Catch Up

First of all – an update on the iPhone – since I know you’re all DYING to find out what happened!! Basically nothing. NO-THING! The speaker is shot, and so you can’t hear the phone ring. It’s pretty effing inconvenient, ya know? I mean, the basic job of a phone (besides all the fancy – shmancy things that it does) is to RING!!! Since I paid 4 big ones for it less than a couple of years ago, I was none too thrilled to find out that all I could do was buy a new one. So I’ve just been “living with it”. I check my messages often, and return calls, but it’s just not cool. Apple – I expected more from you. However, that being said, now that the NEW G3S phones have come out, I must admit – I’m tempted. I can get one for (only) 2 big ones!!! It’s faster, more powerful, has a lot more memory, and a better battery than the one I have now. You know, it really blows my mind when I think about how far phones have come. When I got my first cell phone many years ago, it was a GI-NORMOUS thing that resembled a shoebox cut in half lengthwise. It was HUGE and didn’t do much as I recall. I’m sure I still have it in a drawer somewhere! Ugh! And now, I can pretty much carry my computer and my stereo, and my address book, and the Internet around in my pocket. Cool! Now if it would just RING!! But I digress.

Sorry for the rant, but that’s actually pretty much why I have this blog. So I CAN rant. So get used to it people. It’s what I do. I bitch, and whine, and moan and groan, and occasionally have something good to say. It’s my alter-ego site, and I love the fact that it’s here. OK, rant over. I think.


Now, has it REALLY been almost 2 months since I posted anything? OMG, that IS ridiculous!! I blame facebook for it, (although I’m just grasping at straws). My attempts to get organized have failed pretty much miserably, along with my attempts to lose weight. However, I might be coming around. You see, bad knees run in my family. My grandpa had bad knees. My dad had bad knees, and my brother has bad knees. I’ve had arthritis in my right knee since I was it my 20’s. It’s my “bad knee”. However, a couple of days ago when I got up I realized that my “good" knee felt swollen and just plain crappy. Couldn’t bend it very well, or squat down (noooooooooo) or do several things that I’m used to doing. I guess my age, and my weight and my “bad knee” genes are catching up to me. OK God – I give. You’ve been TRYING to tell me in SO many ways that I need to lose weight. I might have to take you seriously now. I am terrified of growing old and being too decrepit to do the things I want to do. I give. So next week I am biting the bullet (yet again) and going on a weight loss plan. If I could lose the 50 pounds that I’ve been talking about losing for the last 30 years, it would be SO fabulous!!!! Can I do it? Can I actually stick to a plan for more than 20 minutes? We’ll see. It’s such a head game. I need to learn to play the game. Wish me luck!!
