There are odd things around the house that trigger memories of Liz.

On the refrigerator, behind some mismatched magnets is a recipe with its accompanying ingredient/grocery list and a list of things to do around the house before a dinner party thrown long-ago (all in her hand writing).

One of the worst triggers is the goddamned DVR.

A source of constant disagreement for two people with widely different tastes in tv/movies. Reruns of the gilmore girls, episodes of the real world, the hills and more all on “series record” mode, all chosen by Liz.

I’m never going to watch any of this garbage (didn’t when she was here, won’t now that she’s gone). But, how do i delete the episodes she recorded but didn’t get to see?

She’d be pissed at me if i deleted her shows.

So the DVR continues to fill up and i feel too guilty to stop the shows from being recorded.

Another thing that really hits me is that i’m still getting her e-mails on her blackberry.

I’ve already mentioned the e-mails from babycenter.com. But barack obama and his supporters e-mail liz way more often than, babycenter.com, macy’s, bloomingdales,
neiman marcus and pottery barn combined. Just today michelle obama wrote liz asking her to help “register and mobilize voters.”

I know Liz would have been happy to work arm-in-arm with the future first lady, (obama was going to get her vote in nov.). But i’m not sure liz would be an effective mobilizer
right now.

Maybe i should send michelle an e-mail letting her know what’s goin’ on.
