Hubby and I ventured out into the vast madness of Christmas shoppers on Saturday. Hubby and I had decided that we would buy ‘our gifts’ for each other, together. I don’t need very much to make me happy, and certainly a lot of gifts don’t tell me how much I am loved, but I figured I would go to keep Hubby from doing something truly silly, like buying me a new set of pots and pans or something.
We went to Sam’s Club first and started looking at their TV’s. We’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while and today we thought that we would get a TV.
We looked and there it was! Our new TV. We didn’t want to get it….but we couldn’t not get it. We did, in fact, go to two other stores before returning and buying our ‘dream‘ TV.
As we stood in line, several men started talking to Hubby about the TV. I could see he was enjoying talking about our new purchase.
Every man in Sam’s Club wanted that set and it made me happy that this was what we chose to give each other as ‘our gifts‘ for the next three years! LOL!
Did we have our station wagon with us? Nope, the sedan! So we put our new TV in the trunk, tied it down and then I badgered Hubby all the way home to drive safely, so we didn’t leave the new TV on the highway!
We got it home and switched out the TV’s and Hubby worked setting the stand up for this TV. We have a lazy susan on our TV stand and he had to drill new holes for it.
Eventually we set it up and turned it on! We both stopped breathing for a few moments! It was that beautiful!
I still need to figure out how to connect my DVD player to the TV, but the VHS player and everything else is working, and Hubby is one happy man, and frankly, I am one happy woman!
The TV is fantastic!
I haven’t been this excited about a TV since my grandfather bought my parents their first color TV back in 1968! Oh, my goodness! Pure joy and excitement!
Congrats on the new tv set, isn’t that fun! now you both got what your truly wanted for Xmas!! this post title will get you many clicks, I am sure 😉
That’s what I wanted for Christmas, but my hubby says our set is fine and we’ll wait a bit and get the next lower priced new one in a year or two. Drat! I’m happy for you, enjoy your new TV and think of me. Love YOU, Mel
Aren’t new TV’s wonderful? I turn ours on just to see the pretty colors!
Congrats on the new t.v. I know you will enjoy it. I sure enjoy mine. I would’ve done better to buy it when they weren’t so new on the scene. I paid 1880.00 for mine back when they first came out and now you can get the same t.v. for about 650.00. Hopefully I have learned my lesson. Enjoy your Christmas present.
We just bought a new TV last week too. It´s our Christmas present too. I guess great minds think alike. 🙂
A new TV is great, especially now with the flat screen and the image is so good. We bought a new one 1 1/2 years ago, just because our old one became to old fashioned. It still works very nice so we put it in the guest room.
Congratulations, that was a great idea ! I already know without knowing that I will certainly get CATS ! lol !
