We finally bought...

ONE OF THESE.


I don't know how many of you had to go out and buy one of these due to the fact that your TV just isn't cool enough for a digital signal but we're definitely in the category. About 3 years ago we bought a nice new TV. This was before the whole flat panel craze so our TV arguably takes up 1/3 of our living room (and not in a good way). The great thing is that we applied nice and early for the $40 government coupon and got not one, but 2. The bad thing is that with Sophie's arrival and the mayhem of all the holidays, we forgot to use them within the 90 day allotted time so they are expired. Now we're not eligible for anymore...which doesn't matter because the government ran out of money for them a while ago. So I caved and bought one on ebay.

P.S. We don't have cable or a satellite. I know we're a minority but we like it this way. When we have access to cable, we get wayyyy to addicted and find ourselves living Jerry Seinfeld's observation that the last part of your body awake at night is your hand controlling the remote, buying the Ginsu Knives no less.
