Got my Dexter Fix

I never mentioned how I finally discovered Netflix streaming this past December.  I was ecstatic to have a week off between Christmas and New Years and thanks to Eldest, finally joined the bandwagon that is Netflix streaming.I looked through my choices and saw that I could watch Dexter--a show that I'd heard others mention.

And oh, it was good.  I'd crack up the boys when they'd see me on the laptop every chance I could get and even talking to their friends' parents about it.  Sure I tried to space out the episodes, but by the end of the week I had watched the first two seasons.  It is just too easy on Netflix to watch one after the other.

So I looked for Season 3...and it is not available on streaming! I was so blindsided!  I signed up for an actual dvd to be sent to me from Netflix but found out it was unavailable.  I was desperate and shopped around and bought season 3 on Amazon!!  It was a deal.  By the time I got it, it was perhaps February.  Then, season 4 WAS available on dvd at Netflix, but get this--all four discs do not arrive at once.  They arrive one at a time.  To to help space it out and make my Dexter last somehow I had the willpower toi get a dvd for the kids in between my Dexter dvds. 

I have been Dexter-less for a couple of months.  That's because I've been saving the very last dvd for now.  The week that I am alone.  Like a celebration.  Or part of my ritual (eeewww--Dexter had his rituals too).  So last week I returned a non-Dexter dvd that had been in the house for weeks.  But then with everything else going on in my world, I completely forgot to make the last disc of Dexter season 4 on the top of my queue.  I was all ready to check out my mailbox for Dexter and I realized something else was already on its way to me!!  Desperate again.  I called Netflix, ready to increase my subscription from a "one dvd" to a "Two dvd" plan and get the Dexter disc to me asap. 

I spoke to a rep named Walker (yes, I had a crush instantly) and explained that I was trying to get the last disc of Dexter now that the guys in my house were away for a week (can you believe me??) and instead I am getting a movie that was meant for them, but I have to see Dexter.  And Walker, told me he would send it out right away and I didn't even have to sign up for the other plan. 

It came in the mail yesterday.  I was a little disappointed that the last disc only had ONE episode on it.  I tried to play it......but none of the four remotes and I could figure out how to do it.  And the guys have the laptop.  And youngest has the portable dvd player with him.  Yes, I was that desperate to consider watching it on a 7-inch portable dvd player.  And the techno gurus of the house were....incommunicado at the campground on the north side of the Grand Canyon.

But tonight I got my Youngest on the phone and he walked me through it--it took about 8 buttons on two remotes.  I was so grateful.  And now I am done with Dexter until Season 5 comes on dvd in August.

So it is off to join the guys on roads like this:

Seeing some crazy things like this:

And crossing over bridges that are famous and not so famous like this:

I may be late to post about the Full Strawberry Moon in June but it is on June 15th--hope it shines bright on you!
