My new phone

I recently got a new phone that has a slide out keyboard for texting and such. Well, I find that I'm the entertainment for my children now. It's fun for them to see me try and figure the thing out since my other phone was very basic. I thought it was funny that when your kids are growing up, you laugh at them sometimes when you watch them try and figure some things out for themselves. Now...as you age the tables turn and your adult children are laughing at you as they watch you struggle with new technology. I think I have figured out the phone but I did have to spend a little time at it. It's all "change" and that's not easy for some of us for some reason. I'm a good sport though, and I tell them I'm just here for their entertainment. Some day their children will be laughing at them too. LOL

Amazon Kindle

I was asked around Christmas whether or not I would like to have a Kindle. I had read about them and knew what they were but wasn't at all sure I would like not holding an actual book with pages to turn in my hands.

I had gotten a coat for Christmas that didn't fit. We returned it and since I had received yet another coat for Christmas, I decided not to replace it. I had just about enough money from the return to consider the Kindle. I got brave and ordered the darn thing! LOL.

Turns out, I LOVE it! It has been so much fun browsing the Amazon Kindle store for books at either a much cheaper price than an actual book or even for free! I would reccomend it to anyone who likes to read and is on the fence about getting one.

I have just totally enjoyed it! (I acutally might have been on here more if I hadn't gotten one. LOL..I've been busy reading.)

Anyway, if you are wondering if it is a good thing, I say "Go for it!"

Ups and downs

Well...what can I say? It's been a while since I've been here doing one of the things I like to do best. Life has been so crazy that I've been overwhelmed and couldn't add one more thing to my days it seems.

Both my sons have had health issues. Need I say what that does to the Mom? Even though I know they are safely in the arms of God, being the human that I am, I worry.

It seemed like the job change I made from office assistant to Customer Service Rep. was an adjustment that took all the energy and focus I had for a while. Is it a good thing that my friend insomnia is back? (Isn't there some song about that? If you are a reader and know the answer to that, I'd like to know.) I also have Myspace and Facebook accounts that I try and keep up with.

Always, always, there are friends and family that need thoughts and prayers, not to mention those people in Japan. Wow! I cannot seem to wrap my mind around such an event. I see videos and read the stories but due to the fact that we are so far away, it's hard to feel close to it all. I was thankful that my brother wasn't over there on one of his business trips when it all went down. If you are from Japan and are reading this, you all have my sympathy. I pray God will hold you all in the palm of his hand. This is one of those events that I cannot understand in my human state. God only knows....
