Christmas in July

Santa came early to Sonora. What did he leave under the big giant Oak Trees? Why it's brand spankin' new large screen HD LCD TVs! Why do I say TVs rather than TV? Well, you all know that if I get a brand spankin' new LCD TV then Justin has to have one too! Yes, he's spoiled. And yes I'm blaming it on you Mom! :-) And not only does he have to have one, he has to have a bigger one! Jeez! Boys and their toys. Mine is 42" and his is 47", which I think is just too large for our little apartments. (I believe he's beginning to think it is too, but he'll never admit it.)

I've been talking about purchasing a new TV for about three years now, but I just kept putting it off. I couldn't justify the expense to myself. I've decided that since the TV screen went completely black for two to three minutes one day about a month ago that it's time to quit delaying and make the investment. Coincidentally the TV in Justin and Chandel's bedroom broke a week or two ago.

Now, perhaps this is me thinking out loud still trying to justify it to myself but I can't help it. It's a lot of money and it meant getting rid of my beautiful TV armoir that I love. Don't worry it's not going too far. Chandel talked Justin into letting her have it! :-) So, with the cash from that it will supplement my TV budget.

Here's my new TV (I apologize that the photo is not good.):



I'm in a Spring Cleaning mode. Yes, I realize Spring ended a couple months ago, but I'm a busy girl and one should not rush into these things! I've re-done my scrap area, my living room and I took my bed apart and am going to sell it to my friend Gregory. I'm on the hunt for a new headboard. I want the one from Pottery Barn, but they are idiots if they think I'm going to pay a shipping service charge AND a shipping charge! That's pure highway robbery I tell ya'! It would add nearly a $100 to the cost of the headboard. Da-dicker-less! (Ridiculous in Quentin-ese.)
