Hi all and happy Friday!! TGIF and all that good stuff.
Well it’s been a super busy week of running around and getting things ready for the Christmas season at our house. We spent the long Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas with my folks and had a great time. Way too much food as usualy but it was all great! I’ve been wanting to hit some more pumpkin pie but just haven’t had the time to make any yet…
I’ve spent the last week with the new Blackberry Storm and have mixed feelings. I mean there’s an obvious coolness factor but it’s just not an Iphone. There are some things I’m really liking about it while other aspects are taking some getting used to. The typing is probably one of the hardest things to get accustomed to. I’m used to being able to crank out e-mails, text messages really fast on any of the other Blackberries I’ve owned with a regular full qwerty keyboard. The touch screen is not quite as easy. It’s way better after a week then at first, I could hardly get through a couple words without making a mistake the first few days. The typing is faster now and making far less mistakes so I guess I’m getting happier with it as I get more used to it. The web browser is nice, the few apps I’ve played with are good. The movie playback seems to work great for the few minutes I tried it, that will probably be a great feature for those plane rides or long waits somewhere. Oh and the 3 MP camera works well as expected. All in all great device, I have no desire at this point to go back to a previous device so that has to be saying something!
So Christmas preparations have been slow this year. Usually we put everything up Thanksgiving weekend but we were out of town so we’ve been peicing it together over a few days. We finally finished the indoor decorations last night so now I need a bit of time to start on the outside lights - I like it when it’s done but I always find it to be a pain!! Here’s a few portraits of my gorgeous kids from the night we put the tree up…
Take care & god bless!
