I did it….I made a big purchase without Sheena’s knowledge! This is like the only time i could have done this! I probably got a once in every 5 year chance to do this.
What happened? What did I do? What purchase did I make?
I got 3 things….
A New Samsung Flat Panel TV
A New Onkyo Home Theater System
and Digital HD Cable
Did she slap me? sock me? kiss me? jump in my arms? leave me?
She stood there in shock and said “Oh my!” I think was in shock because I made the purchase without telling her more than anything. She was pretty cool about it overall. She will fall in love with it tomorrow probably. Why tomorrow? She is off tomorrow and she will have time to enjoy/play/pause/record with it all tomorrow. We actually got to pause a show last night! What a huge deal for us! With 2 girls, distractions are just as common as Oklahoma Weather changing (fyi it was 70 yesterday, today 20 with windchill and possible snow).
I was tired of having the digital converter box….everytime someone walked by the tv it cut out, scattered, and went black. Frustrating to say the least. So now that we have cable i think I will love it more than ever! I am tired of scheduling around certain tv shows. There are times when a select few of the shows come on right when the girls go to bed, or when someone calls that i need and want to talk to. Now we can pause/record and not miss a thing! Fun stuff!
As a side note to the bonus to Cox cable….When the guy was out he activated and boosted all of our cable outlets to where we can have our Internet hooked up in any room! In the past our signal was weak and could only put the modem in our bedroom. So that was a big blessing to do that for us for free!
Another bonus….On the Onkyo receiver there is an output to where you can set up a second set of speakers somewhere in the house and use the reciever to play tv/dvd/TUNER to where ever….. the point? We can now run speakers outside in the backyard and have music while we garden/grill/socialize/swim/play/mow whatever we want! Sweet beans!
Good stuff….As you can see Christmas came early this year!
