Okay, I recently got this absolutely awesome cellphone. I got a black Samsung BlackJack II Smartphone. I’m with AT&T, which I’ve heard so many people bad-mouth, but I love being with them.

I went with the BlackJack because of all the features:

Product Features

• Quad-band/3G smartphone with Windows Mobile 6 for MS Office document editing and easy Outlook email and contacts
  Okay, this doesn’t make a lot of difference but its a good thing, I swear I have to find out if Open Office docs work, since it works with Office stuff, though.
• Internal GPS receiver with support for TeleNav software; music and video downloads and streams via AT&T Mobile Music and Cellular Video
  Once again, not a necessity, but the GPS will come in handy for road trips. It only costing $10 a month through AT&T is a nice deal
• Full QWERTY keyboard; Bluetooth stereo music streaming; 2.0 megapixel camera; MicroSD expansion
  QWERTY was a requirement for me. I love the way it works. Camera and expandable memory was another. My current microSD card works great with it too
• Up to 7 hours of talk time, up to 14 days of standby time
  Okay, I don’t talk a lot, but I do a lot of texting, I rely on my cellphone as my “landline”, but I don’t want to have to constantly have my phone on a charger. What’s the point of a cellphone if its constantly plugged into the wall?
• Includes: Charger, USB Cable, Battery and Getting Started CD
  Charger, battery, and USB cable are getting a lot of use. The CD? *snort* I installed the syncing program and then never looked at it again,

Even with this lovely little phone, though, I’m finding myself longing for a few things. One thing: I’m a girl, and I love girly things. The pinker, the better. I’m also in need of a car charger. I spend more time in a vehicle now that my daughter is in school and I transport her to and from. I’m also wanting to get more active again, and since I’ve got the 2-gig MicroSD card, I want to put it to use with music. That means I need to find myself some either Bluetooth headphones, or one that plugs into the same port that the sync cord and charger go into.

Little Boy Mess

Theme: Beautiful

Okay, I took the theme literally, and made a video of things I find beautiful, or things that make me beautiful . Any explanations will be given upon request Oh!! And it sucks because Windows Movie Maker kept locking up on me when I tried to add transitions and credits/inserts and things.

Enjoy!!

What have I been doing since Wednesday?
I’ve been gaming:

Obama for Prez
That’s right, I said it
Vote him in office

He gave a great speech
One that had people cheering
Speaks eloquently

No matter your choice
You have to admit the truth
Amazing speech

Yes, I’m proud to say, once again, that I’m an Obama Mama!! I found out, in Plurk, that I wasn’t the only one either. And I stand behind what I said. The country is more screwed up than I thought if McSame makes it into office.

The faces of my daughter. Yeah, I can remember to take pictures of her, but can’t remember to make her lunch. Gah! I’m such a bad mommy

 exhausted

My daughter isn’t spoiled, though sometimes it seems like she is. Since she’s been so good at school, and in the mornings, and at night, we decided we would get her Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning as a reward for all of her hard work, on the day it came out. We didn’t tell her we were getting it for her. It was a surprise.

Trust me, when she saw it, she was definitely surprised. She goes “Wow! For me? Thank you”. She was so shocked, and so humble about the gift, that it made me proud to be her mother. That meant we were raising her right. She understands, for the most part, the difference between “I want” and “I need”. Ethan’s still learning that.

Now it’s time for that wait for Sims 2 Apartment Life for the Sims 2 to come out ;) Mark, our friend who works in the Walmart Electronics department will be texting me when it goes on the shelves. It was supposed to be in today, but it didn’t happen

 hungry

The Goal: Each week, you figure out what you need to do for the following week. No real point, but it’s a great way of keeping track of plans and things.

Monday, August 25

• Try and corral my son, who seems to have non-stop energy ;)
• Pay some bills. Gotta pay those credit card folks
• Work on tags. I meant to work on them last week (did do some Monday), but Josh was off all week, so I fell behind again
• Learn me some Wordpress template coding ;)
• Do some cleaning
• Restart Project 365. I can do it, I can do it!

Recently, we got a free package in the mail. It was from Social Spark, about a product for me and my family to check out. I was excited, because they didn’t tell us what it was going to be, just the hint that it was going to involve a game. Imagine my children’s excitement when it came and contained our own copy of Disney Bingo. My husband was even excited to try it out.

We played several games. I played “caller” a few times, as did my husband. My kids had the time of their lives, I think, playing it. They constantly ask now to play. Since it’s such an easy game to set up, we have no problems letting them play together. I wonder, though, if part of the reason they loved to play was the prizes. The first one to call “BINGO” got 3 pieces of candy (Kisses), the next got 2, and the last got 1. I have a feeling they enjoyed that part just as much.

With my husband working random days and hours at the post office, having something that’s easy to play and set up is a great way for us to spend some time together as a family. My kids are excited just to play. Winning isn’t anything big to them. They get excited if they come in last on MarioKart for the Wii, . Spending time with Mommy and Daddy, though? That’s the highlight of their life!!

Remember, Disney Bingo next time you’re looking for a fun, easy game to play with your family. With a variety of game versions to play, you can’t lose.
