New phone!

<<----me dramatizing my facination with my new phone :o)

After ordering my new (and "free") phone on August 2, I received it in the mail today. I've used the same phone for the past two years, and so a few more days (or weeks) really wouldn't have made that much of a difference. BUT....the fact that Mr. Mouse decided to chew through my phone charger wire is what's made me a little more antsy--more on Mr. Mouse in a later post. [random side note...Christa, my roommate that has just returned from Hawaii and Pennsylvania, has turned on some fun soul/jazz music and is here dancing for me trying to get me to dance with her...what a nut! So I'm amused enough to interrupt my train of thought in order to include you in the fun :o)] I'll spare you all the details of how I've tried to charge my phone the past week or so using Christa's car charger...just know I was ready to get my new Motorola e815 today! Seeing different people's phones, I've tended to think all the phone accessories and ornaments are ridiculous and unnecessary....and, while they still may be, this phone was free (because of my two-year contract stuff) and I'm having a ball! Whee!!

Lindsay, to answer your comment from two posts ago, my bread was nummy! It really isn't that special...it's wheat bread..with a smidgen of honey...but my sandwiches taste *delish*...perhaps simply because I am aware of the personal labor that went into it. I got a workout kneading that dough! So it's tasty. I made two loaves, and I think I might take the other to the Mahlers.

Next time I think I'll try something a little more exciting...like cinnamon raisin, which I made in Af. Mmmm... I like bread! But before I make any more bread, I'm going to make "Triple Fudge Brownies" from a yummy box mix that I've had for a while. :) I need some simple things to break up the more time-/effort-consuming.

For Spanish this semester, I will be writing a journal entry for every class session. So I'm considering posting those (or some of them) on this blog, and will just let you ignore them if you don't care to read them or just aren't familiar Spanish. And by all means, you can make corrections or suggestions or ask any questions you would like. So after I publish this post, I'll put my first journal entry in. We are supposed to write about seven sentences and are encouraged to include material from the chapter we are covering. Clearly, then, that affects what I choose to write about.
