Sporadic Blogging
I know my blogging has been hit and miss lately, and I’m way behind on my reading and commenting. What can I say? Real life caught up with me. I’ve worked some, but been busy all the time since I’ve last posted. I even completely spaced about camera club and read my message from Terrific58 about it on Friday afternoon some time. Yikes. What a slacker huh?
Hubby got back on Saturday. We have decided that since retiring from the Air Force we have become a bunch of wimps — because for some reason we all really had a tough time with him being gone for 1 and 1/2 weeks. Normally – 1 1/2 weeks would be nada. We could do that in the blink of an eye. heck we even did 1 year apart, only seeing him 3 times that year. 1 1/2 weeks is nothing. A walk in the park, a day at the beach, easy peasy lemon squeezy — really. Somehow though, retirement turns you into complete and total pansies – because all of us were ready for him to be home like the day he left – hubby included! Of course with my mom’s heart attack, that put some extra desire for the comfort station to be back where it’s supposed to be and of course, he felt at a total loss not being able to help or do anything. Anyways, we are glad he’s home and he’s decided he’s not going to travel if he can avoid it. Truthfully, he didn’t travel much for the last 3 years, so we were already semi-used to him being around.
Ducky leaves in like 10 days for Maui, where she will spend Spring Break. I must admit, I’m jealous. I’m missing Maui bad right now! To be truthful I think we all have a touch of spring fever.
We did finally get new phones yesterday. I just upgraded to another basic phone. I really don’t need much an it seemed silly to pay the extra dough for all the features I would never use. Ducky got an EnV in Silver, and Squirt got a Juke in Teal (which matches her new nano, awwwwww…….). All I can say is they better take care of them cause any replacements won’t be coming out of my pocket book! I do like both of their phones, but truthfully, just would never use all those great features ~ so why bother?
They are nice though!
Ok, I’m off and I’ll be back to read and comment tonight – I promise!!!
Question of the Day:
What features do you use on your cell phone if you have one?

I have a plain old blah cell phone. No bells or whistles. I would like to get one with a camera feature though. Sometimes you just see something you’d like to snap a photo of.
texting my phone is very basic.
I use the talk button :ROTFL: that’s it
I don’t even have a cell phone. Isn’t that just unthinkable? I think if I had a fancy enough one, aside from the talk feature (hehehe) I’d use a camera feature the most
I have been thinking of getting Blackberry Curve.. But I haven’t got around to it.. The extra feature would have to be the internet as I would be able to check my email on there if I’m away from home for a long period of time.
I also recently got an EnV, in orange. I like it, but it seems there has been a problem with the calendar on it. I need to take it back. My dh already returned his for a new one. When you put an event on the calendar and you go to that particular day it shows “no event”. Have her watch out for this. Apparently, it’s one of the big problems with the phone.
I’m still sporting a RAZR V3. I actually just now started texting! hahahaha I use the camera on it a lot, and it’s convenient to email it directly to my computer. Other than that, I don’t really use it for much.
My phone is the BASIC one I got years ago and it does fine for me, I don’t even text message. Hubby does and he could probably use an upgrade but neither of us wants one of those tiny ones. I don’t think I’d use a camera phone and I don’t care about downloading ring tones…but I have to admit if I could surf the net on one of the fancy ones, it would be tempting..but not $600 worth of temptation!
Alicia and Mike are in Maui now too for their anniversary…sigh. Great for them, and maybe some day I will get to go too and take advantage of their generous offer to use their condo. It is good to have friends with property in great places! LOL!
ryc: dh was making fun of me tonite calling me the “clearance whisperer” :ROTFL: :ROTFL:
It feels as if I have not been online for ever and it has only been since Saturday. Camera club will be next Wednesday night, the 20th. I did not go last week. I am glad that you have a new phone. Mine is great but it has gremlins living inside. I’m not working much and turned down 3 jobs for tomorrow. Long story.
I have become a compulsive texter…, and I like the camera features on my phone. I find that when I am out of town, I use the internet features…, of course it cost me later. I wouldn’t mind having a Blackberry…, there I said it.
Hugs, Tricia
I’m with you, I just need the basic phone. I’m not into texting.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. When do you turn 41? My Mom was a grandmother by this age so I guess I think 41 is old or something. I’m fighting being old everyday! My young kids don’t need an old Mommy!
How’s your Mom doing? Are you subbing a lot?
I am really enjoying reading Pillars. On my phone I use the music, the pictures, the email, web service, one of the 2 games and whatever else I can understand.
Thank you, it’s a pic from better times, go figure, he wasn’t there with me.
I’m getting there. I’ll post an update in a bit…the pain is a little less but still there but I’m getting there. Thank you.
I use my cell phone to send and receive phone calls. That’s all the feature I need!
I think we all have a bit of that spring fever, and have all been a bit remiss in blogsville. Get out and enjoy the weather. Don’t worry about us. We’ll still be here when you come back!
