8/25/10 - Low Key Wednesday

Today was just a pretty low key day for all of us. Amelia and I spent the day around the house. She was VERY good today, not really fussy at all (thank the lord!). We went on another nice long walk this morning, she took a nice long nap. It was great. While she napped, I quickly cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen and grabbed some lunch. I headed downstairs to spent some quality time with the DVR...only to find out the stupid TV wasn't working...the lamp in the TV blew out...again...for the 3rd time in 6 years. UGH...I hate that TV.

When we finally broke down and decided it was time to get a "big" TV, LCD TV's were the new big thing. But, the guy at Best Buy introduced up to this brand new technology that was on the rise..DLP TV's. We though, wow, let's be super cool and jump on this band wagon right away. Of course, the technology never ended up taking off, and the TV's are basically obsolete. Why you might ask? Oh, maybe because they are CRAP! The TV's are powered by one lamp (vs. many lamps)...and this will be the third time we've replaced ours. Luckily the other two times the TV was under warranty. Also, because the technology never took off, the lamps are not sold in every day stores, and are super expensive. Directly from Toshiba, they are over $200.00! I was able to find one online for about half the price, but we haven't decided where we're going to order it from. STUPID TV!

So, it was back upstairs for me. I decided it was a good reason to just take a nap instead, so I did! Amelia later woke up, Christian and Olivia got home, and we did the usual...play a bit, have some dinner and just hang out. Just another day at our house!
