I think I'm a good wife

So today one of my friends turned me on to the idea of getting a universal remote. I think it's a brilliant idea for a couple of reasons. First, I currently have to push a whole bunch of buttons just to sit down and watch tv. What a pain. It takes nearly 30 seconds before I can start really watching tv. That's simply not acceptable. And if I need to turn on the Wii...you know, so I can play Wiifit...I have to actually get up off the couch and find the TV and Receiver remotes so I can get everything on the right input. With a new universal remote, I could just push a button and bam, it's all done for me. Second, the one I want has really cool backlighting, and a color touch screen. It just looks neat. Yes, dad, I know, when you were my age "tv was called books." (who knows what that line is from?) But now it's just asking too much for people to have to do anything more than press a single button.

But wanting a universal remote doesn't make me a good wife. Here's what does. I told my husband that I wanted a PS3 for Valentine's Day, and that I wanted to give him a universal remote. That, my friends, is why I am awesome. Because unlike last year, where I feigned disinterest, but was then pissed when my husband actually believed me, this year, I have been very specific in what I want, and I have made sure that it's something he likes too. It's a win-win. I don't need romance (I won't lie and say it wouldn't be nice, but I'm going for realistic here), I just need true love...the kind of love that can only come from being able to play Rock Band 2 on a 67" tv with surround sound. Oh, crap...I need surround sound too.

Kelvin, now you know what to get me for our anniversary.

Oh, in the spirit of putting up pics of my family, here's a great one of Kelvin when he was in high school. Don't you just love the hair?

And here's one of Emily from the set of Capitol pictures that Blake took.

And this is one of David from last Thanksgiving:
