Age is showing

I'm not sure what's worse, the white hairs on my head or the fact that I couldn't operate a brand new phone?
It's kinda embarrassing to be honest, I haven't been having much luck with my phone lately, between the "really I didn't get a missed call" and "what did you say I didn't hear you, wait let me move somewhere"!! I wanted to throw my phone up against a wall, thankfully I was up for an upgrade. I paced the store twice and the online store probably more like 10 times, looking at all the phones and options available to me. I'm thinking ewww I like that phone!! "whew, they want how much for that!!" OMG! Really? Why do they have to cost so much, and they never seem to work well getting close to your contract ending. I suppose that's part of the hidden plan that have for us, you keep buying new better more expensive phones hoping that it will be better then the next.
So my first two trips to the store were horrible, the people in there could have cared less I didn't wanna spend anymore, they didn't even try to help me find a solution to my growing phone bill plan. I left each time more frustrated then the time before and still stuck with this stupid phone. Which by the way won't hold a charge even a full day, I barley make it threw 3/4 of a day even 1 bar of power.
The second time I thought surely this can not be the service I'm going to get, so I went to the original store in our town the smaller burger king size store!! Why they built that huge flashy store I probably will never know, but it was not necessary.

The guy behind the counter said what's important to you? OH! well in that case getting all my phone calls and messages and being able to hear people. He sorta laughed at me. But that's okay, cause he was about to actually help me! Now I don't know about anyone else but I'm extremely old fashion when it comes to manners, helping others, and not jipping someone! SO, so far I 've had not so great of luck with these not so much younger then me yuppies working at these stores. Yet I probably sound like an old lady when I try explaining to them, but I still don't feel they have to get so snotty with me.

He showed me phones, and I decide on one, it has bells, whistles, horns, flashers, sparkles, glitter, and I even think a parade!! I'm not over doing that either, this dang phone had so much stuff on it, I wasn't sure if I needed to put it in a shadow box and saver it so it didn't get used and break, or get a genius degree some where. I messed with that darn thing for ever read manuals and messed with it some more. When you can't figure out or rather it takes you 10 minutes to figure out how to do something, it might be to much, he says use it for one week before you decide. Well the whole day I used the phone all I could think about was my old piece of pooie phone and how much I wanted it back so I could function threw my calls and text. That's sad considering I wanted to throw it up against the wall only days before.

THIS makes me and my age show. No I'm not super old okay not even close, but I'm old enough that all this flashy snazy new technology is over my head and I don't wanna touch it!

I walked outta there the second time with a phone that looks like one from 3 or 4 years ago, it's so simple it was sorta disappointing when I first started using it. But then I thought ha but I am using it and I don't have to worry about "OMG, what'd I just do, crap I hope I don't get charged extra for that" Cause I can't afford "Ooops"

Maybe next year or when ever I'm due for another upgrade I'll be ready for this fancy ever evolving technology!

So Thankful this Christmas

I"m beyond words this Christmas. #2 Challenge was to hold still and walk away. I have to learn to walk away and drop things and hold still before talking or acting out when something happens. What a lesson!! I 'd like to think we would all work on that, but I'm guessing we won't. And I'm betting it will be a struggle and never truly learned.

My great Holiday's that began when my husband woke me up on my birthday at midnight the moment my day started. He say's Happy Birthday, do you want to open your card? Ha yes I do please, but I can't really see right know, and I was sorta half asleep. So the comprehension at this point was alittle slow. But I managed to open it and read the wonderful card he picked out just for me. I'd really like to know where he keeps getting these cards? The wording on them, I'd say he sat and read a ton of cards before picking one out because wow! Next he hands me a rectangle shaped item wrapped in........FOIL! HA  yeah foil with a bow on top, I'd say I fell over with laughter but I was still snuggled in my bed.  he had talked about wrapping someone's gift for the holidays in foil cause he thought it would look cool. I don't know where he gets his idea but it was funny when he said it the first time. And then to turn around and receive it was even funnier!! :)) I unwrap it and low and behold it's a Intense DARK Chocolate 96% !! watch out people!!! Next he hands me a silver square shaped box. I open it and inside is another envelope shaped box, I unsnap it and there it is!! A secret I've always wanted. Now it's not a real secret secret, but I don't think I 've ever told him, let alone anyone else that i wanted a round disk silver pendant. And yet here I am starring at it with earrings to match!. Solid sterling heavy might I add very pretty pendant!! I LOVE IT! what a great way to start my birthday off. Going back to sleep was alittle rough but I managed :) I wake up to the smell of ...... Banana Pancakes! YES! When we first started dating he would make them for me when ever I would come over in the mornings, and life happens and I haven't had them in almost a year. I've mention'd them several times just in general over time. Can I say my guy listens when I least expect it!! I 'm off to work feeling the love, and who cares if no one else remembers today because I won't forget it!
All day when ever I would speak to him on the phone he would say Happy Birthday, I believe he told me more times then I could count.
To top it all off a wonderful Girlfriend took me with her to EL Fenix for dinner :)) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

We had 3 family dinners to attend, I feel obligated to go to everyone of them, but sometimes at the last minute I just wanna sit where ever I am and drown the the silence. I feel busy all the time so I'm no 100 percent sure if I am ever really fully present where ever I am. But none the less we did have fun at all three. And no one fell off the crazy wagon :)
