Bigger is better

Spring fever has hit me HARD. So, when I'm restless or otherwise crazier than usual, I shop. Well, since Clint & I have finally gotten a hold on our budget, I was fighting the urge. Alas, I found an ad for a 52 inch big screen for sale while I was looking through the paper. So, two weeks later I called the number. Yes, it was still for sale. So, Clint and I went and looked at it and bought it. This is ALL for Grandma's benefit. Now the boys and their friends can watch TV and play video games on a big screen DOWNSTAIRS and leave the upstairs clean. That was the rationale anyway. We are going to pick it up tonight. I really wish I had gotten the game room completely cleaned out first. Clint told me I wouldn't get finished and I said "Yes, I WILL!" I hate it when he's right. I've got to get a path cleared so we can put it where it will go. Clint wanted to put it in our den, but then I'll NEVER get the game room cleaned out and the boys will want to be in there. Sorry, no, that is mine and Clint's 'getaway from people' room. By people, I mean teenagers. Mom and Daddy have been so wonderful with the constant flow of young people through the house. Actually, the kids and their friends do a pretty good job of keeping quiet while they are trying to sleep. It doesn't hurt that Mom and Dad have become night owls in their retirement.
We are having a big hoohah at Jan's the Sunday after Mother's Day. We are celebrating 3 birthdays, 3 graduations and 1 anniversary. Can you say "Big freakin cake?"
