Hawaian Express
Thu Jul 14 2005

I wait by the front porch window.

The one that my computer desk looks out of.

There is a big empty space where the CPU used to be.

I have dusted and cleaned the whole area. The cables and adapters lie carefully arranged on the desktop. They are ready for their new brain.

I have prepared a plate of cookies for the UPS guy who will be the bearer of my new computer.

Ours is a very large and muscular Hawaian fellow who is possesed of the most impressive pair of calves I have ever seen in my life.

But he is nowhere to be found.

All the tracking numbers tell me is that my package is "in transit" to San Pablo. Where the heck is San Pablo anyway?

And I think those cookies are getting stale.

Woe is me!

    $16??? Wow, that is the lowest price I've seen for it ANYWHERE! Up here, after checking all the stores and online sources, $20 is the lowest I have found it for.

    I don't think the $4 warrants a road trip to California, but close!

    mmmm big calves...i hope it gets delivered soon.

    RYC: yes drinking here is certainly very social and very much the done thing, especially amongst women of my age, virtually everyone I know, drinks wine as an end-of-the-day thing most nights....

    how sweet you left cupcakes for the computer bearer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can just see you sitting there watching longlinly for the new computer to come up the walk
    (that is so cute)

    when I bought my first car I kept looking out of the window to admire it and make certain it was still there
    then by my fourth car I would look out of the window hoping it would disappear just some extra thought process I think
    have a gorgeous day Im as perverted as ever but

    quite enjoying it actually which is the essence of the thing called life

    RYC: Funny that you should mention The Dog Whisperer as I do actually have a copy of it. It's in a box as is pretty much everything else I own *sigh*
