On Crack
Last night was spent researching LCD HDTVs online with the Hubby. Since we couldn’t make it to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl, we’ve decided to upgrade our 32″ boob tube for either a 37″ or 42″ LCD TV to watch the UH Warriors play Georgia on New Year’s Day.
At around 9:00 p.m. last night…
Me: The 42″ Vizio is cheaper at Wal-mart.
Hubs: Is it in stock?
Me: *clicking the link to check* Yeah! It’s in stock! Let’s go now!
Hubs: Are you on crack?!
Needless to say, we didn’t go last night to pick up the TV. Hubby and I are different in that respect. I am willing to jump in my car at almost any hour to make such a purchase, while Hubby is much more practical and will wait for the light of day to avoid making impulse buys. I believe that’s why it’s good to have a spouse who is the yang to my yin, we keep each other in balance.
And, just for the record, I’m not on crack. I’m on dexamethasone, doryx, and climara patches!
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
Geez, it was only 9 pm. To be on crack it would have to be at least 11…

“Hubs: Are you on crack?!” That’s classic.
I don’t know if you guys bought your new TV yet; but, I had to do some research earlier this month on HDTVs. I had to replace my parents’ TV… let’s just say Wiis ARE dangerous. If you’re looking also at plasma HDTV (that’s what their’s was), then Panasonic and Pioneer are the two with the best ratings from Consumers Report. And, here’s the pricing I found:
