"Oh baby! Just looking at the big sexy thing gives me shivers all over. Oh my! Can I touch it? Pleeeease?"
Why yes. Yes you can. As long as I can touch yours too. It's only fair. Oh wait. You meant the TV?
I now have a big ass TV. You know, one of those ones [...]

Sit down for this one.
No, trust me. Sit down.
I still have a 27″ TV.
There! I said it! Are you happy now?!?
But it's time for change. I'm in the market for a new television for my living room. I have a guess regarding what I need/want, and I hope those of you who know more about [...]

I'm heading to Irving in a few minutes to pick up a laptop. I'll probably stop and get coffee on the way home. If you'd like to meet up, give me a call.
And, to entertain you until I get back…
It's made with Lightning… REAL Lightning.

Believe it or not, even when you've already put in an offer on a house, put your house up for sale, put a couple grand into fixing up your current house, and received a big fat check from your employer for moving expenses… that still doesn't mean it's a done deal.
Early today, we were this [...]

I've been up since 3:30am. I went to bed at 10:30pm after a LONG day of lots of hard work. You'd think I'd be able to sleep more than 5 hours. But… noooooooo.
