New Wheels! New TV!
Guess what? I have a new vehicle! My Mommy Mobile is officially outta here. Well, not really. It’s just going to become Paul’s Mommy Mobile – er, minivan. He drives a whole lot more than I do, so he’s going to take my van, which works out well, because he really likes driving a van. He’s missing his van A LOT. Did I mention that he sold it at our garage sale? Yeah! Somebody bought a 97 Dodge Caravan with 200K miles on it and a blown transmission. Further proof that Paul The Hustler can sell ANYTHING. So while he’s driving around town, getting good gas mileage in the good old red minivan, I’ll be behind the wheel of my badass Chevy Tahoe. It’s so pretty! I haven’t driven the thing yet, but I sure do like it after sitting in the passenger seat for 20 hours while we drove it home from Los Angeles!
It’s still attached to the U-Haul trailer we brought our MASSIVE TV home in. Paul’s aunt was so gracious, she gave us a stellar deal on the vehicle and threw in the TV, just so we’d get it out of her house. It’s the most ginormous TV I’ve ever seen in real life. It’s a rear projection, older style TV, but it’s still HDMI according to Paul. As far as I know, that means Huge Damned Mofo Idnit? I don’t know much about TVs, really, except that this one cost us very little, is going to look fan-fucking-tastic in our theater room, and is TALLER THAN ME. Have you ever just walked up to a TV and it was taller than you? It’s weird. This TV is just HUGE. 72 inches and a mere 350 pounds. *cough, choke* Paul had to call a buddy to help him move it into our house. Honestly, I can’t wait to hook the thing up so I can watch Spongebob BIGGER THAN LIFE!
I’m not sure if I’m more excited about the TV or the car (should I call it a car? Or a truck? Or what?) but it was nice to leave town for a minute, even if we spent all of our time driving, sleeping, and eating beef jerky. We still got in a quick visit with some friends in LA, and ate at Manuel’s, so all in all, a great little weekend trip.

There’s nothing like a ginormous television for home entertainment! And welcome back!

HUUUUURRRRRAY! But when do you get to drive it???!!
Hurrrrray for you! When do you get to drive it? The car, not the TV.
I miss you when you are gone! Glad the roadtrip went well. I recommend Activia to overcome all the beef jerkey. I used to babysit for a family with a tv like the one you describe. It is like going to the movies in a big city where the theater has been subdivided into living room sized viewing pods. Sounds like fun. Imagine Shrek as life size!

72 inch TV? Holy moly! I can’t even imagine that in a house! That’s going to be rockin’. Glad your trip was a success and you’re home safe and sound. Enjoy that new car – you can call it a car, I said so.
Gah, remind me to call Paul the next time I have a yard sale! I suck at sales! I am so jealous! I wish I could get rid of my Mamavan and get something different!
Have fun in your new car and enjoy your new tv!
OMG you said the F-word
LOL
