The new tv...

So how did this monster get here? Had to be some freak of nature...

Or possibly that my husband had gone on and on and on about the burn in spot on our 'old' 57" huge floor tv. To me, it was a 'slight' yellow spot and I never noticed it that much. I'm the type that much like reading, I get into what it is I am watching (or reading) and I just don't see 'that spot' that he kept pointing out.

So on what is suppose to be "my day" (my birthday) turns out to be the day we get a new flat screen tv with a new souround sound. Husband and son (mainly son as he is going for the "I did it myself" on mounting) put the tv up on the wall over the fireplace. Looks good, sound is so-so as the souped up part isn't connected yet.

Now it is today (Monday) and I get a call at the office just before I leave telling me that the boy (who didn't get called for work) has hooked up the sound system. "Hmmmmmmmm" is all I can give it at this point. To be honest, he is as picky as his dad and it will be near perfect, no worries there.

Yup, picture on the wall is good and damn if the sound system doesn't make you look around the room as the THX sound hits. They tossed in several dvd's with different sound starts so I could hear them. I insisted on Twister and boy - I will admit - my skin was crawling (I'm in S. Texas and in San Antonio twisters while rare, can hit).

WOW!!!
