iPhones

My phone has been acting up and Chris's needed a new battery, so I had to go get my driver's license renewed, and then I decided to stop by the AT&T store. I was just going to upgrade my phone and get him a battery. I ended up leaving with two iPhones, one for each of us. Really enjoying them, but we are both finding that some of the things our simple phones can't be done on the iPhone. Simple things - two main ones for me - I can't forward a calendar note and I can't create groups so I can easily pull up a certain group of people who would be receiving the text (and calendar note).

Also, we found that if you enter a contact, you can enter a birthday for that person, BUT it does not import it into the calendar which makes no sense to me. So, I had to go through the calendar month by month and enter all of that information even though I had already entered it in each contact.

But, all in all, I love it. We are downloading all of our music CDs into the iTunes.

Sick!

I got sick on Saturday, (Nov 29th) and thought I was getting better, even managed to go to the Sarah Palin rally and to class after that. Tuesday, I wasn't feeling so hot again - wound up in the hospital - dehydrated and low potassium. So, after getting re-hydrated, I got dismissed. Feeling better, but not completely over it yet.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin came to Georgia today to campaign for Saxby Chambliss. She was close enough for me to go see her. I managed to get this shot which turned out to be my favorite one, it was shot through someone's arms. Notice the tiara - a young girl behind her was wearing it, but it looks like Sarah is wearing it.

It was awesome getting to attend the rally.

Welcome Aiden!

My nephew Aiden joined the family today about 5:15 am. He was scheduled for a Dec 1st c-section arrival, but decided to put in an early appearance.

November 30th, 2008
7 lbs 15 oz
21 inches long

Son to Lee and Jessica
Brother to Katie Beth

I hope to see him soon. I was so sick I thought I was going to go to the ER and of course I didn't want to expose any of them if I were contagious. That and the fact that I couldn't walk more than 2 or 3 steps before I needed to sit down.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

My friend Leona-from-Arizona, her daughter Nadine and her mother Jean came for a visit. I haven't seen her in about a year and a half, so I really enjoyed getting to spend several hours with her. I'd never met her mom or her daughter, so that was fun.


We decided to be a little silly and the leaves just looked like they needed to be stirred up a bit.


You know you've got great friends when you go buy some fresh pork skins and they dig in with you and enjoy them as much as you do. It was Nadine's first time trying them, but she enjoyed them.

Lazy day

I've been nothing but lazy today. My left leg has been slightly numb all day. I read it might be one of the after effects of the injection I had yesterday.
