Touchdown

I've only refreshed my web browser 25 times in the last 30 minutes. That's actually pretty far below average for the last few hours. My diamond guy mailed out my diamond yesterday. I should have told him to wait until just a little bit before it was supposed to arrive to send me the tracking info because this is brutal. I don't think I have ever been so excited, or so aware, when one of my packages reached Louisville, Kentucky, or Chantilly, or Springfield...not that I was checking...every minute. The plane has touched down, and my diamond is on the ground.  

So then I decided to google "ups tracking addiction" and see if anyone else shared the same nervous tick. It turns out they do! In 10 seconds, I found the exact program I needed. Unfortunately, my diamond should probably hit its undisclosed location (not my house, so don't even try to come rob me) pretty soon here.

I actually kind of want to send it back and have it mailed again so I can use the Package Mapping program I found to ease my anxiety. Sounds like a sweet program. You make an account, enter your package info, and it sets up the tracking as an RSS feed, so all you have to do is check your RSS. If there has been an update, you get a new headline. Click the headline, and it opens up a google map with the entire package route with highlights for the locations where it has been scanned. Since my diamond is just about here, I think I'm going to go buy something else right now, preferebly less expensive than a diamond, just so I can try this!

Anyway, you probably guessed that the picture up at the top of the post is the dimaond I bought, that after 25,000 bike tune-ups, I could finally afford the 10.2 carat diamond that my lovely girl deserves. That was a bad guess. There's no way I could have done that many tune-ups in just a week. Seriously, do the math.

Although I haven't done quite 25,000 tune-ups yet, and my stone isn't quite that big, it will look delightfully big, beautiful, and shiny on her hand. Ah! I can't wait to get my diamond! I can't wait to put in on her finger! I can't wait for her to be mine and for me to be hers!!!!
