#febphotoaday : my view today

the neighbor kids came

not to shovel

but to fairy my flurries away

might we borrow a cup of snow please?

blasphemy this

All that shopping wore him out. Pippin doesn't feel like playing at the moment.

if the display model isn't in stock

Hem and haw
Triple check the stats on all the other devices you really don't want to buy
Ask the overpaid-vacanteyed-stupidbored associate to check the warehouse. Again.
Sigh.
Sigh again.
Ask some more redundant questions.
Check the second, third, fifth and fourth choices for respective stats.
Get a little twisted about memory, processors and Ghz when it's really about as clear as mud.
Sigh again.
Get in a rut over whether to wait and get the first choice another day or fulfill the Instant Satisfaction Now Dammit need with a semi sufficient but really unsatisfactory item.
Watch wife blog hamster wheel scenario.
Sigh

as we lounge in bed

Me: grumblegrumble nonononononnoooo

Husband: What's wrong?

Me: I won't do it. I won't be the person who has to post scores from every AngryBirds-SimsBuilding-WordsWith-Farmville-ZombieApocolypse game I could possibly play on my FB. It's like viral spam from loved ones. I see the status updates and barely stop myself from hitting DELETED ACT or UNFRIEND THIS!

Husband: Sure you won't.

Me: Nope! No way! Absolutely not! That's enough to get your minivan keyed, house egged and bike tires flattened. I would feed you to the starving zombies myself! Now if I can only setup the new stupid phone to behave correctly.

Husband: Just wait.

pwned much?

Step 1: Play with exciting new iPhone apps.
Step 2: Feel giddy after recovering from 6-18 months of withdrawals
Step 3: Have pet remind you of the priority higherarchy in the house

f-to-the-ya

After 18 painful months I have a functioning smart phone. Let the #febphotoaday (see fat-mum-slim), redundant photo aps and contentedness begin!
Sadly the wasted excuses of military assisting phone people on base (ahem: TKS) screwed the husband and he has to wait on additional 24 hours.

I will mourn for you over this awesome glass of blackberry sweet tea.

whatabout wednesday

1. it's the day before we may finally get our free iPhone 4s via contract and without a bajillion dollars of pocket.
2. it's the day before the day I can stop carrying my nano, broken iPhone (for gps purposes), retarded temp cell and work cell all at the same time (but who's keeping track)
3. it's the day I got to see the awesomeness which will be Husband's surprise 11th anniversary gift on 12Feb (if I told you and he was blog snooping, for once, it wouldn't be a surprise!) (if you know you can FB me directly or shhh about it!)
4. it's the 3rd day of a communal inconvenient stomach bug. Ew and Thanks for Sharing but no one appreciates leaving a party early to find your own personnel toilet. I'm just saying.
5. it's the day I forget about grammar punctuation and some spelling entirely
6. it's not the day I post the new hat pattern
7. it's the day I pick up two studies worth of Bible Study to not include our little bedtime read. If one is doing biblical gluttony for God is is still a sin?
8. it's the day that I drop an entire 12 pack of soda on the ground in the military grocery parking lot and not only do cans explode everywhere but for once manners are dead and NO ONE can stop too help. stupid caffeine addiction
9. it's the day that I get all hyped up to do some new blog designs but haven't the free time to actually implement said brain explosions
10. there seems to be an explosions theme, and with the teenage humor in full scope I bid you adieu and the end of this list

slouch this

After 13+ failed attempts
After going cross eyes from consulting mr google's plethora of crocheted slouchy ha patterns
After the cat decided green yarn was the new it toy
After a 5 hour paint brush session and an ugly sinus headache
I decided to press the envelope one last time
I'm fairly happy with this 3 hour-while-sidetracked-with-NCIS-tacos-and-a-nap project

yes, a pattern will follow, just via the Internet and not another iPhone post

addiction defined

I've been having way too much fun playing with the Camera+ Ap. Move over Instagram, you have been replaced!
