My Dad is Awesome


About two weeks ago, I was talking to my dad online, just talking about being in Texas and stuff, telling him about adjusting and whatever, and how I had been watching a lot of Scrubs. And I also mentioned how I couldn't watch Corner Gas here, because they don't have cable, and I looked online, and you can only watch it online if you are in Canada, which I am not.

So then he told me he was ordering Corner Gas, and I told him he'd have to let my borrow them when he was done. He said they were headed for Texas. I was online, but it is one of the only times I can remember feeling speechless. I was so touched that my dad was going to send these to me. So thanks dad.

Anyway, so this week has been a drama of actually getting them. They "tried" to deliver them on Monday. We were all here all day, and did not hear the doorbell or hear the door knocked on, but we got a slip saying they had tried to send them. So that was annoying, and then they didn't try the next day, and we reread the slip, and it said it was the final notice. So on Wednesday, we put the signed slip in the mailbox, so he could deliver them. Thursday...they don't come. Friday...they still didn't come. I have no idea how the USPS broke down. I have never had such problems. Just goes to show, maybe Texas is right when they say they are Texas, not the US. In the US, they know how to deliver packages. So I went and picked it up from the post office. I had decided against this on Tuesday, because I thought - hey, the mail guy is already coming, so if it takes a little more time, I will be saving the gas, and helping the environment.

So now, to calm down, I am going to sit back, and enjoy some Corner Gas.
