Technology Whore

If I liked Christmas, I’d say that it was better than December 25. But  I’m a dyed in the wool grinch, so I’ll say that it was better than getting a DQ ice cream cake for my birthday. And almost as good as finding a pair of Arturo Chiang spike heels that make my short-person legs look miles long. For Half price.  Just in time for the office Christmas party (AKA that event where Tiffany, in spite of various warnings, gets hammered, becomes a giggling fool and almost exposes her breasts in public).

Two big boxes came from Purolator. I opened the one that was clearly marked “Medtronic” and squealed. Four FREE sensors. My very own brand spanking new 522, a new glucometer, reservoirs and infusion sets and pump clips – Oh My!

And the cherry: a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. I’m not ashamed to admit that I squealed and bounced when I saw that box; what can I say, I’m a technology whore. And this is my very first laptop computer, my foray into wireless. I am sitting in bed as I type this – how cool is that?? Of course my expanding ass won’t thank me but hey, everything needs a purpose! I even have the perfect case in mind! Eeeeeeh!!

It’s even more exciting than my first digital camera (which I purchased three years ago and regret to this day – Cybershot sucks my big toe), and my first flat screen LCD television. Though when I finally get my Canon Xsi it’ll definitely be the coolest thing on the block. ‘Cause hey, I’m fickle like that.  But back to what I was saying.

Did I happen to mention that I’m WiFi-ing at this very moment? (I don't know how Wifi is spelled and I'm too lazy to google it, so whatev) Writing my second, yes you read that right - Second post of the day. Two posts in one day. Guiness beer book, here I come!

As for the pump and related paraphernalia, well, they remain unopened and will until my insurance claim is approved. Which will hopefully be finalized within the week - fingers and toes crossed, people. (Yeah, I opened the laptop and booted it up – sympathy please; it was too much!)

In the meantime, my new little laptop and I are going to head on over to The Best Blog. Ever. Why don’t you join us?
