New Additions-New Traditions

My sister has a blog where she mostly writes about her kids. If you've read her blog, you may have seen that they have a tradition where they take a picture of the boys on their birthday wearing Danny's letter jacket from high school. Here is one the pictures:


Well I don't have kids, so you would think that this tradition would not pertain to me right now. Well I shouldn't let a little thing like not having kids stop me from doing this myself, should I?

If you have read my other posts you have read about my IPhone situation. A week after I got my new phone Apple announced a new version. I tried to pretend that I didn't care...like it didn't bother me that they came out with a better and cheaper model a week later. I bottled up those feelings I had, but I was fuming...FUMING! Ladies and Gentlemen...I am no longer fuming. I would like to present the newest addition to my family...Da da da daaaaaaa!!! (pretend that a trumpet played that, or a kazoo if you prefer) IPhone 3G:
It is so beautiful and fast. I love it like a real son, except a real son couldn't give you point by point directions using a global positioning system. It will be a part of my life for the next two years, barring any fatal drops or water damage. But in that case I have Apple Care, which will replace it for free. I've never seen a baby come with that kind of guarantee? I feel like I need to start my traditions with it. My letter jacket is packed away somewhere at the 'rents house in San Antonio, so I used another jacket to get the job done:


We have so much fun!

That was the funniest thing ever, I especially love the leather jacket over the phone...I am still laughing hysterically.

That is funny. What happened to phone #1?? Did you trade it in for a newer version?

This made me laugh very hard. I still kick-it old school with my ORIGINAL, VINTAGE iPhone and refuse to get a 3G because that's just how I roll, dammit. You probably won't believe this but I'm wearing my daughter's letterman's jacket at this very moment and you'll never believe what colors it is......BURGUNDY and GRAY!!!!*cue "Twilight Zone" theme song*
Creepy, huh?
