Anticipation

I am taking a moment today to whine publicly. My wonderful hubby surprised me by letting me order a new laptop. I am beyond excited because I’ve so been wanting one and I’ve never had one. We got a great deal on it and it even has a built in webcam so I am going to work on putting up an occasional video post.

Now I have to do the thing I hate and am not at all good at…wait. Sigh. I almost wish I didn’t know it was coming. I check the Dell site every day to see if it has shipped yet. I don’t think I’ve eagerly anticipated any present this much since I was convinced my dad was going to get me a car for my 17th birthday.

Evan is getting my desktop computer so he is also eagerly awaiting my laptop. Neither of us is very patient. Poor Harold. Poor, poor Harold! Fortunately he is patient and can put up with us.

Here is a picture of what my laptop will look like just in case you are curious. It’s my favorite color.

I think I’ll go check the Dell site again…

Your new laptop is very pretty. Purple is my favorite color.

A very cool color! The other laptops will be green with envy (which is my favorite color, by the way, but a purple laptop will stand out more).
Just curious...did your dad get you a car for your 17th birthday?

Actually, he did. Not necessarily because I was so spoiled, but because we were a 3 driver family living in L.A. with only one car, which really didn't work. He wasn't afraid to take it away my driving privileges though! :)
