I ordered my birthday present from Newegg.com on Monday – the Canon A520 digital camera. It was even on sale and qualified for $5.99 3-day shipping!
Myyyy preciousssssssss…
Now, I’m sitting here, looking at the tracking number information and I’m so frustrated that as of 2:00pm Central time, my camera is sitting somewhere in Des Moines, Iowa.
It’s a camera! It’s small! I’m sure you could fit it into today’s truck!
Now with the 3-day shipping, does that mean I’ll get it tomorrow, or Friday? The tracking thing says I’ll get it tomorrow…but I never trust those things. I really hope I do, because it’s getting sent to my work and I’m off on Friday for the house closing. I have to remember to get batteries and a bigger memory card today or tomorrow too.
The great thing about getting this camera – other than I’ve been dying without one since this summer – I’ll finally be able to put up my own photos on my Flickr pro account rather than ones other people took. Excellent.

You remind me of my own impatience about this time last year when I ordered my first PowerBook. And that took 2 weeks to come!! I had multiple near-death experiences, due to overhyperanticipationanxiety. So 3 days is a breeze!

I have that camera an absolutely love it… I talked Chris’ mom into getting it instead of a slightly cheaper one with higher resolution (but crap processor and other features) for Chris and her sister for Christmas. You’ll love it!
