This is only a Test

Over the past weekend the wife and I made our every other month trip to Sam's Club. While strolling in we walked past the big screen Tv's with football on them. Erin (wife) says, hey that sure would be nice for football and movies! Thinking to my self, Damn right woman! the bigger the better. i play along and ask what size would you think we would get? She thinks a 50' Plasma would do. Very Nice! After looking at a couple for a few minutes I begin to get back to our real shopping list. We don't get more than 10 steps and we come across a Bose surround sound. She says to me, Wouldn't that be great to have? Much better than having wires all over the place and better sound. I says Damn right woman! I explain to her how that would allow us to get rid of the DVD player and receiver because it takes care of it with that 'little thingy' there. WOW! Once again we start on our path to the real reason we went there and continue our day. That evening she starts to measure out where the tv would fit in our apartment and how we could rearrange the furniture to make everything look 'better'. Now the question I have to anyone reading this is a simple one, Is this just a test? Is this one of those times that she has baited me and just waiting for me to say lets go get it and then she snaps? Why does she want a big Tv? It can't just be because she doesn't like the food at BW3's (Buffalo WildWings, don't know exactly where the 3's part came from). Seeing the Notebook on a 50' Plasma with incredible Bose sound probably doesn't do a lot more than seeing it on a 27' tv. Does it? She can't really want me to have a bigger TV than almost anyone in my Fantasy Football league, she knows that means everyone will be at The Penthouse (my pad) every Sunday, Monday, and occasionally on Thursdays and Saturdays, right? The next thing you know she will want to get a kegerator for good measure. Maybe put up some pictures of the Swedish ski team. At this point the decision on the Tv is a hold, but only until I can determine with more certainty if it is only a test.
