Stephen's "BOOM, BOOM"

When our house was under construction they wired everything up for our television receiver, surround sound, and outdoor speakers and this Wednesday Stephen had everything installed and setup. I was more concerned about making sure the speakers lined up with the recessed lighting (I mean they were cutting holes in the ceiling anyone would be concerned) and Stephen was just concerned about which DVD he was going to have playing for me when I got home from work. He was so excited to get what he called the "Boom, Boom" in the house. I made sure Stephen sent me pictures every time they cut a hole in the ceiling and I was impressed at their precision in making sure everything was in line. After they left Stephen went to work on hooking up our DVD player, cable, and wii. But come to find out our DVD player did not have an HDMI input. Stephen took that to mean that we needed an upgrade, haha. He bought himself a blue-ray player for his birthday. Yes, it is a birthday present. When I got home he had everything all setup, the pictures were even put back on the mantle, and anywhere there was an electronic something it was dusted. He did not quite get all the furniture but I was pleased with what he did dust. The first thing he played for me to show off our new "Boom, Boom" was his treasured Eagles: Hell Freezes Over. It sounded great but then came to the tough part, explaining to me which remote did what, which button to touch, and which buttons not to even look at. I had it all together and felt like I had a good grasp on the new "Boom, Boom". Stephen left for work yesterday so last night I was able to watch my shows that I have DVR'd during the day. I did exactly what Stephen had told me to do on how to TURN ON the TV. It didn't work! I heard the TV sound coming through the ceiling and all around me but the TV just sat there in it's happy little slumber mode, laughing at me because it knew that I didn't know how to turn it on. So being the proud wife that I am I could not call Stephen and ask, "How do I turn the TV on?" I had to figure this one out on my own. I resorted to using the TV remote that Stephen told me not to use. It worked and I got to finally watch Days of our Lives. Shortly after turning the TV on, Stephen called. I was not about to tell him about my tough times trying to turn on the TV, then he said, "Did you have to use the TV remote to turn on the TV?" I thought it might be a trick question so I stumbled over my answer and tried to explain before I gave my simple answer of yes. Stephen said, "Yeah, I have to work on that I could not figure it out." What? The whole time I was thinking I messed something up and wasn't following the directions, tit for tat, when the directions I was given were not even correct. Haha, oh well. I managed to survive that one without messing up Stephen's new advanced technology. As the night progressed I moved on to my new favorite drama, Vampire Dairies. I have to admit with the "Boom, Boom" creepy scenes are even creepier when the sound comes from all around you. B.J. would not last one minute in our house watching a scary movie. Not that he would even watch a scary movie with us (he is not a fan of scary, this is the movie that did him in), but if he did, whoa, he would freak out. Needless to say the "Boom, Boom" is fun so far.
