Operation iPhone

While it's not the slickest I've ever done by posting about it here, I wanted to talk about the iPhone. I recently found out (today) that with AT&T, you can have a risk free trial of any phone (iPhone included) and have the option to back out for up to 30 days and get all your money back. As our current Verizon contract is about to expire, and I'm not too thrilled with their phone option line up, it has me thinking. The whole reason the iPhone was out of the picture was because of the known shoddy reception they have in Gardiner. Now with the option to try it out first before we commit, it as me drooling. And, according to my husband, I'm drooling a lot.

In another note, the Horse sculptures that are up in Saugerties are being vandalized, mine included. The Chain from my "Hudson River Chain Horse" has been stolen and kids are peeling the Quarters off the "Hudson Valley Quarter Horse". I hate people. Now I have to wait until it stops raining for a few days to re-apply some paper quarters and apply more clear varnish, and also buy more chain, attach and hope that people don't steal it again.

And speaking of rain, I'm collecting funds to build an Ark.

the big Q

Is it morals or friendship that bind us together. Is is gender or loyalty that weigh our decisions. Is a long time friendship, no matter the current predicament overthrow the morals of the situation? Should you stay neutral and then go with the most beneficial party? How does one decide in the matters of life and love?

The times they are a changin'.

So Excited!

Our good friends Christine & Kevin just brought another darling little girl into the world on Thursday night. Their new little one is adorable, of course, and looks a lot like her father. After our visit at the hospital to meet her last night, we headed over to their house to take our shift at babysitting duty of their 3 year old, MaryElla.

I thought it would be great to take some video of her reacting to the news of her new sister. The above video is by far the cutest. But, she is right... her little sisters name is quite a mouthful.

lets get some Oral

We recently bought a 2 pack of Oral B toothbrushes from target. The colors in the pack were green and red. How did we decide who would get which color?

1. Favorite color ranking. Steve's partial to green.
   
2. Light saber colors, red for Darth Vader, green for Luke Skywalker. I'm a girl, and girls are evil, I would get the Red one.
   
3. Luck of the draw, it really didn't matter to us.
   
4. Who ever brushed their teeth first next got the Go, and the other would get the Stop
5. We share toothbrushes
   

Yeah. This is a real question.... Winner gets some of my famous homemade potato salad.

Reflection

I whistled today. Not that odd, but as I was whistling, I realized that I haven't whistled since my Dad died. We used to whistle songs together. I would start one, and he would finish it, or we'd go back and forth until the song was either finished or we couldn't figure out how the end went. I miss that. But why feel sad over something that would bring happiness? So, I was finishing up the shortcake for the strawberries we'll have tonight, I whistled as loud as I could, in hopes that he could hear me and wherever he is, he was whistled along with me.

The most pressure is what you put on yourself

Steppin' out, getting serious, starting from scratch, reinventing a brand, what is the brand, how do I communication it, using what medium, too many directions to explore, one will never be good enough, needs to be awesome or maybe just cool, with tons of different facets that go along with it, easy way or hard way, actually sitting down to do it, too much caffeine, execution and then inevitable launch, to be judged and critiqued by my peers, for the soul purpose of growth and eventual hopeful profit.
