Good things come to those who wait!


I really wanted an HD TV but I refused to even think about looking at buying one. My TV worked just fine and I thought it would be wasteful to spend $1000 when there was nothing wrong with the one I had. The purchase also would not have been in-keeping with my 'responsibility and impulse control' goals.

A few weeks ago, I bought a ticket for a charity draw for a big-screen HD TV and an HD cable box. The charity is one that I support and believe in, so I didn't regret the $10 for the ticket.

Long story short -

I won the damn draw!


I am now the proud owner of a very large, very wide HDTV!
Patience is a virtue and good things do come to those who wait!!!!!!!
