Everyday I learn about a new app or some other gadget that I can use on my BlackBerry.  Today it was IM + Lite.  It is pidgin for my phone, and I'm loving it.

Ever since I got my phone I've stopped logging into IM on my computer.  What's the point, really?  My phone goes everywhere with me so I'm much easier to connect with if I just stay logged in ( Read more... )

Last night we got an automated call from the school telling us about some parent/teacher meeting thing and picture day.  The next day mom calls the school because she can and finds out that it is indeed a parent/teacher thing at 4 ( Read more... )

As you already know, I have a parakeet named Flibbertigibbet (Flibby).  What you don't know is that I bought her a friend about a week ago and named her Persnickety (Percy).  Anyway, on Monday I received the Kozy Keet playnest that I purchased my feathered friends and put it in their cage.  The next day, today, Flibby has already discovered the ( Read more... )

Thank you stress, now I am going bald.

My hair has been coming out by the handful, I swear.  I just bought 3 worry stones off ebay... maybe they will help me relax.  Or they'll get rubbed so thin they bust.  Whatever happens first.

I know, I know.  I just don't write like I used to.  There really isn't much to say.  I've been so busy it is ridiculous.  If it isn't school then it is work.  Something is always requiring my attention.  I am sick of sitting at this computer all the time but I don't regret my decision to go to college.  Just worn down and busy is all.  Like I ( Read more... )
