It's been a while

So, we have been busy over the last couple of weeks. On the 12th we cooked BBQ for a benefit to help one of Dave's friends involved ina motorcycle accident. The food raised over $500 dollars and the entire benefit collected about $8000. I would venture to say, it was a great success.

On Sunday, we finally decided to take all of the moeny we'd been saving and go buy our new TV. Dave finally got his 42" plasma! Now we have to save up for the HD receiver box. Maybe next race season! It was ok until we got home to put it all together. Our friend, Chris, come over to help. Actually I bribed him with beer and dinner. Anyway, he and Dave start putting the TV stand together and there are no instructions. They decided the instruction must be in the box with the glass panels. Well, upon removing the tape, there was a small glass explosion all over my livingroom floor! It seem that every piece of glass in the box had shattered and a portion of it was in my carpet! So we load it all back up and head to WalMart - That becomes a whole new story for a novel... After arguing with them for 30+ minutes, we jsut got our money back and went to Best Buy to get me a TV stand. It was actually $50 cheaper and only took Dave and Chris about 20 minutes to put together. Here's the new set up.. I've since painted the DVD shelf balck and hung 2 pictures above the TV. The boys didn't even notice that huge bare space on the wall... MEN!!!!!

We had our Passion Party Thursday night - What fun that was! There were 5 couples and we had a blast! But we shall remember, what happed at the party, stays at the party... mmmm is the word!

Mom and Dad came down yesterday. We sold one of our sofas. Mom was going to sell her big green reclining one and I snatched it up. I love that couch, recliner/massager. It is great and totally coordinated with the other sofa we own.
