My BlackBerry
Let me tell you about my new best friend. Her name is Pearl and she was brought to me by the letter B and the fruit BlackBerry.
I've dreamed about her for long befor I got her. The night before she arrived at my door, she was in my dream, really.
She has brought me the capability of using three email accounts at the same time, seamlessly. She allows me to make phone calls. She allows me to check the weather forecast. All of this from anywhere there is cell service. And where there is no cell service, Pearl entertains me with the Brick Breakers game. (I've gotten very good at this game!)
There were two things I didn't like about Pearl. I overlooked these things because they are insignificant when compared to the greatness that is Pearl.
Today, I learned how to delete the "sent from Verizon Wireless BlackBerry" signature from emails sent using Pearl. I also, in looking for this, found the super simple way to browse the internet. Before, I could only find the shortcuts that BlackBerry provided to the weather and the news. Now I can easily go to any URL I desire!
Not only, do I feel a little more tech savvy, but I have even MORE appreciation for my beloved Pearl.
Oh yeah, Pearl has become my lifeline into the world of FaceBook. She really is invaluable. I find myself staring into her little screen many hours of the day. I'm going to go read a book now.

Tiger Time
Coincidence? I heard this morning on the radio that Tiger Woods is back in action and competing. His legs are stronger than ever. The last time he competed was June 16, 2008. The last time I blogged (before yesterday) was in June. Coincidence?

A few random thoughts
To get back in the swing of things... I've now tested out this nifty email address that lets me post directly to the blog by just sending an email! So...here are two things:

Wingnut? Where Are You?
Did you miss me? I haven't been here in sooo long! Here are the excuses:
Life last summer became so busy with bridal showers, a wedding (mine!), a barn dance (to celebrate my wedding!), our first holidays as married people, etc... Lately MY HUSBAND (formerly known on this blog as "A") and I have been hunkering in. Winter this year has been cold. It's also been full of snow! I enjoyed many hours watching perfect snowflakes land on my gloves and sleeves. I love snowflakes.
I've been testing out some (shhhh don't let Blogger hear this) other websites (aaack!). We've got a picasa website with all our photos uploaded (wedding and other adventures). We've also got a pbwiki website where we brag about our honeymoon plans and have been summarizing our adventures, sort of as dialogue to accompany the picasa website of pictures. If you know us, you have these links... If you want the links leave me a comment here.
So, with a renewed inspiration and appreciation for the fun that is blogging, I am back! This is only the first post of 2009 and I'm expecting it to be a most excellent year. Stay tuned and follow along. It's gonna be a wild ride ('cuz that's the way I like my life).
