and the winner is…

March 12, 2010

Just in case you were wondering :). So far I am really liking the case (and the service, I ordered Tuesday night and had it in hand today, Friday). The red case is my old case and while there was nothing wrong with it, I just wanted a change. The dirt under the case though reminded me that I do need to take the case off a bit more often and clean the phone. I clean the screen and case quite a bit but rarely under the case. Now all I need is my new screen protector (anti-glare this time) that Bryan is holding ransom and I’ll be set!

Case by Unommon. Currently, they only have iPhone 3g/3GS but have iPod touch, iPad and a Blackberry case coming soon.

indecisive.

February 28, 2010

I have never been an indecisive person…till recently, and over the most stupid things at that. I’d like to blame it on stress.

Sigh.

This time, it is an iPhone case.

Really, an iPhone case.

I want a customized one, but can’t make a decision on which image.

Anyone willing to cast a vote?

See below.

Choice 1

Choice 2

Choice 3

Choice 4

Choice 5

Choice 6

These are all pics I <3. Of course, Bryan no longer wears ABU’s but those are some of my fav pics of him. Decisions, decisions.

So, if you are willing to weigh in, please vote below :).

dying the slow (hopefully) death.

November 16, 2009

Several weeks ago, my hard drive started clicking randomly. We thought it was possibly my motherboard flaking out and not supplying proper power, since I was also having random USB issues. Then, yesterday the grinding started. Sigh. Hopped on Newegg and ordered and new hard drive. Yeah, I REALLY have time in my schedule to be dealing with this.

Not.

I’m not worried about data loss, I use Mozy online and a network drive here at home, but man, what a hassle. I guess it gives me a chance to rearrange my file structure a bit and clean out some programs that I rarely/never use but I had everything *just* the way I like it. Oy.

I did upgrade by 90GB, so I guess I no longer need that external drive I was eyeing.

Yeah, trying to find the bright spots in this mess.

Too bad, I can’t just push it off on Bryan to fix since he leaves TDY Wednesday. I am fully capable of doing it but he gets so much more pleasure out of stuff like this than I do.

Anyway, just pray that the old drive lasts until the new one gets here so I have as seamless of a transition as possible and I’ll stop whining now :).

Tuesday Tidbits

November 10, 2009

Is it geeky that I am excited for my new GPS to get here tomorrow?? Guess my GRLGEEK license plate is fitting then :). We decided to go ahead and buy a second one (poor Bryan gets the hand me downs always) since Bryan will be making 2 trips back and forth to Texas in the next 4.5 months and I will be making 1 for sure and possibly 2. Normally our trips don’t overlap, so having only 1 GPS works, but not this time. We’ll need it when we convoy to Vegas too, so it’s either buy it now or later.

For Thanksgiving, we were going to go to my Mom’s all weekend and have Bryan drive down from San Antonio to meet us, but Jacey really wants to hang out with Daddy’s all weekend. So, we are going to go to my Mom’s for Thanksgiving Day and then mess around in San Antonio the rest of the weekend. I think it is really starting to bother Jacey that after this short TDY, Bryan will be gone for another 2 months like last year. She’s okay when he is gone for the most part but I know it doesn’t get any easier with time like the old adage preaches.

And, since we can no longer volunteer to serve at the Waterfront Mission for Thanksgiving like we had originally planned, we decided to do it for Christmas this year instead. Bryan and I have both lost our eagerness for Christmas. I know the true reason for the season but all the materialism and commercialism really takes the joy out for me. This will be the perfect way to experience the true reason of the season, following in Christ’s footsteps and serving those less privileged.

Last year, Jacey and I (Bryan was still TDY) both walked in the Niceville Christmas Parade for the Relay For Life float. This year though, I have to figure out how to be in 2 places at one time. Being the 2010 event vice chair, I need to walk with the Relay float again, but this year, Jacey is twirling with the Twinkling Twirlers for the parade. Anyone know of an easy way to clone myself? Hmm…this might be the perfect time to enlist Mrs. M’s help (Jacey’s adopted grandma).

project 365: 365 pieces of me {day 281}

August 5, 2009

I love my iPhone but THIS annoys me…disorganization! There is no easy way to organize your apps. You can tell I started once upon a time but just gave up. Apple, are you listening?! Let me organize via iTunes and I’ll be an Apple convert for life :).
