Irish Woman is watching one of those “We polish that gilded turd you’re living in, and you buy a palace” home improvement shows. The wife in the family has made life a living hell for her husband, the remodeler, the real estate person, her children, the dog, and the guy who brings latte’s to the set every morning. She especially has a problem going through her belongings to put them into storage/landfill so that the home can be renovated and shown.
Irish Woman – This woman needs to be on an episode of Hoarders.
Me – This woman needs to be on Prozac.
Seriously, I hate these programs. They always give Irish Woman bright ideas about things that she would like to have done to the house (read “She wants me to do to the house”), and the people who participate in them tend to the whiningest examples of twits I’ve ever seen. If watching them didn’t make Irish Woman happy, I’d block the channels.

/ January 15, 2014I watch these shows to secretly feel better about myself. Like if I’m ever having a really bad day? I turn on Maury. Feeling bad about acting like a jerk to someone? I turn on Bridezillas. Feeling frumpy and not a good housewife? I turn on Hoarders. It’s my prozac!

/ January 16, 2014I watch them on mute, because I enjoy seeing the homes shown and the renovations done, but can’t stand the twits they get on them.

/ January 16, 2014It has one positive aspect: the television in the dentist’s office above the chair couldn’t be turned off, but the dental assistant looked mightily relieved when I agreed that it would be a far more awesome channel than CNN’s Obamacare cheerleading special.
We both then proceeded to ignore the show, and the blood pressure in the room dropped drastically. I also noticed it stayed on the home rehab channel when I left.
