BUT, yesterday I saw that Target was having a Black Friday sale. Starting at midnight Pacific time. And the featured item?
Philips 47" Class 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
A tv is something I have been frugal about since the late 1990s, when I acquired my current tv (for free). But ever since my lover moved in, all I've heard about is how we NEED a new tv. And, I have to admit, with the HD conversion, we miss dialogue and part of the picture. No foolin'. Modern tv was not made to watch on a 27" square box.
So, I set my alarm for 1:50am, which proved far too early since all I had to do was ask B for his iPhone and get to target.com. So, I waited another 8 1/2 minutes and then hit the "Buy Now" button. I don't know why the whole process took 45 minutes, but it did. I chalk it up to late-night confusion and my chubby fingers having difficulties navigating the website. So, I just confirmed I did buy the tv - for $699. Quite a bargain, no? But now we have to update our Directv package and buy a tv stand. Or do we? *calculating possible savings*

OMG! You're going to be SO happy! Or at least B will be. I'm very proud of you.
P.S. Stop calling him your lover!
M and I have been having this debate for some time. In my opinion, we have a perfectly good, entirely functional tv right now, which I bought from a friend's parents for $100, barely used, 5 years ago. Why spend money on a new one? Needless to say, the boy views things differently.
OMG, Carrie, I feel your pain--there was no let-up from BEFORE he moved in to *current*. It won't stop until the tv is in its place and fully functional.
Let's face it. Even when the tv arrives, there will be no let up. Then you'll need a Blu-ray player, iPad, and Internet!
This is what happens when you've neglected technology as long as you have. This is your bed. You know what to do.
But I'm FINE laying in it! It's YKW who has a problem with it!
