Life has been insanely busy the last six weeks or so. We've been out of town almost every weekend, have had friends visiting from out of town or, the rare weekend day that I've been home, has resulted in frantic attempts to catch up on things (think laundry, scrubbing toilets, etc.).
Cooking has been few and far between. Oh, I'm getting dinner on the table, but it's usually a broiled steak or opening a package of pre-cooked shrimp, throwing it on some lettuce and calling it a salad. I have a stack of cooking magazines dating back to September that I'm still trying to get to (which are stacked on the October and November versions which have already been delivered).
But...though I am dead tired, pounding my head against the wall screaming for some down time, and it means taking up even more time trying to learn a new electronic gizmo, I am happy. Because I now own one of these.
The crazies will not stop. Currently my next free weekend is the second weekend in December and, well, I'm sure some Christmas activity, be it shopping or party, will take up the remaining weekends until the new year. But again, that's okay, because I have a new toy to play with (as does Mr. L). It makes not cooking almost worth it.
Have fun with the new toy! Mrs. L, you are such a hip, techno type!

Ohh! I am green with envy! No AT&T in my future, so a iPod touch is as close as I will get. ;-( You are such a techie!!!

Ohh! Lucky! I am jealous.
You should try frozen pizza. They're quite delicious.

Mrs. L has wanted one for a year and I made her wait for the 2nd generation, let Apple sort out the issues. This iPhone rocks, mobile computing is the future. I can do my banking, stock trading, email, etc etc ad nauseum from this little baby. I also dislike ATT, but they seemed to have improved their service greatly from when I had them many years ago. Just having the web access is so handy, let alone the GPS, ipod, movies etc you can use it for! (and Yes, I used to work for Apple )

Carolyn - I'm far from techno, but I have a husband who is (I still haven't set up my voice mail on the dang phone and it's been a week!)
Shannon - I have all the flavors of bacon salt and yes, I need the mayo! I e-mailed my Uncle (your Dad) about the iphones.
Kathie - OH the ipod touch is very cool! If we didn't get the phones, I was definitely going to upgrade to one of those.
Louise - I've been so jealous of all my friends who already have the phone, it's nice to have someone be jealous of me!
Emeline - Love certain brands of frozen pizza but I keep saying I'm going to buy pizza dough at Trader Joes and make my own.
Zoomie - Here's hoping you can get an iphone soon. They really are cool.
Mr. L - Thank you Thank you. I do love my phone (and the cool apps you've planted on it :)
