Soccer doesn't bother me much, I guess because my husband doesn't really acknowledge it as a sport. We're a one-TV household, too, so his sports watching has decreased dramatically since we moved in together. Sometimes I'll do him a favor and play on the computer at night so he can watch a baseball game, but the tap-dancing power drilling antic sounds like way more fun! I'll have to give that a shot next time...I've been dying to try out that new power drill he just got for Father's Day. :-) Good luck finding your favorite distraction!!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504919719560440470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-65660700981390400892014-06-12T20:29:36.160-04:002014-06-12T20:29:36.160-04:00I'm with you on the no-TV-in-the-bedroom thing...I'm with you on the no-TV-in-the-bedroom thing, which is why Eric has a TV in his "man cave." It is helpful for situations like this, although somehow he keeps finagling the living room TV for - get ready for it - RACING. Legit, redneck, go around in a circle racing. And the weird thing is he was never really into it before, but now all of the sudden he has to watch every single race and then call his friends to discuss the results. It's insanity! <br /><br />I say you need some books, or a new TV series for the laptop. When he's in "race mode" I usually call my mom or sister and get out of the house. The nice thing is that he's less likely to notice if I come home laden down with shopping bags when he's totally preoccupied with whatever lame race he happens to be watching.

I totally agree about starting the Harry Potter series, you will get too sucked into to realize there's a world around you! 2. Another idea is to bet Matt which team you think will win each game and if you get it right, then he has to buy you something from Ulta? :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947367832523658269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-85171799498149722312014-06-11T10:47:36.962-04:002014-06-11T10:47:36.962-04:00What you need to do is find a new t.v. series on N...What you need to do is find a new t.v. series on Netflix to watch on the lap top, and you can go with 1 of 2 approaches: 1) choose one he wouldn't want to watch anyway and go to town, or 2) choose one he WOULD want to watch and either make him jealous, perhaps so jealous that he will ignore soccer and join you.

May I recommend the teal headset and for book series, off the top of my head: The Rick Riordan series, The Fallen series or...Harry Potter? Yes! Even if you were iffy on the movies, you will love falling into those books. Or, if you are looking for an older series to lose yourself in, I totally recommend the Game of Thrones series.

I don't mind because I get a good meal and we don't stick around for too long. Maybe convince Matt that the World Cup is better enjoyed with some wings and a beer? <br /><br />And can I say that golf, tennis and NASCAR are waaaaaaaaaaaaay more boring that soccer? At least in soccer you get that random collision where both players come away with a broken nose.

It's long enough to keep you distracted for awhile but not as much of a commitment as HP would be. I read it last summer, and it was ah.mazing. It's the kind of book that is so engrossing that you don't want to be around anyone else anyway. Plus it takes place in IL, so...<br /><br />If that fails, maybe this would be a perfect time for you to do a vlog? A makeup tutorial? Gardening tips? Pestering Matt while he tries to watch soccer?
