It's no secret that I enjoy watching T.V. in my "down time".
down' time, n. 1.a time when you are are the only one home and don't feel like dusting the furniture, preparing a meal (for others), or folding laundry, ie. men's underwear with bacon strips in the crotch.
I especially love stories of human triumph, whether it be over losing 200 pounds or losing 200 extra stray cats. My husband says watching all that T.V. is making me dumb but I ask you, dear bloggy-friends, how is NASCAR and "The Deadliest Catch" making him any smarter?
All of the preceding information was the inspiration to a new game I thought of to play with my husband. It went like this:
Me (to husband): Okay, you have to pick ONE. Would you rather I be morbidly obese, a hoarder, or a drug addict?
Husband: Well, if you were really fat you couldn't clean the house.
(To be fair, I was thinking of a regular obese person and he was thinking of one of those one-ton people stuck lying naked on a king-sized mattress all day with no sheets, yelling at their mothers to bring them a bucket of chicken and give them a sponge bath. I am not making fun. I saw that on the Discovery channel.)
Me: I wouldn't be that fat. I could still walk and do things.
Husband: What drug would you do if you were a drug addict? Smoke pot?
Me: Smoke pot? That is stupid. No, I would be . . . a meth addict.
Husband: Okay, a drug addict. Then I would kick you out.
His reasoning being that if he kicked me out of the house for being a hoarder or morbidly obese he would look like an asshole.
Me: So it's all about you? You would kick me out? But it's still ME!
I don't remember what he said after that. The "Biggest Loser" was starting.

Ohhh, this is such a good question. And by the way, my hubs would answer the same exact way.
Hmmm. I would definitely rule out obese. And that image of someone yelling for their mom to give them a sponge bath cracked me the freak up.
And I really hate mess. I really, really do. But I'm scared to death of drugs and I like my teeth, you know, to stay in my mouth.
Crap, I'd have to say hoarder. Even though it's killing me.
Great game. I'm going to be asking my friends this one.
This was really hilarious! All of it. My fave post I've read from you. If I haven't commented you before (can't remember), I'm a tweep friend of Ally's.
Haha! I'd want to be a meth addict because I could use the weight loss ;)
I thinking if you were a meth addict you would be super skinny anyway so problem solved.... really... i saw it on Discovery Channel ;-)
btw.... I gave you an award:

Funny stuff! I tried to watch Hoarders and just couldn't stomach it. I think it's because I'm the opposite. Not a clean freak, but rather the fact that I throw everything out too soon. I hate clutter. Oh my stuff can have dust.....I just can't stand lots of stuff.
Not interesting enough for a reality show huh? Dang
Hoarder. Definitely. Think of all the cool forts you could make out of old newspapers and banana peels. And I would hide chocolate all over so I would run across it while digging for my 70s clogs and spandex shorts. They will be back in style soon.
I'm with CHristina. I would totally go for the meth b/c then I'd be super skinny. LMAO!
omg, you are totally cracking me up here! I kinda have the hoarder thing in me for sentimental stuff. I have way too much of my kids' crap still left with me.
Love watching Hoarders! That conversations sounds just like me and my husband.
Oh, TV?
Downtime?
How do you do it?
How does everyone do it but me?
Oh, yeah... I have an internet addiction.
