We've had two televisions over the course of our 22-year marriage: the one that we "set up housekeeping" with, and one that we acquired through gift/trade. It was a smaller, old style TV, and this was wearing on every man in the house. Although the sons were assured that a larger TV was in the budget plans for the near future, they had given up hope of ever having a cool TV, and scoffed roundly. My Wonderful Husband found a New Year's deal, sixty-two years same as cash, I think, and he picked this one up on the way home from church (after much research - thank you Consumer Reports). This patient man has been waiting a looooonnnngggg time for his TV upgrade!
It's only been on the wall a couple of days, and it's fun to watch all the men quietly adore the new TV. The expressions on their faces every time they come into the living room and see it there - wonder and head-shaking amazement. And when it is turned on, especially to football, pure bliss!
"What a great picture!"
"Look at that definition!"
"Wow!"
LOL. Such a GUY thing. Funny!
ReplyDeleteBut I bet that Colin Firth would look lovely on that screen. :D
