Teena in Toronto

I'm one of the cool kids!

Friday, June 03, 2011

When Gord and I got married nine years ago, we both had big old TVs which we'd bought way before we even knew each other.

We put one in the living room ...

And we put one in the spare room ...

We said we'd buy a cooler flat screen TVs when one of these died.

I'd drooled over the flat screen TVs at The Source at the Dufferin Mall many many times.

Our old TVs are not going to die ... I couldn't wait any longer!

Look what I bought this afternoon ...

A 46 inch flat screen TV!

Whooohoo!

The TV that was in our living room is now in our bedroom.

I didn't tell Gord what I'd done. My Facebook status said, "I finally did it. Yep, I'm one of the cool kids."

When Gord came home, he kept asking me what I'd done and I kept telling him I'd tell him later.

He was home for about an hour before he realized we now had a new TV! Ha!

I was trying to figure out what your status meant too, the only thing I could think of, you already have.

That's funny about Gord. LOL!

Yep, that is pretty funny about Gord. It was right there and he kept asking what was new. So sweet. Enjoy your new TV. Look at all the extra room you have now!

You're such a tease! :) You know if I'd been there,...I'd have spilled those beans before he made it across the threshold.

Am jealous, it looks incredible.

That's why I didn't tell you, Liz :)
