Randomness
Alright. I’m in a hyper mood, and I just drank some really good coffee with some really good hazelnut creamer (yum), so…heh…random!
A few days ago, we all got new phones…our old ones were kind of wearing out and now have been given to the kids for alarms (which sometimes creates confusion as they like to play the ringtones as ‘background music’ and Mom and I keep reaching for our phones when familiar tones play!), while we got some spiffy new phones. Dad, Mom, Ben, and Joe got Alltel Hue II’s, while Eric and I (such nonconformists!) got the much-cooler LG Banter.
Hue II pros: Better camera, camcorder. Comes with earbud headset.
Hue II cons: Ugly GUI! Worse than the last phones, IMO, sucky ringtones. No customized menu (I loved that about my last phone!)
Banter pros: Neat slide-out keyboard!! (I don’t text but I’m ALWAYS writing notes to myself!) Pretty GUI!! (Black with pink selector!) Cooler ringtones!
Banter cons: Not *quite* as good of camera (half a megapixel less), no camcorder, and the headset jack is less than 1/8″ (weird!) so I can’t snitch Mom’s headset earbuds and doesn’t come with them! Can’t figure out how to get the customizable menu to somewhere handy! LOL
But I love my Banter! And wheee! I can plug it into my computer and actually get pictures off it!! Eric and I ordered USB cords (a friend of mine found a Bluetooth USB thing for $8, but the cords were only $4.50 apiece) on the 14th so they should be here any day. Expect to be overloaded with pictures!
Both phones also have mp3 players (listen, my last one didn’t, and I couldn’t get pics off my last one so humor me a bit, ok? I KNOW most other people’s phones have both capabilities, but yeah…), but need microSD cards so Eric and I ordered those as well. I don’t imagine it being the best quality, but I really wanted an mp3 player again since my last one’s headphone jack broke!
Hmm let’s see…a couple of the kids have a cold, and Abby threw up a couple times a few nights ago. It only lasted one night, though, fortunately!
We got a scanner, so Beth has been scanning in old pics and putting them on Facebook. Pretty entertaining! Brings back a lot of memories!
A few days ago, Pi was sleeping on my bed all day, and when I went in there for bed, she had pulled out some of her fur on her shoulder, and spread it all over my bed! I had to clean it up before I could go to sleep! She’s done this before, pulled out some of her fur. No clue how she does it, I didn’t think kitty teeth were that…that…something-or-other! Anybody know why a cat would pull out her fur?
*hopes some cool stuff comes in the mail today!!* (like the USB cords!)
Hmm…I think I lost my hyperness (it’s only internal, anyway). Oh well! I guess that means I should post this then!
And I’ll leave you with two funny pics! (Yes, words are misspelled!)
