest of the show.
Soon I’ll be impatient enough to want to pause real life. Just hit the pause button and get back to whatever situation as the mood suits me.
I’d fast forward through dentist appointments and use the “slow” button for when the alarm rings in the morning.
And perhaps this is why I haven’t posted a blog entry since the SuperBowl, I was on “pause.”
Now I’m back, babies.
But not in a creepy way.

Just think , though, you could rewind and prove it wasn't you who left the seat up!
well, that would be great except that undoubtedly I WAS the one who left it up.
I'm still without a DVR, but we will be getting one in May!! I'm all about the pause button and the rewind button. That feature would come in handy at your work too lol
