Life in 3D

Occasionally things happen when you least expect them.

Earl’s been looking at TV’s for the past several weeks. Researching like crazy because it wasn’t exactly in the budget to buy one. But he found one he liked and we decided we were going to save up for it (because setting a little aside each month and then buying the TV was a lot better idea than deciding to be stretched thin for a month or two.)

As you can see, Earl’s want of a new TV wasn’t extremely trivial, out old TV just didn’t fit well. The entertainment center dwarfed it.



Sorry about the horrible picture...
this is from back when we moved in.
The 32 inch TV is dwarfed by the cases.



So we were going to buy a new TV in April or something.

And then, Earl’s dad calls him at work.  And he drops by work (Earl works every few Saturdays, it’s a rotational thing – and it’s OT) and tells Earl that he got a bonus… and wants to buy us a new TV.

We hadn’t mentioned that we were planning to buy a new TV to Earl’s dad… he happened to come to the same conclusion we did – 32 inches was too small for that space.

And he’d picked one out… one we hadn’t looked at because we didn’t look at Costco – because we’re complacent like that.

So on Saturday, we ended up with a brand stinkin’ new TV.

The 46in fits the space much better.
If you notice, we've hidden our addiction away behind doors. There are only 4 box sets left that can be seen!
(I just had to stifle an evil laugh.)

It is HUGE. At least, I think it’s huge. And here’s something I never thought I’d say – as I’m a smidge resistant to change – We now own a 3D TV…

So, what did you do this weekend?
