Thanks for all the birthday wishes. The hotel in Omaha was a fine establishment, but I think we’ll stay with the 2.5-star hotels in the future. We got the 3-star for $45 (that’s the highest rating on Price-Line), but had to pay extra for parking and there was no free wi-fi. Next time I think we’ll go for our standard $35 2-star hotel. If you use Price-Line for hotels, you should look at betterbidding.com. I think Brent Royuk told me about it.
I stared at TVs for a long time the first night, but didn’t buy anything. I wanted to do a little more research. The next day, we ended-up getting one from the clearance section that wasn’t there the first night. It’s a return. The reason for return? “Didn’t fit. Wrong size.” In my experience that means buyer’s remorse. It’s smaller than I thought I wanted, but once we got it home, I’m glad we didn’t get anything bigger. It’s a model that Consumer Reports recommended. To christen it we watched Slumdog Millionaire.
Oh, and Lauren got some birthday gambling in. She broke even, but I cost us $10.

Thank you, Amy! The birthday itself wasn’t so hot, but the nice weekend more than made up for it.
Look at those plants basking in the warm glow of your TV. I know how they feel.
It’s…it’s bee-u-tee-ful.
Nice! We had to get a new TV this summer. Our satellite receiver went out a week ago, so that meant it was time to upgrade to HD. Watching TV really rocks now.
(I spent 45 minutes on the phone, but managed to talk the guy into free equipment, free delivery, free installation and free Starz (for 3 months) all because I’ve been a loyal customer for so long.)
A perfect fit.
Excellent!!! It’s wonderful! What a perfect gift on your perfect weekend!
