I don't often crave the newest gadgets and such, but I find that I want an iPhone in the worst way. My current phone is a piece of crap. Has been since the day I got it and I've literally been waiting 2 years for the contract to expire so that I can switch because I didn't want to pay for a different one. I wish the iPhone wasn't exclusive to AT&T. I swore I'd never go back to The Man again and now here I am, trying my best not to bat my eyelashes at him and giggle and swish my hair.
Pam's youngest daughter is moving to Chicago to go to school. I am meeting the two of them tonight for dinner. I wanted to get her just a little gift to take so I got a box of magnetic poetry, the college edition. I really want to not cry when I see her. I go months without seeing her now, but somehow knowing that she is moving out of state is really making me weepy this week. It's not an overstatement to say that I helped raise her and her sister from the time she was a year old. I know I'll have to be a dork tonight and remind her that the first day I met her, Pam had decided it would be Anna's last day on the bottle. Anna used to love to have me tell that story and I never grew tired of repeating it.
Chris is going on the men's retreat from church this weekend. He leaves this evening (though I won't see him beforehand) and returns late Sunday afternoon. I'm looking forward to some alone time. Plus, he's been a complete turd lately and I hope that the time away does him some good and he comes home with a better 'tude. I can honestly say that I think my 'tude has been remarkable, considering how he's been acting.
I love Facebook FarmTown and I'm not too proud to admit it. I was telling the lovely Ally yesterday that it's like playing Barbie without the awful dolls. I know that doesn't exactly sound like a positive thing, but it is. I just like organizing the stuff; the buildings, the flowers and the designs keep me entertained for longer than I'd like to admit. Oh and I have $1.2 million dollars to boot. Errr, coins, actually. If only there were an exchange office for that.
I've decided not to subscribe to Sirius after my trial is up. If I don't go with the iPhone, I'm going to put that same subscription money away each month, toward an iPod. (I'll get an iSomething outta this somehow.) I have an iPod shuffle but the port in my car doesn't support it. It wants the real thing. And so do I. I use mine less and less because all the songs seem so tired; there's not enough variety.
My home computer died. From what I can piece together, it happened a couple weeks ago during a very nasty thunderstorm. I don't get online at home every day and so it had been several days since I'd tried. When I went to log on, it wouldn't boot up. Near as I can recall, the last time I'd used it was before the storm. Chris says he has a friend who might be able to look at it to see if it's actually dead or just mostly dead. I'm not terribly motivated to do otherwise, so I'll wait and see if he follows through on it.
Monday is a Yellow Sheet Day for me. I'm taking Indi to the vet for her annual exam, shots, etc. That's gonna be a pretty penny. Especially when I add on a few months of flea medicine. I can complain about the money all I want, but she's worth it. She still saves my sanity on a daily basis, I swear, and this weekend, it'll be just the two of us. I can hardly wait.
Peace.
6 ringy dingy:
My hubby is going to a meeting tonight and I am SO looking forward to my time alone! I sorta wish he'd be gone for a weekend.....I can relate to hubby's being turds - mine has sat at his computer for 3+ hours with his headphones on - how rude! My two doggies are great too except my 5 month old keeps getting up at the crack of early?! Grrrrr! It was good to hear your update - I'm on facebook too - if you are interested, I'll tell you how to find me on there or vice versa.
A weekend at home with the pooch sounds marvelous! Thanks for the update, it really has been too long.
It's too bad we can't use FT coins to purchase things in real life, no? (I had this conversation with another FT addict friend just the other day.) (1.2 million? YIKES and WOW, friend! Did you rob the FT bank??)
I like the iPhone, too, but I cannot ever return to AT&T. And I can't tolerate the idea of paying the monthly service fees to be able to use it (or any other similar phone). But, oh, the fun things you can do with it!
As for the weekend alone-YAY! Sometimes it is good to be on your own. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that.
So, you won't see this until Tuesday. M'kay!
I say get the iPod, send it to me, I'll load it with enough music you will never need touch it again. Seriously.
And annoying husbands sounds like it's going around.
Is Chris attending the Great Banquet/Walk To Emmaus/Cursillo weekend? (Same event, different denominations.) If so, he will come home a changed man. If you ever have a chance to attend the women's version, I highly recommend it.
I hate that the iPhone is attached to AT&T. I want one so badly, but their coverage is pitiful. I do like my BlackBerry, though.
We finally broke down and got the Iphone and I have to admit it's become like my pet. I loke loading new apps, checking my email and reading new blog entries while on conference calls. :)
And about the Sirrus radio, I bet if you call them, they'll give you a pretty good offer to renew for a few months or a year. I did that with our XMRadio. When the 3 free months were up with the new car, I called to cancel and they offered me three more months for only a few bucks per month. When I called after those months were up, I got a full year for almost 65% their regular price. Doesn't hurt to try!
