Television Tales
My s.o. said, "let's take a ride" today and I asked, "are we going to the mall?" I had visions of Victoria's Secret dancing in my head as we headed south toward Kennesaw. But, when we reached the exit to the mall, he turned right instead of left toward the mall. I said, "are we going to a movie?" He just kept driving. He then turned in toward hhgregg and said, "let's look at new televisions."
We looked at High-Definitions -- flat screens and plasmas -- and big screens. After about forty minutes of working with a guy, we finally picked out a television and stand . . . only to be told by the guy that they had NONE of the televisions on the floor in stock. Whatever we purchased would have to be ordered and delivered later in the week.
Oh, no, no, NO! Not for instant-gratification people like my s.o. and I!
So, we said "thanks, but no thanks," and went right across the street to Best Buy. A bigger, better television (52" screen DLP/High Definition) a better deal, a great matching stand, plus two free $150 gift cards (automatically received at the point of purchase). We immediately used the gift cards to purchase a $150.00 television surge protector and I upgraded to Paint Shop Pro 9 for $129.99. We moved our current big screen upstairs to the master bedroom, and moved that television into the main guest bedroom. I'll be watching television in bed and be able to see everything on a 50" screen instead of the 27" we had in there.
For someone who was planning on cutting down on television time . . . well, . . . maybe later! Right now -- I'm enjoying this great new television!
