Say what???

Could this be for real?  a telescope for your iphone?  It comes with a clear plastic case that the tele attaches to....crazy or what?  Ok, i have got to get this gadget!! I am thinking Christmas...now if they could come up with a way to take pics indoors and at night with the phone.....WOWZERS... 

My problem at the moment

is that I am a bit obsessed with my phone... I went out with some gals back in february, stuck my phone in my jeans and went to wash them the next day...washing my phone.  Every cell phone i have had has met with disasters of the H2O kind!  anyhoo,  last time i "synced" the phone, it took 6 hours....my impatience was running on L-O-W....most of that was the backup time and  downloading the newest version.  I took off a bunch of apps and streamlined some ringtones....(btw..myxer.com=free ringtones, very, very cool).  so we shall see how long this sync takes...the backup was really quick this time, unsure what that is all about....I am thinking user error :)  that would not be a big surprise

Change....

II

I love this time of year when all the trees begin to change.  It is not nearly as pretty here in Texas as it is in much of the country but all the same, it sure is nice to see.  When we lived in Virginia and Atlanta, it was spectacular!  It also reminds me  that supposedly things are going to "change" now ....i suppose time will tell if that is a good thing or a bad thing.   And I suppose it all depends on if YOU profit from the change or not....that seems to be the driving force behind the elections....$$$$$$.....but I for one vote for it being a good thing for those who help themselves....

of course with the change in the season, i get an awful bad headache....hummmm......or is that also from the election?  

 

I have this vase...

And I really like it ;)

THAT BOY!

yesterday while Emily was at piano, grace, will and i headed over to sprouts to grab some fruits and veggies...will LOVES to touch everything in site...especially things that "break"!  of course this was no exception....he likes to run his hands down the cans and jars like you would a keyboard....ok for cans, NOT ok for jars....he did it to the spaghetti sauce, "No WILL don't do that", over in the grapefuits...touch, touch, touch..."WILL, NO SIR"...while we were checking out, there is salsa stacked to high for salsa to be stacked.  "WILL!  Do not touch anything else, if you do you will be grounded!"  on the WAY OUT THE DOOR there are some sorta bottles of lemonade or some healthy for you breakable crap, and again..he just cannot help himself....down the bottles go his hands.  I just STOP..."William, what did I just say to you?  Not to touch anything right?  You are grounded from your DS"...then he chimes in "and the computer too for 2 days? I know MOM!!!" (it would appear he has heard this before)....he growls at me and says between clenched teeth..."you make me so mad sometimes, YOU are grounded from your PHONE...so there!"...WOW...he really nailed that one :)  Damn funny kid!  but yes, he is grounded...

This picture was early 2003, just a month or two after Will came home!  look at those stinkin cheeks!!!!

Light the Night

The girls and i headed to Frisco Saturday for a Light the Night walk in honor of Kim Irvin. It was held at Dr. pepper park...I had never been there, really nice place.It was a goodtime and we felt so honored to have been able to hang out with the Irvin clan, all day really!  (they had a get together that afternoon before heading to frisco). Blake got tired and had to ride on his dads shoulders most of the way.  We all had red balloons, while survivors had white and those who lost loved ones had gold.  When we got to the end and keith cut his and let it go, I got a bit teary eyed.  the girls of course did not understand the symbolism. It has been 2 years now since Kim passed away and i honestly do not know how keith does it. Cole seems to be doing ok and blake is so young that he just does not understand, but it breaks my heart to be with maddie, she just looks so sad sometimes.  she has gotten a lot "happier" each year and does not seem to shy away from things as much, but she still does not like unfamiliar situations and you can see the fear in her eyes.  when she is with me and i catch her thinking....i always wonder what she is thinking about, I really like spending times with maddie and look forward to her hanging with us on those girl scout days...

Halloween!!

yeah, it was halloween and the kids and I apparantly really like black..who knew?    I did not realize that we were all in black until someone made a comment about it....HELLO....duh!  anyhoo, emily's hair was suppose to be purple, the top of the ozone unfriendly can said so...wrong!  I really wanted to be a grandma...got the moumou, short stockings, glasses, wig and all...but got outvoted by the other two witches.  the boy you ask?  NOT a warlock...duh!  how many warlocks pull rabbits out of their hats people?  He was a magician...yet again, duh!

It was fun and it was FRIDAY night!  thank goodness.....

we have candy, A LOT of candy, I am so sick of candy...and cannot believe i just wrote that....I realize that I have NO self control!  i always suspected, but now it is blatantly obvious!  

I am still trying to figure this blogger deal out, so forgive me. I DO NOT and WILL NOT re-read and make corrections to these posts...I like them in all their original form!  and i am too lazy to give a damn! i am going to play around with it for a while before letting folks know it is here and available for them to view on an hourly basis :)  ha....in the meantime, i am writing to myself!  And am sorta digging it!  it is kinda like "the other me"....hummmm!!!  and yes i love .... and !!! and :) and  ;p~
