Hope you get accomplished what you want to today.

BTW, just thought, I've heard that this is a really good time of year to buy electronics. People are wanting them around Christmas, so prices in general go up, and after Christmas, people are trying to find sales, and prices really don't drop that much then. The actual lower prices are this time of year when demand is lowest and stores need to move merchandise. Happy hunting!!

I am having a decent day, did sell the last puppy, wonderful home. I don't have internet access on my phone so can't Google or get my pictures on my computer. I have to sign up for internet to get the chord that goes from the phone to the computer. I've tried to find one like at Radio Shack, but so far no luck.

Thank you for the tip on buying electronics...I'll have to start checking things out more agressively.

I'm so glad you sold the puppy to a good family. I know you'll miss her, but you can't have all the yorkies in the world! You do have to share.

I taught my class this morning. Next week is their final, and that's the last class I'll be teaching at this college. I have loved teaching there, but I'm moving and can't take the college with me.

When I got home, I read their revised research papers, emailed them with comments, and then took a nap. After dinner, I did my bills, and now I'm here.

Well, I had a productive day. All in all, got quite a bit done on Melissa's table runners for the wedding reception. I had a sample put together for her to see of the runner with her decorations and she loved it, so that at least made me feel good. It's been a lot of work and I have 7 more to make.

Both girls got here early evening, so we visited a bit then went and got a bite to eat and they've been on the computers and watching a movie while I worked on the runners some more. I'll be so glad when they are finally finished.

Janet, right now, I think the only phone that will do what mine does is the Apple i-Phone, and i have to pay $20.00 per month for the internet access. I'm on my husband's business plan. I love my phone, and the extra expense is worth it for me. With all the driving that I do, I have used Google maps sooo much, and if you are looking for a certain store or restaurant in an unfamiliar city, you can just Google it, or looking for a phone number, Google it. It's been a wonderful tool for me.

I think Sprint will be offering a Samsung phone this summer that will be very similiar in function to the i-Phone, only it's supposed to be even faster, and will have turn by turn GPS. i-Phone just has the maps.

New toys coming out all the time.

I ran several errands this morning then sat here the rest of the day. I did pick up 5 packs of pictures I had developed so now i have to mail them out and organize my photo albums.

It's so funny Marilyn, but I see all these new 'toys' that come out and get so excited, but then I have to remember...I don't go anywhere to do very much..so I don't know what I'd use them for.....LOL. Still like to check them out though and I do love the rush of thinking about getting it.

I don't travel enough to have GPS and being OCD, I have to route my trips before I get on the road. I have the AT&T Razr and pay $20/month for internet, mostly to get unlimited text messages - it was $5 more for the package.

[Janet]

We have to pay for our text messages, didn't come in our package, but my son still texts anyway. He has a job, so anything above our regular bill, he has to pay for. Was in for a shock this month...he has to pay something like $25. He's decided it's just as simple to make the call instead of texting....LOL

I personally don't know why, with email and instant message and being able to call that everyone likes texting so much...can you or anyone explain it to me? Maybe it's my old age, but I have no desire to text someone.

Great! I'm so glad you sold them all. But I bet you miss them!

I do miss the last one especially. She was my favorite and it still feels bad to walk into the living room when I first get up and she's not there.
