Excitement

well, i spent my christmas money yesterday! i am finally the owner of my very own.............laptop!! i am so excited. i kept seeing it across the room and thinking, oh, ryan's home....no WAIT!! that's mine!! haven't done too much with it yet. another cool part of it was that i bought a different laptop, and the "geek squad" at bestbuy had to check it out, and get the bestbuy stuff off of there because it turned out to be the display. they said they'd call me in an hour/hour and a half. after 3 hours, i just went there, figuring they must have lost my phone no., but no, the comp kept freezing when they tried to reload the gateway stuff. so, they told me to look for a comparable one. of course, there were none, except for pricier. so, they gave me a better one for only a little more. i am sure glad that i didn't get the first home, and discover it was crap (probably after 14 days), since, of course, i couldn't afford the service plan which was $300 more.

i got a call at 8am yesterday from grandpa, waking me up. he just wanted to tell me he slept well, ate breakfast, had a good bm (tmi), and was reading the paper. then, about a minute later, he repeated the exact above statements. now, i'm glad he's fine, but he really doesn't have to wake me up to tell me that he is ok. if he's not, call me. but not if he's fine. at 8am. and the bm part was too much. next, he'll start telling me the color of his pee.

ryan, i tried a bunch of times to respond on your blog, but it rejected me. sounds like a good book, but probably too technical for a non-history buff.
