The Great Computer Chase

Guess what, guess what, guess what! I bought a laptop!! Its so pretty and shiny and new! It was delivered yesterday and I am blogging on it right now. I'm not blogging in the den on my parents computer, nope, I'm sitting on my bed. With my cute new blue laptop (yup, I said blue, Midnight Blue!) Its very exciting!!




Now for the exciting, adventure part of the story:
Mom had the day off of work yesterday, which was good cause I was expecting Fed-Ex to deliver my laptop and someone would need to be there to sign for it. So Mom got up in the morning, started her laundry, and went into her room to get dressed. While she was getting dressed Ivy (the dog) started going nuts! Mom went out to see what was going on and Ivy was at the front door barking and whining. Mom opened the door, Ivy ran outside and mom followed just in time to see the Fed-Ex guy driving away. He had left a note on the door saying something like "we have your really exciting and anticipated package but you didn't answer your door fast enough so we are holding it hostage and you're going to have to come pick it up sometime but not after you get off work cause we'll be closed by then so you'll just have to sit and wait until we open in the morning while thinking about the fact that we have your highly anticipated and exciting package. Mwah ha ha!" No kidding, the Fed-Ex note had evil laughter on it! ...ok, that might not be an actual quote... anyway, on with the story... So, you would think mom would say "oh, dang it!" and go back inside right? NOT MY MAMA!! She shouted for the dog, they both jumped in the car and chased that Fed-Ex guy down! She saw him turning one way so she went the other way (it was a short cut I think) and caught up with him just as he was turning around in a cul-de-sac. She waved the nasty note he left out her window and shouted "I was home, I was just slow!" Apparently it wasn't this particular Fed-Ex guy that composed the note cause it sounds like he was actually quite nice. He laughed a little at Mom, gave her the package, and went on his way. ISN'T MY MOM GREAT?!! I don't know that anyone else would have chased down a delivery person on my behalf. Thanks Mom!!
Well, that's my exciting news and my moms exciting action adventure story. I'm hoping that I will blog a little more often now that I have my great new computer so stay tuned...um...I should probably note that the previous statement is a hope not a promise :)
