(i live my life)
not that we don't have TONS of things going on in our lives right now (i mean, i've ran the dishwasher 3x this week already and it's all packed and ready for another go-round tomorrow; i know excitement, kids), but i just cannot get myself in the mood to blog anything. (aren't you SO excited you're reading this?) maybe it's because i was at our going-out-of-business borders store and saw that bristol palin has a book published, her life so far memoir. (i almost gagged and walked out of the bookstore before spending my customary hour inside.) or maybe it's because i feel like i do the same. stupid. things everyday. (i'm not calling mothering finn "stupid." you're stupid to assume that.) or maybe it's because i really feel like i have no friends i can just call up to come over. (thanks for having a job, schizzer. and bethie, you for having to become an attorney. who needs the likes of you two around anyway? answer : MEEEEE!!! I DO!!!!! sigh) or maybe it's because i just realized we're coming up on two years of living in the the ughpt and there is still no apparent end to that situation in sight. (although, i actually do like this place. it helps that we've had some of our new neighbors comment on how "spacious" it is. we do have like 5sf more than them, so...) hopefully now that football is back in full swing, i'll get that hitch in my giddyup that we've all been waiting for. (i cannot possibly tell you how FREAKING EXCITED i was when all i could find on our 12 espn channels was football this and football that. FOOTBALL'S BACK, BABY! did ya hear the good great wonderful miraculous news?!)
and also please pick up on the title of this post. (i think i gave you enough clues throughout to not have to ask about it.)

two words : under warranty
two more words : 55in tv (that counts as two words since i smooshed the 55 and in together, see?)
lots more words : about 2wks ago, we noticed some small red streaks through the picture of our tv. as the week wore on, the streaks got worse. and worse. and worse. until each streak (and there were about 5) was about 3in long and usually showed up right in the middle of david bromstad's lovely forehead. anyway...we finally figured we needed to do something about this. we busted out our tv warranty papers and, tada! still had a few months left on our 4yr warranty. HAllelujah! mor dialed those guys right up and explained the problem we were having and set up a time for the repairman to come the following week to take a look. when he got here (smelling of some of the worst stale smoke this side of my late grandma jeanne), he informed me of two things : 1) our tv needed an entire new "panel" (whatever that means, but he said it in a very serious tone) and 2) the ambiguous warranty people usually didn't want to shell out the money to put a new panel in an old tv. if we didn't hear from him or the warranty people within a week, we should call him. so, we wait a week and a day before we hear anything. our warranty people tell us that no, as a matter of fact they don't want to pay for a new panel in our old and decrepit tv. INSTEAD, we are to head on over to best buy and pick out a brand new tv. two things though : 1) the tv we got had to be priced no more than what we paid initially, way back when flat screen tvs were ex-pen-sive and 2) we would have to pay the cost of a new warranty. that we can do, buddy.
long story short : i sent mor off with our almost 4yr old 47in toshiba and he returned with our brand new never-been-opened (our old tv was the display model) 55in toshiba with wifi and netflix/youtube/pandora capabilities. woohoo doggies!!!
moral of the story : always splurge for the warranty.
now if you'll excuse me, i've got to go watch a life-size hippo destroy a life-size croc on animal planet. i'm as a giddy as a schoolgirl, i tell ya!
oh and the box the tv came in was over 6ft long. for serious.
