New Stuff!

I've been saving for quite a while now for a new TV, and finally found a good deal on one that I'm absolutely in love with!! It's a good fit for my house now, and will also be nice when I buy my own home someday! (Gotta think ahead right?) I ended up with a Plasma TV, which I know people sometimes say bad things about. BUT! I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and I feel like this was the best choice for my new TV!! The problem some people have with plasmas is that sometimes images tend to get "burned" into the screen. My TV actually comes with features to prevent that and also a "washout" feature to fix any should it actually happen. Also, that's really more of a problem for video gamers who have maps on their screen that stay there too long. Images won't burn onto the screen unless they are constantly there and not moving around for a few hours or so. I tried to find a picture of my TV online, but could not get one. I guess I'll have to take one with my camera when I get home and post it later.

In other news...I came across a really good sale on my TV, so I had a little money left over. I currently have two couches (really a couch and a loveseat) that were given to me by a friend when she got new furniture. Well, they are really ugly and EXTREMELY uncomfortable! Boards are broken in them so you sit a little crooked in them, etc. So, I found a sectional couch (couch and chaise) that I fell in LOVE with. The best part is, I had saved so much for my TV that I had enough left over for this couch! Yay! Now when my parents come visit in a couple weeks, I'll have a good TV for my dad to watch his ESPN on and a comfortable place for us all to sit!! I'm soooo excited! I finally have all the furniture I could need now! I have a full living room and all my bedroom furniture matches (now that I've painted my bed to match)! I love it! Here's a pic of my new couch (except that I have the chaise part on the other side).

And the last piece of good news...I think they are building a SONIC right down the street from my house!! I'm soooo excited! You never realize how much you miss SONIC until you move away from it. That's all I got for now!
