Yeah, it’s been busy at work, I got family stuff going on, I’ve really stepped up my marathon training (that’s a story for another time) blah, blah, blah…all that said you can completely blame THIS for my disappearance recently:

Do you hear that…the symphony of horns blaring from the heavens?  I do!  I do every time I go downstairs and turn this baby on.

Samsung LED 6000 Series Smart TV!

I have been waiting for soooooo long for a new TV.  The 55″ projection Sony we’ve had for the last 10 years is still in really great shape so while I have looked and looked, I just haven’t been able to pull the trigger.

Well two Sundays ago, flippin’ through the Sunday paper, I came across the Best Buy circular.  There I found this brand new model for a ridiculous price.  I went online to find more information but it was so new, it wasn’t even on their site yet.  I went to Samsung’s site and it was the same thing  there.  I was starting to wonder if it was just too good to be true. It wasn’t until Better Half essentially told me to suck it up and go by the freakin’ thing that I found the strength of conviction to finally take the plunge.

It is SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!  The picture, incredible! 

I’m still rockin’ an old DVD player but that didn’t matter.  Popped in Star Wars and saw light and color that I have NEVER seen before. 

Oh, and then I discovered streaming video through Netflix!

And THEN I finally got a hold of Uverse so I could get the HD package added to our bundle.

So now, all I want to do when I get home and get Lil’ Baird in bed is watch my precious.  I’ve fallen asleep on my couch five night straight now…

Sorry! I’ll get my act together.
