So....I like to watch Lifetime movies and horrible things like that

Lifetime, the channel for women who hate men. I think that’s what it’s actually called. Anyway, I watch it. A lot. I don’t know why I do. I mean, their movies are pretty horrible actually. Someone is always crazy, or stalking someone, or sleeping with their friends husband or something like that. It’s not like the Hallmark channel where everyone is in love and happy. I don’t watch the Hallmark channel. Maybe there is something wrong with me.

My typical type of movie night consists of horror movies, superhero movies, and scifi. I’m not one to watch much in the line of chick flicks. Not that I’ve never watched any. I have. I’ve even enjoyed a couple, but normally movies like that can’t hold my interest or my lunch. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I’d watch a LMN movie over anything on Hallmark. But it’s still unsettling when a commercial comes on for their latest one and it has something to do with a woman who is betrayed and she will stop at nothing to get her revenge on everyone from the dude who pissed her off to the girl she went to grade school with that called her stupid and all I can think is, I have to set the DVR for that. And then I do.

My husband claims that they have the dumbest movies ever made. I can’t completely disagree with him since he’s actually right, but then he will sit down, start watching with me, and then suddenly announce he’s already seen it and proceed to tell me what happens. I usually stare at him, blinking, and he will just look back at me and shrug, saying there wasn’t anything on the other night. I guess I should mention that I work days and he works a swing shift so we don’t always see much of each other during the week. Sometimes after work if he can’t fall asleep right away, he will sit in the living room and watch TV before he goes to bed. When I turn on the TV in the morning as I'm getting ready for work it's always on the sports channel so I had always assumed he was watching something like that. Guess I was wrong. Anyway, after telling me the entire plot of the movie, including the ending, he will then go on about how stupid it was and how he can’t believe anyone would watch that crap. Yea.

I guess the worst part isn’t that I watch Lifetime though. Or that my husband secretly watches it as well. It’s that I watch it in addition to all the other horrible stuff I can't get enough of on the ID channel. You know, the channel that wants you to never trust anyone again. Not your spouse, family, friend, neighbor….nobody. I could watch the shows on that channel all day. As a matter of fact, I have. I don’t know why I can sit through a marathon of those, but something like The Notebook makes me want to scratch my eyes out and vomit until there is nothing left of me. I really can’t watch that stuff. I revert into a child. I’m either making gagging noises through the whole thing or I roll my eyes so much it gives me a headache. Needless to say, I’ve never been invited to another “girl’s movie night” after that. Which is fine. I’d rather sit at home and watch what I like while my husband pretends not to watch but can’t resist asking me what’s going on every time he comes back into the room. I’ll take that over any love story any day.
