An unnecessarily large television: I haz it.

11:24 AM | Posted by Lauren
My husband Jacob and I love gadgets. We love anything shiny that lights up and if it makes a noise that's even better. If it wasn't for our lack of extra income we would be ass-deep in electronics.
When Jacob and I were both working we were so careless with our money but it was acceptable since we had all of this disposable income. It was SWEET. One day Jacob and I were talking about buying a new TV and the next day he stops by Best Buy on his way home from work and buys one. Without even blinking an eye he bought me a verrrrrrrry nice laptop for Christmas three years ago and a few months later built the ultimate gaming computer for himself.
Even though I didn't cook very often I still had a lot of kitchen gadgets and the more singular its function the more I had to have it.
Now? We have to discuss every. single. fucking. purchase. We have been talking about buying a Nintendo Wii for a few months and after watching some eBay auctions we still didn't take the plunge. I told Jacob that if we sold the Xbox360 and the games we could afford a Wii but then we saw demos for Gears of War 3 and decided to keep the Xbox a little longer.
Holy shit. We are such nerds.
ANYWAY. I can't remember what I was doing at the time but Jacob was at home by himself and instead of watching porn like a normal person he orders a new television and a bluray player.
Now I know that I can never leave him alone. Or can I?

He also decided to go with a wall mount instead of one of the table-top flat screen TV stands because, well, TODDLERS.

I can't be mad at him. Why? Because I watch it ALL THE TIME and I'm kind of in love. With a television. Even non-HD stuff looks different. It's almost like the cast of Friends is right in my living room ignoring me.  It's pretty amazing.

Disclosure: See that link up there? Yeah, I got paid for that.

We just got a decent size TV too, but that's only cause the MIL bought it for us. We can't spend money on jack these days. Even when I was hauling in $50K at my job last year we STILL never bought anything for ourselves. And now that I'm living on student loan money, yeah... buying a stick of gum becomes a family finance decision.

But damn, I am glad to have me a MIL with a sweet-ass pension. :)
