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!

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...

Journey to 40 Day 1.

Well the title is misleading, because my Journey to 40 began on January 10th, but in an attempt to turn my blog into something more than just a random thought or picture, I decided that maybe if I document my day to day trials of weight loss and getting my heart into better shape, it might help me to stay motivated, because this isn't just about being healthy and fit, this is about saving my life. I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot.  It's several things, but most importantly it entails a hole in my heart that in my case was coupled with a crushed valve.  I had a dacron patch placed on my heart's hole (insert pun or joke here) and according to recent tests, the pig valve I thought I had, turned out to be a reconstructed valve.  At least that is what we all have come to believe and I prefer to not be opened up to find out.  That said, my life has always been slightly different than other kids. For what seemed like an eternity, but was only about 8-9 years, I walke...

Coping in the aftermath...mama is gone...

People keep asking me, "how are you?", or they keep saying, "I can't believe how strong you are", or "how well you are holding up", but the truth is, I feel like a mess inside.  I'm no different than anyone else though. I hurt, I feel pain, I cry. I mourn, but I suffered through depression for twenty years, many of them without medication and I learned that by suppressing my feelings, they just fester and burst out like a bottle of Coke that's been shaken and the cap left on.  I'm not strong, I just have a good, tight fitting mask, that comes off every night when I crawl into bed and goes on every morning before I step out of my room. Actually I take that back. I do feel like I have gained a little bit of something I never had before, my Mama's strength and the I'm-not-going-to-take-your-sh*t-attitude.  Yeah, she wasn't big on swearing, hence the *.  I guess it is a little shout out to her, since I am sure that even though I ...
