3 Reasons Why I Love Our DVR

Reason #1: When there is a holiday from school (like today), and I get to sleep in, Millie's inner alarm clock likes to go off an hour earlier than mine. At 7:45 in the morning, Millie comes in, jumps on my head and asks "What are we doing today?" It's awesome to be able to take her downstairs, turn on banked episodes of Word World or Curious George and crawl back into bed for an extra 30 minutes (or an hour and a half if you have a bunch of episodes saved...) of sleep.
Reason #2: So you can catch up on an entire season of Fringe because after the first episode you weren't so sure you'd like it, but after staying up to 1:00am watching 8 episodes, you find yourself wondering how a person/evil corporation can dip a metallic butterfly's wings in poisonous hallucinogens only excreted from toads. It keeps one awake at night.

Reason #3: So I can bank episodes of Leverage, Burn Notice, 24, and the Oprah show on sex for warm summer nights when nothing good is on.
