Did I just have a weekend?

April 7th, 2003 · 5 Comments

I’m getting better at typing without my middle finger. Although what this will mean when I’m all healed up, I haven’t decided.

My dad told us last night that he’s buying all four of us kids notebook computers as an end-of-the-Project present (he’s been working on a consulting project for the last 4 years). I was flabbergasted. I won’t say that I’m spoiled rotten, but I certainly have better parents than I deserve. This means that I’ll most likely be selling Ginny, if I *can* sell her. One of my co-workers has expressed an interest. Since her battery is dead, I won’t be able to get as much out of her as I’d like, but we’ll see what happens.

This weekend was busy, but very nice. Conference weekend is always wonderful– there’s nothing like hearing counsel from the Prophet and the Apostles. I’m still trying to recover from Ladies’ Night at Deseret Book, though.

    It means that you’ve developed the art of flipping off the person next to you while never stopping your typing.

    I was planning on coming to Ladies Night, but I ended up going to a bridal shower for Kimberly. (my aunt Hollie’s sister who is getting married at Provo Towne Center this week…center court)

    For any that are reading this, the notebook computers are not really a preset, but rather an highly inflated payment for work that all my children did on my project. This includes actual labor, plus any metal suffering caused by the lack of father’s availability, no family vacations, etc.

    (Just wanted to clear that up)

    So basically, you’re giving us really nice computers in an attempt to over-compensate for your feelings of guilt. Got that right? :)

    I must emphasize the *highly inflated* part. We did some work, but not a laptop’s worth of work. So it’s still Dad being extremely generous. Thanks, Dad.
