Jan. 23 - Lisa's Musings From Every Day Life
I got a new TV today.
Well, not a new TV, but one that's new to me.
And its screen is probably twice the size of the one I was watching.
It's so wide that I can read the fine print on the bottom from the dining room while typing on my laptop that sits on the kitchen table.
I didn't realize how small the screen on the old, (also given to me), TV was, until this afternoon.
When the new one was switched on for the first time.
I guess it's like ignoring ugly wallpaper in the house. You're just so used to seeing it, you don't notice it any more.
Did I mention I have a LOT of ugly wallpaper in this house?
But back to the "new" TV.
For some reason, everyone offers me their old TV's, and I accept them.
In fact, I think I'm one of the few people on earth who has never bought a new TV.
Ever.
Ironically, though, with all the new TV's I've been given in my lifetime, I only have one hooked up at a time.
And it's in the living room.
I'm also probably one of the few people in the country who doesn't have a TV in my bedroom.
Instead of watching TV before I go to sleep, I read.
And, I think that's a good thing.
