It's Like Waiting for Christmas

I ordered a Dell laptop computer on March 7, and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Apparently, they had to make all of the components by hand, because it took them almost 2 weeks just to build the sucker. They really shouldn't have told me that I could check the status of my order on their website, because I have been on it, everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, checking on the status of it. Well they finally shipped it yesterday, and I should get it tomorrow. *finger crossed* I ordered a Dell E1505, which I believe is a pretty good bang for the buck computer, as I'm mainly going to use it to play poker, and watch the occasional DVD whilst chillin' at work. I'll also use it for work related things (i.e. checking out info via the net), just to let you know.

Then I will be able to play poker anytime I want. You see, the only functional computer is in my sister's room, where I can't exactly be in all the time. I already got the wireless router installed, and it is working, as I checked it out when Cameltoes (a.k.a. Dr. Toes) was in town. My sister is thrilled that I'm going to get it soon, as I'll be out of her hair a little more now. It's made clearing assorted bonuses a little tougher the past month, as I have to plan my playing around her schedule. Don't get me wrong, I've been very grateful for even being able to play on her computer, but I'll be glad to have my own (and so will my sister, beooooooch).

It rained like a mother trucker this past weekend, and my sister's back yard was FLOODED. The water got eerily close to the back door. Not pretty. That also meant that the 4 dogs haven't been in the backyard since Friday, before the monsoon hit. I was given a present by one of my sister's dogs. What was it you ask? A big ole pile of feces on the living room floor. Thanks a lot Goose. (Her other dog is named Maverick. Get it, from Top Gun?) Although, I seriously doubt that this Goose will die in an ejecting malfunction.
