taylor swift is dating taylor lautner. if they get married, they should switch their last names with first and be mr & mrs taylor, swift & lautner.

my iphone had a spaz. turning it off didn't help. rebooting it didn't help. syncing [synching?] it didn't help. thought i was going to have to delete all the apps, but after deleting twitterific and facebook, the appstore app lit up with 2 updates - shazam and fox23 news. updated those 2 and tried a few apps and wahlah everything is working! reloaded twitterific & fb. even scramble2 is working again which is sort of weird now that i have wordpops b/c i can't decide which to play.

i am getting kind of tired of people telling me i am "lucky" to have an iphone. it's not like the $30 a month to pay the internet usage fee just appeared in my wallet. it's not like the $200 to purchase the device just appeared in my checking account. i work hard for the money. so hard for it, honey. i work hard for the money, so you'd better treat me right.


all my life, all i can remember is that there was not enough money. can't have the icee, not enough money. can't have the cute socks, not enough money. can't have a milkshake, a soda, a pack of gum, a watch, a record, a book, that necklace, that lip gloss, that shirt, the concert tickets, the new furniture, the camera, the art supplies. nothing nada zip zilch zero. no extras. no treats. wait for your birthday. wait for christmas. get a job. get your own money.

i am finally there. yeah, the roof needs to be replaced. yeah, the carpet is ancient and the appliances are broken, and there are big huge things that need to be done. but i am finally at the point where i can seriously save to pay actual cash money for the big stuff, and in the meantime, i can have the little stuff, too. i can have the kiwis and the lattes. i can go to the movies or buy a dvd. i can register for a 5k without waiting for payday. i can purchase a $15 fleece jacket at target and not return it the next day sick with guilt that i won't have the cash to cover it and the electric bill both.

so, yeah. i have an iphone. if you have to label it, you can call it a blessing or you can call it hard work - but don't call it luck.
