For the first time in our couplehood, over 10 years, Jason and I have a TV in our bedroom. I'm not sure what's more exciting, our giant HDTV in the living room, or curling up in bed watching Gossip Girl.
Crazy, huh?
No, not THAT team, although I did have a dream last night that I kissed Katy Perry, somewhat ironically, to kiss the girl that sings the song about kissing the girl.. I mean, you kinda have to kiss her, right? And no, no clue why Katy Perry was in my dream. I also lived in a huge house with marble floors and Zoe was sleeping in a regular bed and I was freaking out that she was going to crack her head open on the marble floor. Wow, I really do have issues. I mean, who would dream about a house with MARBLE floors if your last name isn't Trump?
So the team switching thing... I may now be "Team Edward".
Yes, dorky Twilight fan talk ahead. I wasn't all that hot for Edward tho.. to me he was an overly mushygushy problem for Bella - and I kinda wanted her to end up have little puppies with Jacob. Then I saw the movie posters.. Meh, I don't know.. Then my peeps over at MamaPop (where my glorious husband contributes, so yes, they are MY Peeps) went and posted THIS PIC:
And I think I actually shivered...
YUM. I recently saw a charm on Etsy that read "Twilight: The only thing better than cupcakes" and Yes, I SO concur.
... and you feel the need to buy 15 other new things because the ONE new thing makes everything else look like crap?
I've been holding off on the TV front. Jason has been moaning and whining for years already about our old TV.. our big TV, our non-flat TV, our old-school non-HD TV. I been telling him to suck it. Our TV is FINE. That was until every single last one of our friends got one. Crap. Now it's all about Keeping up with the Joneses. And you KNOW I must keep up appearances.
One evening when we had people over, we put on a movie for the kids and I actually feared that one of the kids was going to ask "why does your TV look funny and round?" So, to help ease the embarrassment factor and be a nice wife, I got my husband his equivalent of $200 Paige Jeans... a 47" Vzio
And there for a moment, I thought we were going to need a bigger house to hold the freaking thing.
I will say.. it's nice. VERY nice. We like.
But, it makes the rest of the house look like an whore who's been picked up one too many times. Sigh.
See, since we could only possibly get $25 for the old (perfectly good) TV, I decided that we were not going to sell it. We were going to do something that Jason and I have NEVER done in the history of co-habitation, we were going to have a TV in our bedroom.
But that meant that we needed a dresser since somehow we've managed the past 3 years without one. And that means new bedside lamps.. and possibly new linens? DEFINATELY curtains because OHMYGOD I hate those blinds.. and do you realize that we are having people - IN OUR HOUSE next weekend! We need it all NOW. TODAY. Oh hell, let's paint the room yellow and change all the outdoor light fixtures!
Is it possible that the nesting instinct lasts a year postpartum?
