I blame the guys from Dad.FM for my newest obsessive compulsive-ness. They told me about apps that let you know if a shipment has been generated for your address from Fed Ex or UPS. Well, on Sunday Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars comes out and I am going to be getting a review copy of the game. So, I’ve been checking the apps to see if a shipment notification has been generated and last night at work I noticed that I had one! It told me that the package was coming and will be here monday by 10:30am. Great, because I sleep on Mondays and when I wake up the game should be at the house.
But then I got another message saying that the package may be delayed and that UPS was going to try and get me the package by Saturday. Not sure if that would be today or next Saturday. I checked the app over and over and it did not update and the package did not come. I got into work and saw that the package had gone from Valencia, CA to Van Nuys, CA. And most recently I checked at that information is not longer showing, it is like the package went back a few steps. It now says order processed, ready for UPS. What the heck! I certainly hope it arrives on Monday, now. some of my friends have already received the game. The Toy Queen got hers and I hounded her to find out what came in the box. I need to know before I attempt any hunting tomorrow with the release of the game. She told me and she also made this video.
Well now, I definitely cannot wait until Monday. I hope that UPS pulls through for me.
With today being the last day before Eva and Allison return to school on which I was not working we decided to have a family fun day that included a few things. First we went to Chuck E. Cheese’s for lunch and a couple of hours of play. I do enjoy going there because we have a good time and the pizza is enjoyable. I get to play a few racing games and get to see the excitement in the kids faces when they win tickets. Andrew is still thrilled to win one or two and Eva is starting to get more skilled. Allison excels at Skee Ball and she brought in a bunch of tickets for the kids. I get the tickets by buying the deals and then taking online surveys. sure the kids win cheap plastic crap but they have fun doing it.
Later that night we watched Star Wars for the first time ever. Eva has seen Star Wars Rebels before but she has never seen Star Wars the movie. I had purchased the Digital Movie pack with all six movies but a strange thing about that is that you can only watch A New Hope through the Google Play app and there was no way for me to get it on the TV. I wonder if having a Chromecast device would make that possible. Well, I tried several different ways to get the movie and then just bit the bullet and bought it through amazon.com so we could watch it whenever on many devices.
Eva did a good job with the movie. There were a ton of things that she noticed from watching Star Wars Rebels. She decided that Darth Vader wasn’t as scary as she had thought or made him out to be. she was glad that she watched the movie and now she wants to watch Empire. I’m more than happy to watch the movies with her and the order in which we will do things will be Movies 4-6, 1-2, the Clone Wars, 3 and then when she is older, 7.
