You know the saying "go big or go home"? Well, I did just that..........my t.v. arrived and it's HUGE!
I had no idea. I guess, in hindsight, I should have gone to the store and looked at a 50" t.v. instead of listening to the internet calculations. I don't even need my glasses to watch this screen!
There is no room for anything on the dresser except I was able to slip the DVD player behind it. The VCR has no room. Yes, I still have an old VCR and video tapes. It goes so well with my antiques too, don't you think? Not! These things are ugly! I think eventually I will have it hung on the wall in the family room. These things have little plastic legs and it would take nothing to knock it over....a little earthquake, which we have occasionally, would probably do it! When I opened the box it said it takes 2 people to lift it.....great! They didn't tell me that when I bought it. I managed though....I'm pretty strong from lifting all my life and I still load my own salt n my water softener so it wasn't bad. I laid it on my bed to install the legs and they even included a screwdriver. It took me all afternoon to install it and get things hooked up but it works great and has a great picture. It is nice to not have to wear my glasses for distance as it is easier to do my needlework and not have to look over my glasses at the screen. I need glasses for distance but not close up. I have no idea how you could ever make these televisions look good in my home. Maybe that's why everyone is going modern again? I'm actually eclectic in my decorating but this monstrosity is an eyesore. Color would help a lot...but they're all black...what about yellow or red? Or white? Or decorative artwork you could have on the screen when you're not using it? Come on people (the people that design these).....use your imagination and creativity. I would definitely pay extra for a t.v. like that!

I went to Wally World yesterday and was so exhausted I didn't even eat supper and went to sleep before it was dark out! I spent a lot of time roaming the aisles looking for a few things that I knew they probably didn't have and I finally asked a clerk. I was out of a lot of staples too which took more time and effort. Now I know why all these people drive around in those carts....I thought they were disabled but I think they just don't want to end up like a dishrag when they get home! LOL! I got it all unloaded and put away and then I crashed.

I made a nice breakfast this morning though and part of the healthy breakfasts I researched this past week. This one is Mediterranean Scramble and the recipe is here
I'll be making it again!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm off to do some ironing, update Ravelry, YOP, and try and finish some of my YOP goals for tomorrow! Yikes! Plus, I need to catch up with my blog friends and podcasts. This week has been a douzy, but in a good way! It's beautiful here and I need to get outside also! Have a great day!
Happy Trails!!!
