Well I came into Black Friday with every intention of spending no money. I knew we had little to spend on Christmas and had no desire to get up early, so it seemed like an easy thing to spend no money.
Well that was until later in the evening when someone told me they would give me their Christmas gift early if it helped me get closer to buying a tv like I had been talking about doing ever since we moved. Lo and behold…I walked out of Best Buy last night with this…. 40 inches of pure wonderful awesomeness. In all honesty, our previous tv was just too small for our new place, but fit our old apartment decently. It’s a lame excuse…but it’s all I have to say for myself.
