Posted: 07.31.2002 If I can't have everything well then just give me a taste
Ok, there will be absolutely no more feeling sorry for myself this week! We went out for dinner at Taco Bell tonight because I'm juggling three designs at once and Todd is studying for an MCSE 2000 exam on Friday (he already has an MCSE but his company is forcing everyone to upgrade). Neither one of us wanted to cook so we took a break. On the way home we stopped by our P.O. Box because I knew something was on the way. Turns out, it was a big envelope stuffed with these from Toren for work on his site. (Toren did the translations on these.) Todd was positively giddy as I opened them all.
Then I opened an envelope from drugstore.com. I screamed so loud in the car, a woman walking to her car next to ours jumped. There was a check for over FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. That was commission on stuff I'd sold through my site. Now mind you, in over four years I've never made more than $125 a quarter -- and that was at Christmas. So to whoever bought 21 of these, I salute you (and your baby-soft legs)! You may remember that this past weekend, our TV bit it. We've been having that ages-old battle of the sexes disagreement of electronics lust vs. checkbook balance ever since. Which leads me to...were we responsible late-20-somethings tonight that decided to put that check right into savings? Hell no. I handed Todd the gift from the heavens above, and said, "Get whatever you want. This is your limit. I'm out." We drove to Circuit City, and 30 minutes later, back home again with a 27" flat-screen Sony Wega. We only owed the taxes on it. Granted, now we have to get a new entertainment center this weekend because the case on this is bigger than the case on our old set, and by a few centimeters we are screwed. But that's not important. He's happy -- so I'm happy. Here are a few pics of the TV (and the futon since mom yelled at me for not having any):
So there you have it. Now back to work... It was nice knowing ya'll!  Dude, that is so cool! :) I love the "I shall call it miniTV!" ;) That's great! :) ¤ ¤ credit: kristine | 07.31.02 at 11:08 PM | link- -this ¤ ¤ At last, we can watch more Skye during the party! -this ¤ ¤Ahhh! Excellent!! I love the TV and the futon! Hey, where will I sleep??? *pouts some more* ¤ ¤ credit: Christi | 07.31.02 at 11:16 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I think Todd was hoping on his lap Christi... ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 07.31.02 at 11:44 PM | link--this ¤ ¤LMAO!!!!! I guess I'll ALWAYS be the lap girl, huh??! ;) ¤ ¤ credit: Christi | 07.31.02 at 11:48 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Lucky bum! I haven't had any new manga in ages! And that's a sweet tv! Much better picture quality than mine... But mine kicks butt when playing video games... Or watching porn. 61"? You get beyond life size images in closeup's. To the point you can see freckles. But, the freckles are fuzzy. I want a Sony Vega :( ¤ ¤ credit: Veshka | 08.01.02 at 12:00 AM | link--this ¤ ¤ooooh BABY! that is one sexy TV! ¤ ¤ credit: ratty | 08.01.02 at 12:14 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Who the heck needs 21 waxing kits? That's just hysterical. Maybe they were having a girlie overnight bridal shower and wanted to do a little group leg waxing to bond? ;) ¤ ¤ credit: Christine | 08.01.02 at 12:19 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I'm not sure if they all went to the same person or not since the stats don't say when each was purchased -- but that's the most I've ever sold of one item (by about five times over) in one quarter! Very odd... ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 08.01.02 at 12:22 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Just posted this on Todd's site but wanted to post it here as well. Congrats on the new TV! We've had our's for a few years now and I still marvel at the picture quality. :) ¤ ¤ credit: geri | 08.01.02 at 12:39 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Mmmm, sounds like a beautiful TV :) Don't ya just love random money? That's the main reason I always file my taxes early - that way, when I get the money back, it's more of a surprise :) (I have yet to owe money fortunately - not looking forward to that changing.) ¤ ¤ credit: ste | 08.01.02 at 12:47 AM | link--this ¤ ¤We just bought the exact same TV. The little one it replaced went into the bedroom, but we don't ever watch it because the flat screen kicks its ass! ¤ ¤ credit: katie | 08.01.02 at 01:18 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I need to buy a new fridge, we can stick tall stuff in the door and it's pissing me off. Congrats about the $500!! Re: the futon, they flatten down really quickly if you sit on them every day. For a part time lounge/guest bed they are great, for a full time lounge, they are the spawn of the devil! I'm waiting for our tax return to come back so we can put ours in the garage for a giant doggie bed and buy a real lounge. ¤ ¤ credit: Jessica Parker | 08.01.02 at 01:35 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Kewl TV. Unexpected money is the best. ¤ ¤ credit: wKen | 08.01.02 at 02:34 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Wow, that tv is like an orgasm in a box! Heh, I said box! -this ¤ ¤Thank you for the pics. Loved the futon. Jealous of the TV. (We need a new one too, our sound is going.) CONGRATS> enjoy !! And glad you're doing so well on your site. :) ¤ ¤ credit: Robyn's Mama | 08.01.02 at 09:05 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Hey! That's our TV! Don't you just love it. The picture quality is unbeliveable, especially watching DVDs. Congratulations! You two deserve it after all your hard work! ¤ ¤ credit: Ashley | 08.01.02 at 09:46 AM | link--this ¤ ¤stupid question here, how many styrofoam pieces came with the tv? i recently moved to a new apt and was looking for the packing box and styrofoam for my wega and could only find 3 pieces. i could of swore there were 4-5 pieces. ¤ ¤ credit: jon | 08.01.02 at 11:30 AM | link--this ¤ ¤*peers in box* Looks like 4 pieces -- one for each corner. :-) ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 08.01.02 at 02:51 PM | link--this ¤ ¤
