New Flip Ultra!
Today was the best day!! It started out like any other…crying, fighting, biting. You know, the usual. Then in the afternoon, I was reading posts at momdot.com. It seemed that some cool new Flip camcorders were showing up on peoples doorsteps. I was so jealous! Just this morning I had been reading a TQCast review on the Flip Mino and I wanted one BAD. Me and the hubby talked about getting one, but really, we couldn’t afford it.
Then I was reading the forums and it seemed that the people that were getting the Flips belonged to the WalMart Beyond 11 Mom’s community. Holy crap! I belong to that group!! Could it be possible? Could a new Flip be on it’s way to little ole me? I got very hopeful. I tried not to think about it to much…but I was out the door, checking the mail, looking for a delivery truck. Not more than 20 mins later, UPS showed up in my drive way. Again, holy crap! He handed me a little box. I tore it open and behold! A little green (exclusive at WalMart) Flip Ultra. I just about jumped out of my skin. Cool shit like this does NOT happen to me. Ever.
I couldn’t contain myself. I wanted to call someone…hubby was already in transit towards home and my mom didn’t answer her phone. Bummer. Nobody to share the news with. What a shame. Finally, my husband pulled in the drive (15 mins late). I rushed out giggling like a school girl. I couldn’t help it! He just started laughing at me (his usual reaction). I think I pulled a muscle in my achilles. That hurt. But the pain was overshadowed by how happy I was.
I just want to make sure that WalMart knows how extremely happy I am. They are the ones showering me with gifts today. I am so grateful to be part of their Beyond 11 Moms Community and can’t believe my good fortune! Blogging Rocks!
Here is a little note from my son. I’ll be back in a few days to offer a “proper” review of the new camcorder. Until then…
[...] don’t get it. I guess I’m “old fashioned.” I did get a new Flip Ultra video camera yesterday, so maybe I’ll try it out and then I’ll [...]
I am loving mine too!!
Wow! That is a great surprise! It looks like it takes great video too. I will have to check it out! What is the Walmart Beyond 11 community? Thanks for linking to Show off your blog Saturday! Hope you join us again tomorrow!
