We dropped Ellie off at Petsmart for her cut and checked out the surrounding stores since we're not out that way very often. We stopped at Target to look around. At the Hair Cuttery for Rob and then Best Buy for Rob once again (though I can do my fair amount of drooling in there also).
We went home with a clean cut Rob and Ellie (plus a cute little sweater)...
...and a new computer monitor for Rob's computer. Though its more of a GIANT screen!
Once we got home, we realized the current set up was not conducive to this bohemeth screen. The desk it sat on was also atrocious. So we (really I) decided a new desk was in order in a new position so that the computer could also be used as a theater system in addition to Rob's Game Station.
Of course, Rob had to set up his new toy right away. After about 20 minutes of work, he realized that a pixel in the middle of screen was blown. You may scoff at this but once you realize there's a little red dot on the screen, you can't focus on anything else. So back in the box it went.
So this morning, we got up early (with the promise of Dunkin Donuts, anything is possible) and took the monitor back to Best Buy. We also swung by Target and picked up a new desk and a new chair. Of course, they didn't have the same monitor to exchange directly for, so he "had" to upgrade. So now in our front room is a 28" computer monitor on a new desk that is arranged perfectly for us to be able to sit in the comfy IKEA chairs and watch a movie in high definition if it so suits us.
What a weekend. It was just supposed to be the weekend of hair cuts!
