Televisions are not cheap...

Our weekend off turned out to be rather uneventful but not cheap. On friday when I was home and Ed was at work (for a change), the tv was on and I was busy on the laptop and next thing I know I hear a sizzling noise (thought it was Gizmo getting into something) turns out I later notice the tv is off. So I went over to the television to notice the scent of something burning, Gizmo noticed too. Tried to turn it on and no such luck. So when Ed called on his way home from work I had to break the news to him that the tv was no longer working. Therefore this weekend we were in the market for a new television. I had to work friday night and Ed went to the Brewers game, then saturday Ed had a bachelor party for friend Nick from work, which left the television shopping for today.

So this morning, we looked through the sunday ads, after researching on the internet, and analyzing our funds to decide what we could afford and what we were looking for in a television. The excursion was not a short one today. We ended up with a 42 inch Westinghouse LCD Widescreen with HDTV. So by the time we picked it out, got it in the truck, and got it home. It was time to take our cable box and head back the same direction but further to Time Warner Cable to exchange our cable box for HD capabilities. Needless to say we did not make it home before the Brewers game started, which was Ed's goal, but tonight it isn't as quiet as it has been without a tv the last two days.

Otherwise all is well here in the Smith household. Our molding still sits un-stained, maybe tomorrow? No big plans this week, work and school. And back to work next weekend.
