Here we go again...

Do you remember my blog where I complained about getting a new cell phone? Then the blog after that when I had to get another new one but same type? Then the blog after that when I had to get ANOTHER new one but is was still the same type?
Well, guess what this blog is going to be about!!!
However, this time we are not getting the same type. Yep! Goodbye Samsung Fascinate and all your cuteness, Hello Droid HTC Incredible 2! Moral of story, don't choose a phone b/c it is cuter than the others.
I liked Samsung's look and how pretty the stuff on the screen was (yeah that is my technical term for it) but the thing would freeze on me and drop calls all the time. It would even just pop up a missed call without ever even ringing. Doug was about to throw the phone out the window but I wanted to keep it. Well, one of his dork web-sites said that the phone was about to have a mandatory update and it would make the phone worse than what it was. He called Verizon and they confirmed it and told him they were offering a free update to a new phone in exchange for the old one.
So next Tuesday I will be a proud owner of a phone I know absolutely nothing about. Yay! I am currently working on backing up everything on my current phone to prepare for the swap. I have done this a few times so (brush my shoulder off) I am getting to be a pro at this. However, don't ask me how b/c I do not know ANY technical terms. HA! Everything is a thing-a-ma-bob or a thingy. I know...
So wish me luck learning how to use my new phone next week. I will let you know how it goes. I may be "out of touch" for a few days until I figure out how to text. Ha!

Boring life

Wow. It has almost been a month since I have blogged. The only reason I am blogging right now is because we are slow at work today and I am bored. I really have nothing to report. We have been hanging out at the house for most of the month, living a low-key lifestyle. I honestly think the most interesting thing we have done (besides having dinner with friends here and there) is going to see the last Harry Potter. I know, we like to live on the dangerous side. I promise we will slow down and start acting our age. This summer has been a nasty hot one so we have tried to stay indoors as much as possible. We are also trying to be a little tighter on the money. No reason. Just a good idea.
Most of you reading this are friends with me on Facebook so I have no pictures to post of us or Auburn that you have not already seen before. I am also trying not to be one of "those people" who's whole world is tied around their dog. I love Auburn but I try not to talk about her and show her off 24/7. You know?!
We are going to Valley next weekend so maybe that will give me something to write about. Usually it is a boring weekend of shopping and eating but since Auburn is coming along she may spice up the weekend. Ha
Maybe I will have something exciting to blog about soon. Who knows. Until then...

Birthday Part 2

So Thursday night we went to Monterey with a group of friends. I pigged out like usual and we had a great time. They told them it was my birthday so I had to wear the stupid hat while they sang to me. I have a picture that Doug took of me but I can not post it because while he was taking the picture I temporarily lost control of my middle finger. Oops! I did get a shot of Tequila out of the whole ordeal but since I do not take shots I gave it to a friend.
After we ate everyone came over to our house. I was tired so I spent most of the night on my bed with Jordan watching Shrek. Ha! I opened my presents from Doug and he got me an Auburn towel, a book, and a gift card. He did good this year, the gift card was the only thing on my list.
Mom and Dad came up Saturday and the weekend of eating began. We ate Chick-fil-a, Shane's BBQ, Hardee's, Chili's, and Mellow Mushroom. I took Dad to Shane's, his favorite BBQ place in Augusta, for Father's Day and they took me to Mellow Mushroom for my birthday. I L-O-V-E their Greek salad. It is AWESOME! After we ate we walked it off in the mall. Of course when me and Mom get together we feed our shopping addiction. I was surprised that I was unable to find a whole lot. I walked out of almost every store I went in empty handed. If I did see something I liked they did not have it in my size. I guess it was just not my weekend. But I did get some cute stuff and it was all on-sale! Yay!
Auburn loves Dad so they spent the entire weekend playing. She was exhausted when they left. I think she slept all day Monday. I know she misses them today.
All-in-all I had a great Birthday. Low-key, simple, and spent with great family and friends. Thanks for all the Birthday wishes and to all of those who took time out of their lives to spend my Birthday with me!
