Compromise

When it comes to t.v, we have come to sort of an understanding. We can watch football, food network, HGTV and humor without hesitation. It's like a "safe zone."

Obviously, he hates reality television..as I guess most guys do. When its a reality t.v night...I have prepared myself for endless jabs and jest from the peanut gallery. Romantic Comedies, well, I need not explain. Drama...I don't know, it just doesn't work for us, medical or law drama..all the same. His favorites, lets see...Myth Busters, Overhaulin, and any Darwin-Esq History channel special. I think I do pretty well...I really do like these shows, but in truth, when it comes to night time t.v, we really want to enjoy it together. I don't want him to be in pain, nor does he I. So as I said, football, food network, HGTV and humor.

Well, here in Colstrip we DO NOT have the FOOD NETWORK!!!! I know..i know. insanity. It took me a couple days to get over this. ( we also do not have FX, WE, Style, Comedy Central, CW or Oxygen....c'mon ladies!!!) So, I have really laid major pressure on humor. A fabulous common denominator.

Our favorite new "compromise" has been the ABC comedy Modern Family. If you haven't checked it out you must. SO FUNNY!! One of those laugh out loud...i feel slightly ridiculous this is so funny, OMG, that sounds like something that would happen to us, "the Office"-Esq real life humor. Great for the modern day husband and wife, husband and husband, wife and wife, mother/daughter, father/son...I think you get it. Something that we can all smile, chuckle and not have to banter over. I love that.
