TV Update

Fuck me running... what an ordeal this weekend. Since the TV crapped out last week, I have been holed up in my bedroom watching the flat screen (and HDTV) in there. We did not have the kids this weekend and on Friday, I was sooo sick that all I wanted to do was lay in bed after work. On Saturday, I went to one of the boys' room and watched TV until hubby got out of bed and then we showered and went to eat with another couple and then decided to play poker. BTW... I totally spanked my husband with a straight flush! yeah! Anyway.... while we were waiting on the guys to show up for the game, hubby decided he and a friend would carry the big screen out to the garage until we can find someone to dump it on or call the city to dispose of it for us. It came with a stand that sits low to the ground and we left that so we would have something to sit one of the other TV's on until we can decide what to buy. Let me just go ahead and say.... we totally look like white trash now. Let's all say it together... GHETTO!!!!!!! As you can see from the picture... it looks awful. We did not watch TV in the living room on Sunday as we got up and went to a basketball game, grabbed something to eat and rented a couple of movies. On the way home, I got sick in the car and came home and went straight to bed (again). Hubby came up after a little while and we watched the movies in bed the rest of the evening. This evening, I was bound and determined to suck it up and get out of the bedroom.

Before anyone (this means you, Efen) laughs about the black marks on the TV screen, (naturally, I would have to take a picture when the news is on and some crackhead just got arrested for drugs) I had to do something with his face 'cause I can't do that whole "block the face with a fuzzy image thingy" and I am too lazy to go back and take another picture, so just have your laughs.
Tonight after J left for work, I did my little chores and retreated to my throne and just got soooo depressed after having to actually break down and watch TV in here. This TV was my pre-marital one that was in my living room and was actually satisfied with it until I moved in with hubby. But, after you spend a year watching a 46" TV with HDTV... it's hard to go back to GTV (Ghetto TV)! It kinda sucks, too cause I had to go back into the TiVo and delete all of the shows I had set to record from HDTV back to GTV. I think the stand is what's killing me the most. It looks so Beverly Hillbillies. That thing took up that whole corner! (That's Kasey's toys to the left side of the screen.)

Not sure when we will actually get out and look for a new TV, so I guess that I had better get used to it, huh? To my surprise, hubby isn't too excited about looking for a new one. He'll probably wait until I go out of town in the next couple of weeks for business (Fuckin' Lexington) and go get one. I don't care. I'm not gonna fight him on it cause I will not be able to take this long. Wait a minute.... guys.... that's his plan, isn't it? He is gonna give me enough rope to choke myself with it, then I'm gonna snap and tell him to "just go buy one" and he's going to go out and get the TV he REALLY wants and I'm gonna end up with a $5000 TV, huh? Geeesh... maybe I should make it my top priority NOW!
