20 guesses or is it 20 questions??

It's actually going to be just one question and you can guess however many times you want cause I'll never know how many guesses it takes  you. Or you can never guess at all and just keep on reading... 
Here we go:



Can you guess what's wrong with this picture?

Hints:

It's not the TV screen. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Conan O'Brien or Coco as I like to call him.

It's not the letter "h" on the polka dot paper that's framed. Although it is way too little of an "h" and looks a little funny. Just a lone little H.
It stands for Haslem. 

It's not my magazine rack sitting off to the side that I found at D.I for really cheap. I love it but I don't really use it cause I can't see my mags.

Okay, I'll tell you. Our TV sits in a cardboard box with packing tape holding it up. That's been it's home for the last 2 1/2 months since we moved here to IF. We can't find a TV stand in any store. 

I lost the pieces for the one that goes to the TV so it's all my fault.

Want to know whats a bummer? 

That TV cost us 500 dollars on sale. And now you can get that same one for about 298.00 at WalMart for reg. price. 

Water under the bridge, right?

Right??

At least until one of the "H"s knocks it out of it's box and then there just may be a flood.....

(did you get the allegory of the bridge and the flood?~ It's okay if you didn't~ I thought it was kind of clever so I left it, even though Trevor didn't get it)

*********************************

Game over. 

Now I'm going to tell you a couple of good things. 

1. Ricky Gervais was on Coco tonight. It was like the fates got together and decided to make this one magical night. Just for me. 

2. Trevor doesn't have to work tomorrow. Need I say more???

3. I am listening to my Pandora Colbie Calliat station. Best station ever. So many good musicians  that I haven't ever heard of. Like Sara Bareilles. I may be the last person to know who she is  but I LOVE her voice. It's what I imagine myself to sound like when I'm singing along to Taylor Swift in the car. 


I have a wonderful imagination. 

Good night.

Sarah, your blog is seriously my favorite. AND YES, I got the allegory. Very, poetic of you! Sorry about the overpriced TV. I remember buying our first DVD player when we were newlyweds for just under $500, and now you can get one for as low as $30!!! Anyway, I hope you find a tv stand! You're so creative, though. I bet if you took a trip to a thrift store, you'd come up with something that might end up even better.

I love Coco too! Just looking at him makes me laugh...except that I hate that his show is only on 4 days a week. But I do love that his show comes on at 9 now. I'm so not a night owl. I have to DVR Jimmy Fallon because I can't stay awake until 11:30 anymore.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
