« Dear Cinderella:
Still Missing »

That is not overnight.

Remember back when I won that $250 airline voucher from that survey company?

Well, they wrote me and asked me what airline I wanted the voucher for, and I told them, and then they weren’t able to get it.

So they sent me a check for $250 dollars instead.

And then they lowered the price of the Iphone to $399. And then my Ipod, which had been severely damaged by the “Great Ipod disaster of 2007″ pretty much quit working.

And then Bug accidentally threw my cell phone into the trash can at McDonalds.

Hello. I have OCD. Do you know how many germs are in a trash can at McDonalds? (Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.)

So I looked up cell phones online and wow, they are expensive. And I wasn’t eligible for the free upgrade yet.

And I needed another $149 in order to get the Iphone and while our money situation has drastically improved…I didn’t feel right about spending $150 on something that I didn’t really, truly need.

But man..I wanted that Iphone. I wanted it so badly.

And then by some miracle, DFS decided to pay me for the respite I had done many months ago. $160 got deposited in my account.

Now, I know that $160 should have gone into my retirement account or something, but you know what? I haven’t really done anything for me in a long long long long time.

So yesterday, I ordered the freaking Iphone. And I was excited. I even paid the $16 to have it overnighted.

And then I got the email that it is had shipped and I would have it in my hands by 4:30 today.

I was psyched. This morning I did the “I’m getting my Iphone dance” much to the embarassment of my children.

Um.

See this:

Estimated delivery   Oct 24, 2007 by 4:30 PM

That is what it has been saying all day. Except now it is Oct 24, 2007 10:41 PM AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY IPHONE.

On the other hand, I did steal someone’s heater repairman and it is quite toasty in my house now, so maybe I should stop being so damn GREEDY.

You suck, FedEx.

    I don’t mean to laugh, but I hate looking forward to something SO MUCH only to have the day pass by and you are still without that something! Can you tell I’m waiting for something too? Because I am! Soo glad you ordered the iPhone for yourself though — I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Enjoy!

    You are really brave to post this with trolls on the loose! I mean, you spent money on something for you?!?! See, this proves that you are only fostering for the great money. bahaha

    I think it’s awesome that you bought the phone. You need to do something nice for yourself once a millennium or so. I just wish I could take my own advice.

    AWESOME ! I’m so excited for you. We’ve been doing the same thing. My phone expectantly died when I slammed it to the ground and I wanted to upgrade to an iphone but can’t until next spring. So I had to settle with a hand me down phone for the mean time.

    Now the estimated delivery has disappeared and the only thing it shows is that it arrived in Memphis at 2 am yesterday morning.

    I WANT MY PHONE.

    Oh that SUCKS!! I remember waiting and watching the estimated delivery date for my first iPod. I would be freaking out if I was getting an iPhone. I really hope it gets there VERY, VERY soon. And of course you’ll have to tell us all about how AWESOME it is! :-)

    So now when the mean lady at the grocery store makes snooty comments about people getting WIC when they have money to buy magazines, you can whip out your iPhone and really give her something to think about =)

    I hope your phone arrives soon. You “need” it! Heck, once in a while a “want” is “need” just because it keeps you sane.
