A New Addition to the Family

So I broke down and bought the new TV. Watching little tiny me try to get it out of the shopping cart (keep in mind those wheels) and into my car must have been pretty entertaining.

The more exciting show will be tonight as we hoist it up onto our TV mount and very technically attach (read: duct tape) it to the mount. No, it's not one of those fancy, shmancy flat panel mounts. It's the kind your gym had back in 2000.

I'm actually more confident in this TV staying on it than our late TV just due to the fact that it is lighter and has a smaller base. I still plan to secure it with straps, duct tape and bungee cords, if necessary.

Remember when you were a kid and the only thing you had to worry about was whether there was any Capri Sun left in the fridge?

Being told "Hey, Ken, did you know there's water coming from underneath the sink?" is always fun. I spent this weekend fixing the cold water inlet pipe underneath the kitchen sink, installing a ceiling fan in a guest room, and replacing two light switches with dimmer switches.

"Remember when you were a kid and the only thing you had to worry about was whether there was any Capri Sun left in the fridge?" ...yeah. Childhood doesn't adequately prepare you for life or home ownership. :P

Or that your mom might try to break your best friend's ass? ;)

Ken- Funny you should say that. We just had to replace our kitchen faucet because it was leaking (turns out it was leaking in three places!)
