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...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...
