Rob and I have no pride. We are like dogs waiting for food to drop. And a nice piece of meat just dropped. Thanks to the generosity of my sister Emily and her hubby Jayson we are the proud owners of a decent sized T.V. that even has speakers. They bought an uber-fancy system and gave us their not so shabby old system. We have had the same little T.V. for ten years. We bought it with wedding money. Anyway, to go with the new TV we went to Ikea and bought an entertainment center and bookshelves. We moved the upstairs couch and chair (hand-me-downs of course...if you are interested in their provenance they started with Grandma Green--Aunt Colette's mom-- then cousin Megan then sister Emily and now us) downstairs, and now our family room actually feels like a family room, rather than a yard sale collection of crap. Our new sofa for our living room is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday and suddenly we will be the owners of first-hand furniture!!! I may have to buy a gun to gaurd the couch from filthy children and evil-doers that want to destroy my new couch.
We also may soon be owners of my parents iMac as well. I jokingly planted seeds in my Dad's mind a month ago when I told him he should by a new Mac and give us their old one. He just well may do that, and I was only teasing. I'm a well trained dog, I guess.
Now let's see what else do we need? A new dishwasher? Yup...anyone needing a new one? We take hand-me-downs! Did I mention we have no pride?
