Keeping up with the Townleys!

So apparently when the cat's away, the mice buy ELECTRONICS! This evening I was settling down for a night of dvd's and gift wrapping when our dvd player decided to cash in its chips. I've known this day was coming for a while now and I've been preparing for it. (Preparing = sucking up to my friend's husband that knows about electronics).
Clayton is the electronics king. I swear, Sony probably calls him for advice. He dropped everything and met me at Best Buy (THAT'S a good friend!). I should note here *in case Santa reads my web page, that Clay also fixed the air pressure in my car tires last week* ("nice" list).
Anyway, Clay and I found a niiiiice little system for a reasonable price. I headed home, AND ASSEMBLED IT MYSELF!!! (cue the applause)That was a very proud moment(aka three hours). Hooking up surround sound speakers, fixing the wires and finding out the blue/yellow/red/white cords that never have corresponding colors on the machine. It works though! ...ish.
Clayton is coming over tomorrow to fix it.

Seriously Santa, hook that boy up.
