The importance of Phone insurance....

Though I loved the case that protected my phone for several months, it is safe to say that the thickness of it caused my button on the top of my phone to stick in the down position forever, because I could never feel the button beneath it.  Probably partly my fault too, but that said, I have to say the best thing I did last year when I got my Iphone 4 was to buy the Apple Care Insurance per Laura's insistence.

Today, I walked in, made my appointment, got great tips from Matthew of the Costa Mesa Crystal Court Apple Store (shout out! woo hoo!), found out I should have backed it up right before I came in, left with better instructions on setting up my new phone, when it was replaced, went home, backed it up three times, because I am about as paranoid as they come when it comes to losing information, then made an appointment at the Brea Mall Apple Store, then by 8:45p had laid Ivy (the first) to rest and brought home IIvy (the second).

Phew that was a mouthful.  The point is this, even if it seems like it may cost a lot and you might not ever use it, BUY THE INSURANCE because it just might save you some bucks in the end. I saved $200 by paying $69 for the apple plan and on top of that, it's two year coverage so I am still covered until June 2012. woo hoo!

Sissy Jo....

Well, it goes without saying that the days leading up to Comic Con were anything but non-emotional.  Is that even a word?  Seriously, my mind lately. Sissy Jo, one of the three girls I call my soul sister, passed away on June 29th, her funeral was held two days before we left for Comic Con. Admittedly, this reminded me, as well, of mama being sick last year during Comic Con, so of course our 8th trip to the 'Con', was a little bluer than I think we had hoped, but we did manage to have a good time, because we know that is what Jo would have wanted.  As we all know you can't make the pain just disappear, or the sadness that comes with losing someone so important and special to your life.  As anyone could tell you, JoAnn was a force to be reckoned with, a little whirlwind of organization, love and smiles.  She loved many who were in her path and she taught us lessons of survival, never giving up and fighting the good fight. I me...

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Day 8 of 30 days of gratitude.

Today I dedicate this blog to Sissy Jo.  Today would have been JoJobean's 47th birthday and she lived every moment the best that she could.  I am forever grateful that I spent her last night on earth with her.  It was like old times when we had a lot of Sissy sleep-over's, watching "ghosty" shows, chatting, being sisters.   That night she told me her dreams for me and what she was sure would be my reality for the future. What people didn't see was JoAnn's fight.  When it was posted on Facebook that she had passed away, so many of my own family and friend's commented that they didn't even know she was still sick.  In fact, she was on her way to do payroll when she collapsed, the afternoon she passed away.  She had set-up a makeshift office at home, because her dedication to the work and people she cared about, never stopped. JoAnn was re-diagnosed in December 2008.  She had been in remission for almost four years when breast cancer came ba...
