fun times at the Buford house

i swear - i will post some SUPER fun pictures soon. right now, as i type, i have been banished to the computer room as my husband and his cousin assemble what is sure to be a fantastic amount of glass and metal (which probably in NO way matches the rest of the living room furniture but looks "modern") that holds up the new forty-some inch flat screen something TV that he just bought. please, don't get the impression that i'm upset about it. i'm honestly quite excited! and he even called me at work and asked me if he had permission to spend his own money on this TV that we had been discussing (and he had been given permission to buy) months ago! so it's all totally good here. i'm 100% thrilled to watch Harry Potter movies and chick movies on a big huge tv while he's at work next week! :o) alas, if only we had cable! but anyway, when i came home from work, they met me at the door and made me hold the mail over my eyes and walk with my back to the living room and march straight upstairs without peeking so that they can produce the "grand effect" of a finished product once they get it put together.
why is his cousin here? such grand entertainment!! nikki, matt's wife, is away for her job to dallas, so matt took vacation from his job to spend the week here. SU-WEET! we're having a BLAST! he's here till thursday. charles worked yesterday so matt and i hung out and had lovely conversations and then discovered that the "china buffet" in leavenworth KICKS ASS!! and now that charles is off work for today and tomorrow, they have begun their two day adventure by staying awake all night last night playing xbox, sleeping all morning, and then spending THOUSANDS of dollars this afternoon. tonight we're grilling hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. should be fun times since i dont think any of us really know how to operate the grill. tomorrow we're going to see the die hard movie then hitting dave & busters so that we can all spend lots of money playing video games that those boys could rightly play for free right here. it'll be great!! :o)
