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.

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?

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 :).

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 :).

• 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).

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 :).

• Well, I finally had to spill about Bryan’s anniversary present. We were supposed to go on a flight around the local area tomorrow (29th) morning but we had to reschedule till Friday morning because of the weather. I was bummed, because I had everything planned for this morning; Bryan’s work, childcare and all but what can you do?! So, now I have to search down childcare for Friday morning. Bryan is already off on Friday, so at least that is one less thing that I need to figure out.

• Bryan already bought my anniversary present but now wants to get me something else. He knows I have been trying to find an eternity band to go below my wedding set. I want something unique. Emeralds are my favorite stone but they are pretty fragile and I need something that will stand up to everyday wear. So, he got me this (my wedding band has black accents). It won’t get here by Friday but I’ll share a real pic when it does.

• Ahh, Twitter. It has become a new addition (follow me if you tweet, I’m thatdegirl). Along with that addiction comes finding a Twitter iPhone app that actually meets all my needs. I use TweetDeck on my computer but I don’t like it on the iPhone. I love how Twitterrific looks on my iPhone but don’t like how it handles my feed. I really like TwitterFon but the free version ads bug me. I have heard raves about Twittelator and BirdFeed but they don’t have free versions to try out. I am leaning towards buying TwitterFon Pro…anyone have any recommendations?

• To Whom It May Concern,
  I promise you, I do not need the benefits of acai berries, do not need my bits enlarged, do not want a colon cleanse. I promise I already have my high school diploma and do not want free airline tickets to Timbuktu. It would be more worthy of your time to send your promotions to another soul.
  Sincerely,
  Delete Is My Friend.

• The other day, I got sent a copy of “Faith Deployed” by Jocelyn Green and Sara Horn from Wives of Faith contributed as well. Via emails, the author is just so sweet and caring. I agreed to read the book and then post a review. I haven’t had a chance to start it yet (hope to Saturday) but from what I have seen flipping through, it is going to be awesome. Faith and spouses are 2 aspects not heavily mentioned in military life as I experience it, so it is nice to see this topic addressed.

Anyway, if I am sparse over the next few days, you know why.

1. I am addicted to facebook and twitter. Really addicted…LOL!

2. This week we have cut a few random bills by anywhere from $110-125 a month!

3. I got a fill Monday, I am finally back up to what I was in October. I can definitely tell I have restriction again though, because that first sip of water in the morning is making me nauseous…LOL! The liquids suck but I get real food again tomorrow.

4. I finally have an almost completely new wardrobe. I don’t have to wash more than once a week anymore…LOL! Who knew losing weight was so expensive :).

5. Tuesday I went and got my allergy shots. By the time I got home (mind you, after sitting in the clinic for the required 30 minutes to check for reactions) I was starting to be covered in lovely red dots…everywhere. Called the clinic and they said get to the ER. So, we turn around and head back to base. 4 hours, a Benadryl IV, blood work, a dose of prednisone and a cup of OJ I finally got to come back home. Now I have to go back 1 entire vial in my allergy shots…bummer, I was SO looking forward to only 6 more weekly shots before going monthly.

6. While at the ER I found out my white blood cell count is back up to 23 and my blood sugar was low (mind you I had a full fat, full sugar milkshake a few hours prior). Wonder why?!

7. You know my $1000 camera, yeah, my dSLR, my prized possession?! That thing I had to dust a 2 inch thick layer of dust off of?! I actually picked it back up a couple of weeks ago and have been using it (you wouldn’t know it though by my slacking on my p365 posts).

8. I tried to jump back on the food tracking wagon this week, after taking a hiatus pretty much since my gallbladder surgery and it is annoying…LOL! I guess that I don’t feel it is necessary anymore, since I am maintaining with no extra effort (just the lifestyle changes I have made since the band) and I am not sure I truly want to go the other 17 pounds down to my final goal, i really like where I am at. I dunno…we’ll see how I feel and what my weight does with this latest fill.

9. This house is entirely too quiet without Jacey here.

10. I am thrilled, I booked our parasailing ride for the 11th. It is our 10th anniversary gift to each other (July 31st :).

11. I am irritated that Harper’s Island isn’t coming on until Tuesday instead of Saturday as usual. The last episode definitely left my trying to figure out “why”.

12. I have to hit the commissary in the morning, my most unfavorite place to go. Anyone want to go for me? I guess it is better than sitting in a Pensacola dealership with no wifi (where Bry will be, getting the a/c on his 1 year old car fixed).

13. I am addicted to ice cream…sigh.

• What is up with cars? Bryan’s car is a year old and Friday, while we were sitting at a red light the a/c just quit. Well, it was blowing air, but nothing resembling the cold that was coming out moments before. Sure, it under warranty but should we be having to take a 1 year old car in for something possibly major already?! The really sucky part is that they closed the Suzuki dealership here in town, so we now have to drive it an hour to either Pensacola or Panama City for any warranty work and this is something that really can’t wait when we are pushing 100 degrees outside. Good thing is we weren’t planning to take it to Texas next week.

• I had to do a small grocery shopping trip this week and razor blades were on my list. Holy cow, I am SO contemplating going European…LOL! Not really but gracious, why is something so small so expensive?! A 4 pack of mine are almost $10 and a 4 pack of Bryan’s are almost $13.

• I LOVE TweetDeck on my desktop, so I was absolutely thrilled to see an app for the iPhone come out today. After playing around with it a bit, I defintely think it is going to replace both Twitterific and Twitterfon. The ability to sync between my desktop and iPhone client is irreplaceable. Now if only the iPhone app would have Facebook integration like the desktop client.

• So, iPhone OS 3.0 comes out tomorrow. Wish I knew what time. Several niceties in this update but the one I want to most (MMS) I don’t get till the end of summer thanks to AT&T…bums. The ability to sync notes, copy/paste, landscape email and have stereo bluetooth (I can wirelessly stream my music through my truck speakers) will be cool though.

• Jacey lost another tooth, this makes number 4 since January. She is thrilled and thinks she looks “soooo cute”!

• I spent this weekend working on year end teacher’s gifts. I always decide to make something, get halfway through and regret being so crafty…LOL! I got finished though and hope they like them. I ended up making movie packs (popcorn and Blockbuster gift cards) for her main teacher and GT science teacher as well as a travel mug for her main teacher.

• We had absolutely gorgeous weather all weekend, so we hit the pool Friday and the beach Saturday. 2 hours at both, no sunscreen at the pool and no sunburn…sunscreen at the beach and I came back with lobster legs. Go figure…LOL!

• This made me smile today and now I can’t get it out of my head. The creativity and time that went into it is mind boggling.
