Funny & Random Sunday

I don't have much for content on this Sunday. I am pretty boring these days. I thought I would share some of my Facebook funny finds and some random photos.

Enjoy!

If you change the word t-shirt to metals...I am so there!

I have joined the Pumpkin Spice craze and seem to have become addicted. GULP! I tried a decaf Americano with three pumps Pumpkin Spice sauce (two pumps in the hot drinks), three Splenda, and a little cream. Oh my. It is delicious both hot and cold. I describe this drink as “richer tasting.” I am not sure if is the full sugar syrup or what but it just is very creamy and rich. Usually I can't drink the whole drink in on setting. Well, I could but don't feel I need to. Regardless, it is yummy and I see my pocket book getting smaller this fall season.

This is the hibiscus flower at Jamie's house. She said the whole bush opened up and bloomed recently. I do love fall but you can't deny spring/summer is beautiful.

Un-Eventful Saturday

Good Morning/Afternoon.

My Saturday has not been super eventful but I feel like I’ve been running around since I woke up!

Kenyon and I went to LePeep for breakfast.  We had planned to walk the four mile roundtrip route but the rain deterred us.  Well, that and hunger.  After a yummy breakfast we headed to the Farmer’s Market downtown.  The rain held off while we made a quick loop through the venders and got some peaches, which is what I headed there for.  When Dawny was in town last week we got the best peaches and I’ve been thinking about them all week.

I am working a half day today to help out a supervisor that needed the afternoon off.  Today is my last day of work and then I have 10 days off!  Kenyon and I are headed to New Mexico to see the in-laws.

I hope your Saturday is treating you well.

My New Toy

“Say hello to my little (well, BIG actually) friend.”

Hello iPhone 6 Plus.  Where have you been all my life??

If you aren’t aware: a) I have a spending problem and b) I have an Apple problem.  I had no desire to purchase a new iPhone 6…until I heard they were coming out with a larger screen size.  Apple just teased me with the “larger” screen size on the iPhone 5 and yet I still had screen-envy over my husband’s Galaxy phone.   The larger screen on the iPhone 5 was nothing compared to the release of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.  I am so happy I was able to upgrade as it would be difficult to wait any longer for this awesome new large screen size!

After Apple announced the new phones, the pre-sale started at midnight Pacific Time on Sept 12^th.  My coworkers and I were on a group phone call at 12:50 am all waiting for our opportunity to purchase our new toys.  Apple sure put a kink in things by taking down the Apple Store just before 1am and not bringing it back up for several hours.  After about 40 minutes of waiting we were all able to order our phones on the pre-sale through our individual cell phone company websites.  Talk about a headache!  Kelsie and John got their new iPhone 6 one week later but mine was delayed.  The shipping date was scheduled for October 2-13 and much to my surprise, my order was processed sooner and my phone arrived on my doorstep Tuesday.

I’M IN LOVE.

The iPhone 6 Plus is BIG with a 5.5 inch digital display.  The phone is also the largest and thinnest iPhone ever made with it being 6.22 inches tall and 3.06 inches wide.  This phone is being dubbed a phablet, a mix between a phone and tablet.  A phone of this size won’t cater to everybody.  Had there only been one phone release and the iPhone 6, with a slightly smaller screen size of 4.7 inch, was the only one available iPhone I might have been happy.  However, it is great that Apple released both phones giving customers a choice of which size they prefer. 

I am on cloud nine.

My coworker Shauna was asking me last week what I was going to name my new iPhone.  While I don’t have a habit of naming all my prized possessions, my MacBook Air, Karl, does have a name.  I was thinking I might call my new phone Stuart.  He looks like a Stuart.
