for me?

Knock, knock on the door. 

Hi, UPS-man.  Nice to see you this morning.  You in all your head-to-toe-brownness.  (Could the higher-up’s not be consulted as to the possibility of incorporating one more pigment into your uniforms…just a thought).  

Here you are, and top of the morning to ya, although to be perfectly frank, I heard you approximately 30 seconds before you arrived, roaring up the street.  (Why incidentally, do you use my cul-de-sac to do wheelies?)

For me?  A printer?  Oh, you silly man you.  That is not mine. 

 Hello!  I am a female.  I would not conceive of ordering a printer.  There is obviously a mistake.  I cannot sign the dotted line.

Sure there’s not a cute pair of shoes nestled in your truck of tricks out there?  Your sleigh of goodwill and cheer.  Sure there is not something remotely fashion-related out there?

Just this, eh? 

Well.   Let me think.  There was this one time I had mentioned to Pat: “I would love to have a printer that prints graphics.  So I could make cards and photo transfers for shirts and such”.  But that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

I mean, none of those dresses I ever liked ever flew on the wings of a dove to my house.  The Gap + Pat’s credit card never came through for me, so why this?

One could say that I am loved woman.  You could even argue that my husband is the sweetest, noblest knight to ever wield a sword.

Or, we could all just be honest.  Call a spade a spade.  And acknowlege the fact that this here Pixma MX860 toy…

… it’s TOTALLY for him.

Wink:).

    I still remember the time I came to visit and Pat was SO excited to see me. I quickly learned he was excited because I could keep you company while he played with his new computer :)

    I must say I go with the noble conclusion…Can’t help but think there are other techie things Pat would probably choose before that…Having said that, I’m sure he will love playing with it…Looking forward to the results of your joint effort….
