Nov 2013

Been here (SB's house) since about 12:30 and it's been blissfully quiet. No tv, no music, no nothing until after dinner (they took us out -- BIL/SIL, no kids here yet) then BIL turned on Access Hollywood when we got home, then turned TV off.

Later they asked if we wanted to watch tv. If we watch anything on Monday night it's the raunchy CBS line up, so we said no.
