Random family again

Now that I have my new phone. I was really excited to get home and play around with it. I was so excited that I got home, had to walk the dog Ozzy. I grabbed the dog, phone and his leash. I walked out of the door and locked it behind me. I then called my Mom on the new phone to ask her if she got my text with my new phone number. I told her to put my phone number in my dad's "flip phone" and did my Lil' Bro' get my messages. I was walking and talking, talked to the neighbor on and on. I have the "new Iphone"! When I returned home, I found out that I had locked myself out of the house. I had the unused poop bag in one pocket and that phone in the other. No house key. Really, I have lived in my spot for 7 years and have never locked myself out. At this point I had no phone number in the new phone. You see my phone numbers could not be ported from my old phone because it was a pre-pay phone. I had to purchase my minutes before the phone would work. The only nunmbers that I had in the phone was Big and Lil' Sis numbers. This was because I was texting Lil' Sis at the Apple store ealier and Big Sis sent me a text on the new phone. Thankfully, the only phone number that I remember is my Mom's home number and she has a key, so I thought. While outside, I texted the only 2 people that I had phone numbers. I hope they did not mind as one of these people along with my Mother says that I need to be closer to my phone and check it more often. Did not check the old phone when people texted me. Sorry! I was close to my phone while standing outside in the heat. After standing outside for what was like a life time, here comes help. I found out that my Mother cannot find the house key that I gave her, my Lil'Bro was the only one who could save me. I am going to have to have a little talk with my Mom about my house key. I did not lose the key to her house, why did she lose the key to my house! She then told me that my phone does not have any apps on it and the screen was too small. Ah! Mom, I've just purchased the phone 2 hours ago and have not downloaded any apps other than what comes with the phone. Give me a minute! Hello! I have knocked 2 things of my 45 in 45 list. Smart Phone and a Camera. I now have to learn how to put photos on this page. I do have another item to put on my list. Its returning to that strong person. But I've knocked that one of the list too. My soul it happy, happy! Live, Life, Love

new Iphone 5c

Yesterday, I purchased the new Iphone 5c. I love this phone. Let me tell you how it went down. A few days ago, I told my boss that I was purchasing this phone on the day it hit the shelves. I as told that I would not get the phone on the day it was released because of the buzz with the new phones. When she purchased the Iphone 5 a year ago, she had to wait 5 weeks because they were sold out. I thought that it may be true, the phones may be sold out. I told her you've got to have faith. I did say wouldn't that be funny if I just walked up to the store and purchased the phone. Well on Friday the 20th of September the day of the release. On the news, they showed lines and the local Apple stores. There were reports of the 5s being sold out and it could take a month before they would have more phones. OMG! I then drove by the Apple store on my way to work and saw the line around the building! OMG! OMG! I thought well this may not happen today. After working 4 hours, I then went to the store. The line was not around the building anymore. There was still a line. The "line master's" (Apple employee) said they still had phones but not the color that I wanted. Feeling bummed, I got out of the line and texted Lil' Sis' for some advise. She told me to get the black one and buy some covers/protectors later. So, I got back in line. I told the fella behind me with the steel studs pointing out of the chin that I have never stood in line for a phone before. He nodded and probably said to himself to leave me alone. The line kept moving and I was the 4th person from the door. They let us in side. Whew, I was hot outside! I then spoke with Tung. They had the phone and color that I as looking for along. II was happy, happy then. I called my boss to tell her that I was in the store and they had the phone and I am buying it today. She could not believe it. She was happy for me and that was a great feeling. Im glad that I turned arount and when back for the phone and did not give up. Iam now apart of the Apple family and now back on the grid! I love my new IPhone 5c! Live, Life, Love

new cell phone

Well, I have made the decision to purchase the IPhone 5c. I want the green one. In stead of pre-ordering the phone, I am going to go to the store and purchase it. I am hoping to not stand in line too long as I am really not a "stand in line for the newest kinda person". I know that I may be dreaming, however this is what I am going to do. Hopefully, I will just go and purchase it. I am moving into the age of the smartphone. The girls at work call my pre-pay phone a "drug dealers throw away phone". I've never really though at that. I just had a phone that dials out and takes incoming calls. it worked for my needs. Now I am going to be able to put pictures on my blog. Write more on my blog in real time...be in the moment. I think I am going to have some take a picture with me and the phone. I am so excited. Live, Life, Love

Well What Now

Today I found out that at the end of the year, I will lose my health insurance. In a round about way, I don't work for a very, very large insurance company. I work for an independant agent, I am called a team member. I was however able to be apart of the group health coverage. The Affordable Care Act has come along to help people get health insurance, but it has caused others to loose the coverage. I know I am not the only one in this position. What happened to the promise!! I really do not want to put this on my 45 in 45 list. This is really not worth it! HUMMMM...........Well girl what now. Live, Life, Love

random

Well, its been a while since I last wrote something. I don't have anything new to write about. I did look at a smart phone last weekend. I liked the Samsung Galaxy 4s phone. My Lil Bro has one and it does what I want it to do. I still want to look around to see what else is out in the market place. I've spoken with 2 people today about the phone they use. Its funny that these two random people who don't know one another say they don't like Apple. They said all of the things that I've heard on the news, i.e., the outside breaks easily, etc. I am still looking and will get something soon. As I mentioned, nothing new or exciting this week. I still have to post. I still want to keep the habit. Live, Life, Love

