Blues fade to...Black
I've been so under a funk cloud lately with Willy traveling. It's harder on me than I like to admit. To cope, Wil and i have added a new addiction to our lives to fill the void. While most addictions seem to build in intensity, I have to say, this one came out of no where and hit us both hard and fast. In fact, I don't think our lives will ever be the same. I think I may end up spending my weekend engaging with my new love affair...I just can't get enough!!! But don't worry about us...we'll be fine.
You see, last night at about 8:45pm, my blues faded to Black...so seductive,shiny, new, exciting...we had to drive to Rockwall to get our fix because it's so hard to find and then we were up WAY too late because of it...because we are now a part of the BlackBerry community with our new, FABULOUS, BlackBerry Curve smartphones!!!!!!
I can't tell you how great it is! I am hoping this will help me with my work flow (since I work out of my car, seeing families at homes, I am always lost, losing papers in my trunk, away from internet and work e-mail for 8-10 hours/day). But beside that it will also be tons of fun. Move over iPhone, I'm in love with the Curve!
Some of my favorite features are:
GPS (Heather and I may never get lost again!!!)
E-mail (have up to 10 accounts you can access)
TV/Music (MP3 player galore plus commercial free radio and local radio and TV channels...who needs to download a ringer when you can use your own music for special ring!)
Calendar (it's not a Palm, but it might as well be...it's great!)
External Storage (you can use up to 8GB of external storage for photos, music, and more! And it all syncs with your computer for backup)
Facebook (that's right kids, facebook, on my phone!)
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
I'm a believer, I'm in love...I'm officially a CRACKBERRY user! (If you need me, I'll be programming my phone...for quite some time =) That and staying better connected to my sweet hubby...ahh, technology is grand.
Peace.

Running out of gas
Anyone else have one of those days that feels impossible to get things done?
I am sure everyone is feeling the gas prices...even worse for those that travel for work. Myself being one of them! Sure I get reimbursed...about a month later...decent rate (or at least used to be)...but it doesn't make it any easier to spend $55 to fill up my 4 door midsize at least once a week. And the IRS simply has not raised the maximum for reimbursement quickly enough if you ask me! (pardon my rant)
So this morning I had every intention of going to my first appt and then to the office (near each other) so I could fax, copy, turn in notes. But the mom cancelled and I am left with two appts this afternoon that are literally within about 5 miles of my house. In the past I would jump in the car and go to the office, happy that I had extra time to get some projects done. Now days I try to work from home when I can(sometimes very productive, sometimes challenging) bc I just don't want to drive 40 miles round trip to go to the office for a few hours when my appts are down the road (I have mixed feelings about this though). Today happens to be one of those challenging work days though...It's been a week...yesterday felt like Monday and today feels like Friday. Crap!
Wil and I had our 8th anniversary on Monday. Usually we have a memorial day bash, but seeing as he had to fly out that afternoon (and I was bummed about it) I decided it was not in the cards this year. He had asked off a long time ago but when travel plans came about he was told he would have to pay his own way to get to his destination on Tuesday if he stayed in town (insert sad emoticon here). Grrr.
I am happy to report (pictures coming soon) that my vegetables are GROWING fast and strong. No buds yet, but the plants/leaves are getting much fuller with all these 90 degree days. I hope to be eating salad real soon!
This morning, when I checked my myspace, I happened to do a search (as I have before) for my long lost little bro (from BB/BS) in Illinois. And there he was. All grown up! I sent him a message. I am hoping he will reply. I am sure I have lost al cool points now that he is in high school, but it would be so great to find out how he is doing. God bless technology!
Alright, my break is over, must make some calls and chart. Wish me productivity!

Stripping, Playboy, Spaghettios, and Wii time
Saturday was a sad day as Wil started his traveling again for work. I am single for May, pretty much!
His first stop? Hawaii!!! So after I dropped him off at the airport on Saturday afternoon I thought I would head over the the new strip mall area east of us and see what stores had opened up. You know, a little pick me up! It's so great to find both Ross and Marshall's right next door to each other! I bought a few random small things--avocado slicer, honey jar, and a clearance "official" pink playboy bunny jacket for my dog! There is really nothing like carrying around a small dog jacket that says playboy and getting stared at! (Bella looks great in it too! It reminds me of the Girl's Next Door). Next I headed over to the Dollar Tree where in my already "feeling sorry for myself" mode I bought my bachelorette dinner of a can of spaghettios and a pack of M&M's. Before I had checked out, Wil called and said his flight had been cancelled (he'll have to tell that story) so I ended up picking him up. We had an early Cinco de Mayo date night of On the Border, TiVo, Wii play, and watching Dirt. Nice. If only I would not have had to drop him off in the morning!
He's loving the tropical paradise and alrady visited Pearl Harbor and Hard Rock. Lucky! (said in a Napolean Dynamite voice). While on the other hand, I had veggie corn dogs and saw Frankie Valli in concert (good, but not the same as the beach!), and am listening to a thunderstorm outside. And I also did some laundry and picked up dog poo. Where's the justice in that! ;P
Send me some love! And let me know if you want to hang out this month...I'll want some company!

Rock Man
When I did my practicum in grad school, my supervisor would sometimes go on and on about rocks. See, in his former life he had been both a science teacher and pastor. A deadly combo! But he was so great that the talks about rocks weren't so bad. I remember him telling me about the worst earthquake ever happening in the Missouri/Illinois area in the 1800's. I could hardly believe it! But he talked with such passion about it and the liklihood of it happening again in our lifetime. I thought, "no way!"
I woke up at 5:44am, a victim to NBC5 news text message (not to mention I accidently signed up for the wrong one so I only get Chicago news!!!)...and there it was. A 5.4 earthquake rocked the midwest this morning. I was only half surprised since good old Gary had educated me in so much more than counseling! WOW. So weird.
