The Saga of the new computer....

     Ok, so I had to get the new computer because the boy child, who will at this point remain nameless, dropped the old laptop and I have come to understand they do not bounce well. I had decided I was going to take on this project of a blog and a book but the missing element was a computer. I figured out my price range, talked to husband Michael, my computer guru, and went to Best Buy to see what was available to me. Now I know how much I need to save and what I need in a computer. I found “the One”, the perfect computer that meets all my needs.
      After a couple of weeks I put it all together; on a warm Saturday afternoon I was ready to make the commitment. With cash in hand, and excitement to get started I bribed Mike with lunch to go to Best Buy with me and get my new computer. We went in and stood around for a while looking for a person in a blue shirt to help us and they told us they were all sold out of “THE ONE”. The perfect computer I had picked out, it had all the computery (yes I realize this is not really a word, but I like it) stuff I needed, memory, processor speed, stuff I don’t know what it means but the guru said was good, I was crushed! We went to Texas Roadhouse; the new restaurant in town, cuz Mike still got his lunch. I had a Legendary Margarita the size of my head. It helped a little. Mike said “don’t worry; it will be in the ad tomorrow so they will have to have them then.” He got up and went to Best Buy Sunday morning to be there at opening and guess what, they are still out of them. I did not want to go this time just in case! See? I was right. They promised him they were getting lots of them in on Monday night’s truck.
      I went again with cash in hand and high hopes in my heart on Tuesday and……. Yes! Yes! Yes! They had them. Long story short, well as short as I can make them, I got a new computer for my new venture and a very good margarita the size of my head.
Yes, I actuall took a photo of my margarita!
