new TV

Tuesday, December 05, 2006

Josh's parents are getting us a new TV for Christmas. (Ours is about ready to bite the dust.) Actually they're giving us money for a new TV. His mom had been looking at them and felt completely overwhelmed by all the choices. Believe me, I understand. Josh picked us out a TV that was $1 less than the amount they were giving us. And it fit almost exactly in our entertainment center.

Cindy told us that if we get it before Christmas that they would give us the money before Christmas. Of course, that meant that Josh wanted to get it last night! We went to Best Buy and started looking at all of the televisions. We found the one we had picked out. Instead of just getting that we started looking at the nicer ones. After waiting for 15 minutes for someone to help us, we were just ready to get out of there. I finally tracked down someone. That darn blue shirt swayed us towards the more expensive one, dangit.

Josh and I got it home, hooked it up and well, weren't that impressed. I mean for another hundred dollars (and that's after a big discount) it should be a lot better than the initial TV we picked out.

Very frustrating. We were both kind of mad at ourselves for not going with the one we picked out. Josh packed it all back up in the box and he's going to exchange it this evening.
