I'm doing 9 things
got rid of the pink Razr and love my Blackberry. it does everything i could ever want a device to do. i have ALL my music now loaded in there, internet, pictures, google maps to include voice turn-by-turn navigation, contacts, numbers, emails and email addresses…and instructions to my best friend, that if anything happens to me, that phone should be hurled with all due haste into the nearest large body of water!! Oh the stories that phone could tell…

I thought I was going to be home cleaning up last weekend but she called on Thursday morning and ask me to come help, so I put in my leave for Friday and left Friday morning at 6 a.m. and drove 300 miles to Virginia and helped her pack to move. That was pretty spontaneous! Read how I did it…

well, this year instead of going to Costa Rica with my (ex) husband, I went three times to New Orleans, once with my girlfriends for the French Quarter festival in April, once with my son in August (I won a weekend in the Windsor Court penthouse along with round-trip airfare, limo, etc), and once with my sister for Halloween. the trade-off was fine with me, because God knows, I LOVE NOLA!! Planning my next visit in April for the FQF-2011!