Random again/Family

The Scrub Daddy worked on my sink. What a great idea. However, I will never use the detergent for the dish washer again to clean anything other than the dishes in the dishwasher. This past Saturday, the Parents decided to go to San Diego. They drive over several times per year. The will drive just to get away for a few days. They will never let us kids go. We kids are not kids any more! I have wondered why can't I go with them. I only want to experience what they love about the city. My dad was in the Navy and I know he likes seeing the ships. But they always say no you cannot go with us. So I made up a story in my head and told them they go over to see there other family! I also said those kids must act much better than the 3 of us. Both of them just looked at me and said that "I was crazy". I have just about convinced my 2 brother that this is what they are doing. Also remember to always hit the "Save" button. While they were away, I stopped by the parent's home to check on Lil'Bro'. He was doing nothing, I mean absolutely nothing. We sat and talked about my future, where I am at in my life, where I want to go. I was fun to just sit and talk. Then one by one 2 of my 3 nephews (and Lit' Bro' who adopted us) show up and left. With each one of them, the conversation went to why should men have to pay child support. WWHHAATT! Mind you, that my nephews don't have kids and are not paying! I did say that if you make a child, then the child should be supported by both parents. We went round and round about this topic. They nor I will change my mind about it (well maybe when they grow up. They are in the early 20's. We then said our see you later's and parted ways. After all, it was Saturday night. On my way home, I again begin to think about how luck/blessed that I am. My nephew's hugged me, laughed with me, and wanted to be around me. That makes me very, very happy! Yeah! I am blessed. Live, Life, Love

Nothing exciting happened today. Get up, walk the dog, go to work, come home, walk the dog again and get prepaired to do the same thing tomorrow. I think that I will clean the kitchen sink. Last week, I decided to put the detergent that goes into the dishwasher into the sing. I had a little left in a bottle and I then decided to use that to clean the sink. Big Mistake! I now have some white film in the sink that will not go away. I think that I will use my Scrub Daddy to see if it will go away! I hope this works. "Thanks 6, 7 or 8 year old Palmolive. You will now sleep with the fishes! Live, Life, Love

45 in 45 Old Friends

Last Saturday, I went to dinner with Rae & Vanessa. I had not realized it has been a year since I've seen them. I had really thought that the girlfriend relation ship was nearing its end. I thought this because I am moving to another direction in my life and did not believe we were on the same page. I felt they were stuck in a place that I no longer belong. I have now realized that my journey is just that. My Journey! As we sat at Giesha A Go Go eating our California rolls talking about our past and our futures. I though that maybe I was wrong! Maybe these two old friends could understand the directions that I want to take in my life. I did let them know Its not them; its me! (that's funny). But, it really is me! These are relationships that I do want to continue. Its really important to me. Live, Live Love

45 in 45 series Grandma

Yesterday, I saw my Grandmother for the first time in a few months. I really feel ashamed as she is in an assisted living faciltiy not that far from my home. She is only about 9 miles from me. In my year of 45 in 45, I will go and see her more often. I don't have any excuses and will not do this again. I forgot how much fun visiting her can be. The had a singer named Jim Bean. Yes! Jim Bean. This is because he is about 6'5" and weights about 135. So, I get the Jim Bean. We sat and listed to him and my mind started wondering if I should have brought some Jim Beam! As we sat listining she asked me about 2 million times when she is going home. She asks thif often. I always tell her to ask my Uncle Leon. She says she will not as she does not want to bother him or upset him. I tell her but you will as me. She said yes but that is ok. OMG! can we care about possibly upsetting the Grandchild! Well, I guess not. I did ask her if she wanted me to break her out of the facility. She said no because she is paying for a room and she eats 3 meals per day! Go figure! I looked at her and again was upset with myself for not seeing her more often. She listened to the music, bobbed her head. We held hands. I am so lucky that I still have a Grandmother living. I have been able to spend 45 great years with her. No! I will never go months at a time not driving 9 miles to visit her! Live, Life, Love!

Addition to 45 in 45

Research Skydiving. I have not made a decision on this one at this time. However, I will seriously look into it to see if this is something that I can do. I mean it will be a serious look (pray).

45 years old

Last week i turned 45 years old. On that day I had lunch with Lil' Sis". She asked me a few lings Like why am I not blogging. Well did not have an answer for that one. Also what do I want to do in the next year. She suggested that I make a list of 45 things that I want to do in the next year. I though 45 things!! I then though that I could write about these things on the blog. Lil' Sis' reads this blog and she will keep me honest. I tried to think of the 45 things and have only come up with 10 so far. My goal is 45 for the year. Lets just start with the 10. 1. Write on this blog 2. Continue to be happy! 3. Get a boyfriend 4. Continue to update my home 5. Get a new Kitchen sink 6. Go to Mandy's wedding 7. Be more social 8. Get out of my comfort zone 9. Get in touch with Rae & Vanessa 10. Find my inner 20's person with respect to goal setting and goal achieving. I have done 2 of these things today. I am writing on this blog and I have asked Rae and Vanessa if they would like to meet for lunch or dinner this weekend. I am off to a good start! Live, Life, Love
