I am now an official "maconite", what is this you might ask? Is this even an actual word? Well let me say that I don't really know, but it was the first word that came to my mind...See what happened next...
I decided to purchase a mac book; OH MY am I excited and very optimistic to explore a whole new world yet to be uncovered. This reminds me of my honeymoon with my wife when I decided to go snorkeling at the beach outside of our condo for the first time. Thirty minutes later I came in and with an ecstatic voice I told my wife that I had just experienced a whole new world under the sea. This is exactly how I feel today, I have found an entire new world!
I was gone last week out of town at a conference, here are the things that happened before, during and after my computer order:
- Made the order through apple.com and verified that it actually was ordered 20 times. Do I have a controlling personality, hmmmmmm?
- Checked the order again a couple of hours later.
- Ran out of the house when I saw a Fed Ex truck and worked out a plan for the delivery of my computer when I was gone.
- Called my wife repeatedly and reminded her that my very important package was coming on Thursday and to look for it every five minutes, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, maybe not?
- Verified when it arrived that it was in safe hands. My wife informed me that she was going to check it out and make sure it works...almost had a heart attack....ieeeee.
- Got home and had tremendous self control while I had a great time with my wife and kiddos.
- Put the kids to bed and then spent some quality time with my wife.
- Could not stand it any longer, so asked if I could just begin the process of just opening the box to see my new machine.
- Took a picture of the packaging box
- Took a picture of the Apple Box
- Took a picture of the computer
- Opened the machine with so much excitement.
- Decided that it would be good to spend the rest of the night with the 2nd priority of my life after Jesus and that is my wife.
- What a fun journey. Next step, setting up a virtual computer using vmfirmware "fusion"...
This is absolutely histerical!!!! I am so impressed that you had such composure...like I said at church, you are a great father and hubby! Have fun with your mac
