This morning the misses is the proud new owner of an Apple I Phone and Mac Book Pro. I didn’t want to do it but had no choice. The Mac Book is what she knows how to use and is the same price as a Windows based computer. The I Phone was an add on so her phone and computer sync together plus she’s been using a 4 year old phone for sometime since her other one broke. It’s like driving a 1960 model car. Anyhow she’s all happy and my job is to make her happy! Monday morning she has a class (we signed up for unlimited training for a year for $99) to learn more about all the features on her new toys. So there you have it. For this kind of money, the oldest said he could have had a dirt bike, the youngest wants his own computer and I of course could have bought a horse, but she needs this not only for her personal use but work as well. We’re desperately hoping our other computer will stay alive long enough to get all our pictures off of it as we have pics of the boys from when they were baby’s and that’s the only copies. Keep your fingers crossed.
We met at the Apple Store around 11:30 to contribute to the Apple empire. Before that, the misses was down at the office and I ran a few work errands. The boys had a good day at school and I picked them up for a quick ice cream cone on the way home because Mom was at acupuncture and that’s what dad’s do!
Looks like they found one of two brothers that were responsible for the Boston bombings and killing a policeman at MIT. The other brother is still on the lose. They are apparently from Chechnya and were educated here on the taxpayers dime, nice. You have to wonder what makes some people do the things they do these days.
Tonight we’re going out to dinner with Libby and Carl, our dermatologist friends, at a fun restaurant downtown. It’s supposed to warm up for the next few days and then, yup, you guessed it, snow on Monday and Tuesday. The only positive thing about that is that maybe this late freeze will kill the cotton on the cottonwood trees plus we need the moisture.
The misses new phone and Siri (the virtual person on her phone that talks to her and answers questions) woke her up at 6am as last night she asked “Siri, please wake me up at 6am”, and so she, (like Siri is a real person) or the phone, did. Unbelievable the things technology can do these days. It’s a blessing and a curse. Some days I long for the 50’s or 60’s when we weren’t glued to our cell phones and computers. I for one am trying to get off the grid!
Time to run, I have cinnamon rolls in the oven for the boys. The way I figure it, they’ll be at school before the sugar kicks in! Hope I’m right.
Take care and God Bless.
