I would like to thank our TV for crapping out

In the coming spring, after we put in new carpeting in the family room we were going to get the big flat screen, high definition TV that Dave wanted to get LAST year. But luck was on his side when our current TV started crapping out a few weeks ago. (It's still under investigation whether he fiddled with something I don't know about!)

It all happened pretty fast; for a few days the TV picture would freak out and have some white lines going through it and then just fix itself after a few seconds. Then it started becoming a black screen with a white line across the middle which we figured out after a few stomps on the floor the picture would go back to normal. But before we knew it the stomps weren't working anymore! Even I was frustrated at this point, it was interfering with my shows!!


And so began the start of our family room renovations. We were planning on doing them before Christmas anyway, the passing of the TV just sped things up. And after a few incredibly busy/stressful weeks at work for Dave I'm glad he can come home and watch his sports in HD (as long as one of my 5 shows isn't on!)

So we've been busy trying to figure out re-decorating and the rooms were finally ready to be unveiled this weekend! Well minus the blu-ray DVD player and wireless surround sound that Dave wants! Those are definitely going to have to wait another year or two! I want my new siding first!
