I Stand Corrected

When the iPhone first came out, I could not for the life of me figure out what the big deal was. After all, you need a phone for the occasional call and perhaps text message. But after that, who really cares? It's certainly nice enough for phones to have tricks and extra buttons, but really, not necessary.

Right?

WRONG. For once Yet again, I was wrong.

See, on Saturday night my phone (which doubled as my PDA -- calendar, to do list, address book, email/internet) went swimming in the sink at work. Now I am not extremely well versed in all things technical, but I do know this: Phone + water = bad. As I watched my phone sink into the water, I saw a new phone in my fairly near future. (Helpful hint: don't put your phone in the sink...especially a sink full of water)

So Sunday afternoon after I dragged my sorry butt out of bed woke up, I was forced to go on a little shopping spree. I have had Verizon forever, and have never had much of a problem with them. My service works well, which was all I really needed. But I do love to do what all the cool kids are doing, so I thought that perhaps I should expand my horizons.

I went to the Apple Store.

And then my head exploded from all the technology! And people! And gadgets! And people!

And then I realized that when I said that one phone was just as good as another that I was wrong.



This guy came home with my. No, it isn't the 3G S -- just the regular 3G. But still. It is, by far, every bit as awesome as everyone always said it was.

The only thing that it doesn't do is my laundry -- although heck, there might be an app for that too.

Best Shot Monday - Craving Vacation

I know that I was just on vacation, but with as hectic as normal life is (and it always is, isn't it?), a return to vacation sounds awfully good to me...

Numbers

No, not the tv show (although I do intend to make time to watch that season finale at some point...I can't believe that I am so far behind on my tv!)

1: patient sent to the ICU. Who was the sickest patient I think I might have ever had. Ick...I hate when that happens. (Although I do secretly love it to...not the sad parts, just the adrenaline rush...I know, it's sick.)

2: Number of nights off I will have before I have to go back to work. Yay!

3: Number of days spent at Disneyworld!!

4: Average number of hours of sleep I have had, daily. For the past week. Conclusion? Probably not enough.

5:55 Time I went to bed this morning. Wake up time? 9:00. Bummer.

9: My stress level, on a scale of 1-10. Number of things I would trade right now for a lower stress level? Zero...I might be busy (and who isn't?!) but I have got to be one of the luckiest people I know.

12: Number of productive hours I am hoping to have today. So far...I've managed to check Facebook. But hey, you have to start somewhere...right?

608: Number of unread posts in my Google Reader. And here I thought I was going to catch up before I was on vacation...ha ha HA!

1,000: Number of pictures taken while I was in Florida. Hopefully I will get them sorted today...it was so fun and I can't wait to show everyone!
