After thinking about, debating, researching, and waiting a couple of years, we finally decided to take the high-def plunge and get an HDTV. Yep, and not a reasonably-sized one that would fit on a kitchen countertop, either – a big-screen one that two poor delivery people will have to haul up to our third-floor apartment. After years of spending our tax refund on practical things like paying off cars, this year (while we still only have two mouths to feed and still have two incomes) we’re “pre-spending” the refund on something fun that we’ve wanted for a long time. So our CPA had better come up with some cash! We got a fantastic deal on a very highly rated TV on Amazon, and it should arrive in the next couple of weeks. Come over and party with us once we get it set up!

We had CARES poker night tonight. Although only one resident came, we had a good time, and I now have bragging rights as the reigning Landings at La Villita Poker Champion. That and $5 might barely buy me a venti cappuccino at Starbucks, but I’ll enjoy it until our next poker night if we do it again. Tomorrow morning is our popular Pancake Breakfast, and my mom is coming to help b/c she rocks! Then we’re going to meet Lacy Rexroad IV, who entered this world Friday morning. Then after Jenny attends Baby Andrews’s baby shower, we plan to take a bunch of garage sale stuff down to Jenny’s parents’ house. Our garage will soon be empty and off our monthly invoice!
