I have done a lot of sitting and waiting on delivery and repair people since moving into our house. Today is more of the same, but much more exciting. Today my friends, the television gets delivered. And not this is not just any television, this is the 60 inch monstrosity that my husband has been drooling over for the last four years.
We lived in a small apartment where a 60 inch tv would look absolutely ridiculous so I just kept telling Bryce that we would buy his tv when we moved. We’ll he called my bluff. We’ve moved and the television has been ordered. Today he is anxiously sitting by his phone at work waiting for me to call him and let him know that his precious has arrived. Poor guy, the tv was scheduled for delivery between 9 am and noon today. However, they called at 10 am and reschedule delivery for between 1 pm and 4 pm.
We ordered this entertainment center off of Overstock.com in anticipation of the event: 
It fits the space in our game room well and is definitely large enough to hold the television.
But the fun doesn’t end there, today the bedroom dresser and my night stand also get delivered.
Dresser
Nightstand
The only bad part is we have to do assembly. I normally don’t mind because doing the assembly ourselves saves a couple of hundred dollars, but does anyone really believe that these are going to get assembled tonight when the new tv as also shown up? Yeah, me neither. I guess I’ll just have to sit on the floor and stroke the boxes in lovely anticipation of their completion.
I know that a couple of you are probably giving me funny looks right now for the height of my new nightstand. But bear with me here. Our bed is HUGE.
Huge I tell you. The head-board stands 5'2" or something crazy like that.
When I looked into ordering a traditional night stand they all stand approximately 24 inches tall. That means they hit the middle of my box springs. So not going to work for me. Instead this new guy will give me way more storage and stand 48 inches tall. That is approximately 15 inches taller than the top of my mattress. (Can you tell I’ve become good friends with my tape measurer?) I think this will be do-able as long as whatever lamp I buy has a switch at the bottom and not the top. But I’ll let you know if I was wrong if the sucker ever gets built.
It might take a while, I’m predicting that my husband gets sucked into a television black hole for at least the next 48 hours.
