so last night the love of my life (aka gorgeous) came over and i cooked dinner. yes, folks, i cook. i have never understood why people ask me that. you ... cook? do i look like i malnourished?
but i digress ...
so, he's over and we have just a few hours to spend together because he has to get up at o'dark-thirty (as he calls it) for a trip tomorrow. but he wants to watch the mavericks (basketball) and i really want to watch lost. if you haven't discovered that show, it's really good. it comes on abc (i think) at 7 cst on wednesdays (i'm sure).
but i digress ... again ...
so, we're sitting there and i'm stuck watching the mavs. not that i don't like them. what girl wouldn't mind watching a couple of athletic men with great arms and legs run up and down a court sweating and glistening? ... oh wait, my point ...
i really wanted to watch lost but couldn't (even though i have another tv in my home) because i felt obligated for us to spend time "together" while we could before he goes out on this long trip.
is this what married life will be like? is this the beginning of the end of my autonomy? is this the beginning of a long life of sacrifices and compromise? oh goodness, nobody told me about this part!
did anyone record lost? (i'm really not a tv junkie. i only have a couple of hours a week i actually have time to watch. all the other time is spent working, studying, going to class, spending time with the folks, sleeping, etc. — you get the point.)

Isn't Lost on tonight (Saturday) too?
And I think when you are married, the "we have to spend all free time together" will die down, b/c it will lose it's newness. But what do I know. ;-)

There will be a lot of sacrifices and compromises ahead of you all as you continue your journey through life together. Television will not be one of them. Once you get married you will be spending more time together and you will not feel obligated to stay in the room and watch the game. You will probably not even give it a second thought. The sacrifices that you make will be larger and the compromises you make will be greater. This is a part of a relationship that takes a lot of thought and hard work. It is all worth it when you are with someone that you are willing to make sacrifices and compromises for.
