The Beast1
Kyle has been flirting with the idea of getting a new TV for awhile now. He keeps trying to think of excuses as to why we should get a new one. However, it’s pretty clear that there is no logical reason to get a new TV when you already have one that functions perfectly well. Nevertheless, he kept going back and forth about it. He has spent hours on end researching different models, and has become pretty overwhelmed with all of the options out there. My advice to him was just to go for it. It was clear that he really wanted one, and he deserves to splurge every once in awhile. Plus, researching different TVs was keeping him up at night! But, alas, he still wasn’t sure.

We barely pull out of the driveway before Kyle said, “do you want to just go to Best Buy and get a TV?” Haha! I told him if he wanted to, we could. So we went to Best Buy, looked at TVs, and then I told him we should go to Target (which was right next door) to do a little comparison shopping. We got to Target and there was a pretty good deal on a TV that had excellent reviews. After mulling it over for awhile (okay, a long while), he went for it!
Enter TV beast:
It’s a 40 inch – freaking huge. Kyle actually wanted to get a 47 inch, but I quickly vetoed that. I think 40 inches is borderline too big, but he is quite satisfied with it. He spent the rest of the day enjoying his new purchase, while I was in the office doing homework. Must be nice to have a good job and be out of school!
Now we need a new TV stand. I have my eyes on one from West Elm, but it’s pretty pricey! We shall see…
