Things to do while waiting for the UPS guy..

Waiting for him to bring my new 40d!!!! -Thnks JC4!!-

#1. Clean out your e-mail box. Again.

#2. Your cat is asleep in your lap. Gently pull back its upper and lower lips, revealing a mouth full of teeth. Say "Grrrr" as you do so. Repeat until cat leaves.

#3. Write this forum post.

#5. Forget about #4 because your too excited.

#6. Clean off your CF cards so you have plenty of space.

#7. Buy accessories for your new piece of equipment.

#8. Buy more accessories FOR your accessories . . . .

Anyone care to add? Hehe Keep me entertained lol

Put the dog outside to alert you when UPS is arriving Train them to hear the truck miles away.

Oh, wait, you have a cat.... n/m lol.

lol I do have 2 dogs... the yonly weigh 5 pounds, but they sound like they weigh 100 lbs. They'll alert me when the door rings. I'd put them outside to await the ups guy.. but it's -8 right now haha

One more.. repeatedly check the UPS Tracking Information even though you know it's not going to say anything different.. heh

Put lipstick on so when the ups guy comes you can give him a big SMOOCH haha

Shop for the next item...

Look at Speedlights, handstraps and straps.
check out pbase and plan shooting safaris
check tracking information. Yep still "out for delivery"
Stop checking tracking information, because that is just silly and we're way too old too be this excited about a new piece of gear.
Shop for lenses. Mostly L's, then read threads on Tamrons and Sigmas.
The read thread on Tokinas.
Check out Pbase.
Accidentally check tracking information.

Oh my, as I found this thread, I went to my check on my packages, two are suppose to be delivered today. Refresh.... item not found! o.O

Congrats on your purchase! Read up on the 40d manual while you wait

Train your 5-pound dogs to sit in the window and watch for brown trucks. If necessary, put in a window facing the right direction.

IT's here IT's here! My new 40d!~ Yay!!!!!!
And my first picture .. They were right.. this is like going from a Toyota Echo to a beamer .. it fits in my hand so perfectly..

Don't forget to update your sig to reflect your new gear.

I'm currently anticipating the arrival of a 5dmk1 as well as a Canon 50 1.4. But I won't make a thread about it like you. Haha.
