How to make your living room look ghetto

Step 1:One month into your marriage, spend way too much money on a 56" flat screen TV.

Step 2: Two and a half years later, finally find an entertainment center that fits your TV perfectly, matches your furniture, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Step 3: One month later, decide that letting your son watch TV for a few hours while you paint his bedroom won't cause you too much mommy guilt, and will let you get the job done faster. 30 minutes into prepping the room, your TV will turn off and never turn back on. It will die and your husband will have a heart attack over the loss of his precious baby.

Step 4: Because you can't live without LOST and Gossip Girl, replace the big screen with the small TV that you haven't used since college. It will be less than half the size of the old TV and will give you this wonderfully ghetto look...

Luckily this is a temporary fix. Our new TV should arrive today!
