...for Valentines day.
Let me give you a little background..I told Tracey from day one, one thing I do not believe in is the BS holiday of Valentine's day. Up until this year, I have given her nothing for the BS holiday....no flowers..no candy...no nuttin.( I give her that stuff other times of year just for the heck of it..I do not need a d a m n holiday to tell me when to romance my woman.) This year, when she was finally expecting to not get anything...I got her a nice little diamond bracelet. She has been eying some for a while now, so I surprised her..and of course gave it to her a week early...more of my oppressing of the Vday.
Well, she decided it was time to get me something I have wanted for a while too......a flat/panel screen monitor.....I have looked at them a couple times, but being the cheap bastid I am, have refused to spend over $200 on a new monitor.
Well, we were at Circuit City the other night, and she called me over to the monitors....which, like everything in the store, were on sale. She asked me if I wanted one..I said sure....so she paid for it. Really, when married, our money is our money..but its nice for her to whip out the money sometimes. We were in there looking for a deal on the TV's, but they did not have good enough deals yet...I'll go back when they are 50% off, and not just 25%.
We got this Acer 22" for ~$160 OTD.
Oh yeah.
