Workin the Wide Belt

I've been really digging the belt with cardigan look lately!  I frequently wear a cardigan sweater over a sleeveless dress to work; I recently threw a wide belt on with it and it was very flattering.  I definitely need to add to my wide belt collection - right now I only have black and red....a purple or pink added to my collection would definitely match a large portion of my wardrobe!

Goodbye Dropped Calls!

Cell phones aren't a big deal to me; actually, being able to talk and text on the phone is awesome but having that next big high tech gadget doesn't top my priority list.  What is important is not having my calls dropped, which seemed to be happening frequently with my Straight Talk phone.  It's extremely frustrating to be in the middle of a serious discussion then realize that the call dropped and for the last two minutes you've been bouncing back deep thoughts with only yourself!  This led me to purchase, with my Michael's high-tech assistance, a new smart phone with a touch screen.  Nope, not an I-Phone but at something on the higher echelon of technology.  It also has a much better service range so those deep chats involving only myself should be a thing of the past.

I'm happy to report that I was able to transfer over my existing number.  However, my SIM card doesn't work in my new phone so I've been gradually adding in all my contacts.  Plus learning how the darn thing works; Sam has a similar phone so he has been very helpful to his dear mother as she fumbles her way through settings and apps and widgets and shortcuts.  My biggest challenge has been to get my Bluetooth, my lifeline to civilization while I'm on the road, set up on the new phone.  Guess I'll have to break down and read the manual!!

Not for the Weak Hearted

Here are Sam's rewards from his dentist visit today.  For some odd reason he wanted to keep his teeth; when I asked him later why, he said they asked him if he wanted to take them home.  With his mouth full of cotton and head full of Valium he grunted "Huh" which they interpreted as "Yes."  So they placed his finery in a small cushioned box for safekeeping.  I did have to draw the line when he said he would be placing these teeth under his pillow and he better receive a generous payoff from the Tooth Fairy for all the pain he went through to obtain these teeth.    Not as much pain as Mama will be receiving once the bill has been sent!
