ALL I NEED IN THIS LIFE OF SIN, IS ME AND MY iPHRIEND...
After the tragedy of losing my beloved blackberry, I was humbled by the more than 6 weeks I had to use a bootleg cell phone. A pre-paid sort that slides. I couldn't stand it! Texts took me forever. I didn't even try to get MMS. It was just wrong, all the way around. I researched and probed many people and asked them: new blackberry or iphone?
Problem solved folks! I am officially ready for 2010.
I went ahead and got a 3GS. Here's how it went down. Eligible for my phone upgrade Snow Storm Saturday. Monday, got to work. Logged onto to my computer. 9:30am walked across the street to the phone store. 10:30 walked back to office with shopping bag of goodies. 10:30 to 5:15...played on phone. Hell, I didn't even eat lunch! My boss is out all this week so it seemed completely logical. Many people are like, you're going to be playing with that thing for the next MONTH. Wouldn't be surprised in the least!
Now, I appreciated my blackberry. But I think that it was better suited for business folks and people that really really really need to be in touch (with some damn body), especially via email. I also loved that it had an actual keyboard.
But in relative terms, I'm still young. I wanted to have fun with my phone, so I went with the iPhone. I brought it home Monday night and showed my baby girl...she said, "They really do have an app for everything. I thought that was a joke!".
I then handed her the bootleg phone, charger and owner's manual. Told her it wouldn't work until I got it turned on in June. She didn't care. I imagine she'll be like me and pretend with it like I used to do with my mother's old checkbooks. So she ran upstairs and promptly dropped it on the floor. CLASSIC.
In other fantastic news, my hubby - best f'ing man in the world - is buying me a car for Christmas! That's right folks...a car! This is not a commercial, so "its not a Benz" (hubbys words) but its a car! Tell me how many other people you know have actually gotten a car for Christmas. When we decided to not put up a tree or decorations this year, I told the kids its cuz, "MY CAR WON'T FIT UNDER THE TREE!!!!".
Very pleased am I with that revelation. Special shout out to my mother in law who let it slip right before Thanksgiving!
So as I cruise into 2010, I almost feel like a new woman. A new car. A new phone. Same husband and same great life. Truly blessed is the only real way to put it.
This year, there were so many reasons for us to be down: economy, housing slump, unemployment, etc. But remember to recognize your blessings because we all have them, and they are usually in abundance - we just don't know it.
