beloved victory

Some people love January and February because of playoff football.  I love them because it is awards show season.

New TV

There are some things I like to splurge on: clothes, vacations, dining out.  There are other things that I am more conservative about: cars, shoes, handbags.  Another one of those things is TVs.  I have a 27” CRT television.  With as much TV as I watch, you’d like I’d have a fancy flat panel HD TV.  I’ve had this TV since 2001.  I have never had any problems with this TV and spending the money on a fancy new TV hasn’t been a prioirty.  I’d rather go on a trip than buy a TV.  The Boyfriend makes fun of my TV relentlessly.  I am not sure why my TV bothers him so much.

The other night, he calls and tells me he has good news for me.  He has bought himself a new fancy Google TV.  I am happy for him but wonder why this is good news for me.  Well, he’s giving me his old 40” flat panel HD TV. We’re setting it up this weekend.  Now I have to order HD channels. 

OMG

Oh. My. God.  I could not be happier right now.  You know I love TV.  You know I am far, far behind on my television shows.  I was worrying about how I will ever catch up with this traveling in the mix.  I have AT&T U-verse and I was playing around on their site. 

I CAN WATCH SHOWS I HAVE DVR’D ON MY LAPTOP!!! 

Maybe I am late in the game with this discovery but I am so happy.  I thought I could watch shows tonight, but I haven’t watched last week’s yet so I don’t want to watch this week’s show.  Now that I can watch my DVR’d shows, this makes traveling a little more bearable.  I can only get shows recorded from NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox.  But that is good enough.  I am so excited.
