Insomnia Strikes!

2006-09-28T01:25:00.000-05:00

Its 1 am.

I'm sitting in bed... playing with photoblaster and destroying a photo
of myself on my sidekick...while listening to Common mp3's.

Plzplzplz... save me mr. sandman!! I got a busy day tomorrow.

Poor Cody... was chasing after our naughty puppy (because he got out of
the yard again) and skinned his knee up really bad. He is lying on the
couch now recovering.

In The Doghouse

2006-09-26T22:23:00.000-05:00

This is the face of a puppy that's in HUGE trouble!

Why you ask?

Today he put me thru hell. First he took off and it took me about an
hour of chasing him through peoples backyards to catch him

When we finally got ahold of him I just stuck him in the car so that I
could go and run a few errands since he wasted my time already and I was
behind schedule..

My first stop was putting some gas in the car....so on my way to the
store I stopped to pump some gas...and he jumped out of the window of
the car!!!!

I was so mad! And panicked! I didn't want him to get hit by a car so I
didn't want to chase him. ... but he wouldn't come to me when I called
him. Eventually he ran into traffic and dodged getting hit by a car and
crossed the intersection and ran off.

I looked for him for another 45 mins or so but there was so much traffic
cus it was rush hour...and he was nowhere to be seen.

I went home and burst into tears.

I was so scared cus he was too far from home to find his own way back...
and he wouldn't have food to eat...or he could get hit by a car...etc..

I called up my hubby and asked him what I should do. He reminded me
that turbos collar has my cell # on it and to check my voicemail.

Luckily some nice guy named Adam and his girlfriend had picked him up
and called to leave me a message.

I was so happy! But... I'm not gonna let the mutt know it... omg
grrrrrrrrrr. He really got me upset today and wasted alor of my time!
He is in big trouble for the rest of the night!

Can't sleep!

2006-09-22T03:18:00.000-05:00

Im in bed and I'm sooo awake.
My fault for drinking a soda at midnight while watching family guy (I
luv stewie. He's such a qt.)

Anyways... today I came in touch with some old friends via mspace.
People I haven't heard from in almost 9 years. Crazy how myspace makes
the world seem like a small one.

As much as myspace is lame...it is great for keeping in touch with
longlost friends.
Most of my friends and family are what I like to call... computer
"challenged".
Myspace is easy for them 2 use so its easier for me 2 use it than try to
teach them how 2 install aim or adium.

I'm gonna take another shot at sleepin.

As always...excuse my typos. I'm typing with my thumbs.

Spooky Crafts

2006-09-18T14:05:00.000-05:00

Since Kareem isn't in daycare anymore we've been doing some crafts and
projects here at home. I found these cute little foam kits for making
masks at Target.

They came out pretty cute!

New Wallpaper!

2006-09-17T01:58:00.000-05:00

The little generator on sk3themes.com works pretty well when their site
is up. Poor guys need some beefed up servers.

The background is a photo of Ameen & I when we were in DC a couple years
ago, right before we went to dinner at a really nice Carribean restaurant.

I found my phone!!

2006-09-17T01:09:00.000-05:00

Yay. My phone was missing for about 2 weeks. It was here when I went
to bed and gone when I got up.

It just didn't make sense. Today I finally found it in the bottom of
this laundry basket. It is where I store all of the socks that have no
matches. Lol!!

No wonder I didn't come across it sooner!

We are finally done painting the living room.

Sorry about the mess! We still need to have a contractor come and build

Then the last step will be to hide the cables for the tv in the wall.

I can't wait!

Never sign anything when you're drunk. It will always come back to haunt you.

He really thinks he will win this bet!
Poor guy :(

"I Chris Armor bet the following named that I will yell @ the Yankees on this 4th day of September in the year of 2006, and if I loose the bet I may exchange "streaking" across Wrigley field instead of paying up my losses."

HEHE. Don't forget to program your tivo's. We're all waiting to see that red speedo.

The con's? It saves the pictures at a really really small

New Table

2006-08-28T21:34:00.000-05:00

This is our new pub style breakfast table that was delivered today.

The chairs have white suede seats! They're so cute!

The flowers in the vase on the table were a house warming gift from
Shireen.

Also pictured is the rug I got from World Market. It was a total
steal. I got it for $25 marked down numerous times from $120.

Behind the blinds in the back is a deck that is raised above the lower
deck. I put a small table and chairs out there along with a potted
garden for a nice little outdoor seating area for eating breakfast at or
reading the paper outside.

Better headphones for sidekick3

2006-08-02T17:12:00.000-05:00

My stock headset that came with the sk3 broke because they're junk.

Since then I've been harassing tmobile to send me a replacement or at
least offer a better set to purchase to play mp3s with, because without the headphones for the 2.5mm jack you can't listen to mp3's on the sk3. Heck... I'd even settle for buying another set of the ones that came with the phone, as long as they work.

Finally I ran across a post on the hiptop forums about some headphones at Verizon. I went into the verizon store today at the local mall and picked these up for $39.99. They're sony, they dont have to be shoved into your ears and the hands free button for answering calls WORKS with sk3. Just make sure you hold down the button for about 2 seconds when answering a call.

What is up tmobile?!? When are we gonna get some good accessories for SK3? Why should I have to go to Verizon to get something so simple.

P.S. If you do prefer the inner ear option, or ear bud option, they've got those at Verizon too.
