6 Days/iPhone?

Time: 6 Days/ 15 Hours/ 45 Minutes

   So things have been going great right?! RIGHT! Still nicotine free. Actually tried to explain to my youngest what mommy was trying to accomplish for the new year. She didn't really understand -- 

mommy: did you know that mommy stopped smoking?
baby girl: why?
mommy: because it wasn't good for mommy to smoke.
baby girl: yeah, you know why mommy? because you can't smoke at the store. You have to go home and smoke.
mommy: yes, you're right. and daddy stopped smoking too.
baby girl: mommy, did everybody stop smoking?
mommy: no, because they have to choose to stop smoking.
baby girl: why?
mommy: **stumped on what to say**
baby girl: mommy, mommy, mommy... remember when we went to the beach and had the slide?

  -- as you can see, trying to explain this to her was a little hard for me at first. Still don't think that she understood me. especially since she changed the subject pretty fast. But that's a four year old for you. I'm just hoping that all the my kids, when they try to remember their childhood, the most significant thing isn't mommy smoking. Really don't want to let that be an image for them. My oldest was more happier that I had quit smoking. I think that she's got it in her head that she wants grandma to quit. And grandma should. But i know for a fact that grandma isn't going to listen to her. Grandma doesn't listen to me either. I'm secretly wondering if I could get away with throwing away my mom's stash that she puts in the freezer and what her reaction would be.... HA! Yeah right! Our relationship may be better, but I know better not to do something like that.

   Alright, so all-in-all, things are progressing along just fine. The exercising is going along great as well. I did miss yesterday, but will make up for it today.

  

     
   Now on to the other subject. iPhone. For the past couple of months, we've both [or should I say me], been looking into changing our phone/phone company. Currently, i'm with mobi. He's with boost. Both have the no-contract plan that we both liked. But both did have problems.

 

 

mobi - would not receive phone calls    boost - would not receive phone calls
  - text messages would be delayed   - text messages would be delayed 
  - voice messages would be delayed    - no custom ring-tones/ purchase
  - convenience fee is not needed   only

   Being that these were the only way to get in contact with the both of us, it wasn't really right for us. I needed a phone that would allow the school to contact me if ever there was an emergency with any of my children. Not receiving phone calls just isn't right. Especially with my middle, being that she could have a seizure [so not wanting that]. Of course, this wasn't the only reason. But it was one of many. At first, I was going to switch to boost just to have the direct-connect. Youngest loves to bother daddy at work with that. I thought that it would be easier for me to have one just so she could do that. Then, it went in to the cosmetic aspect of all. Yes, i want a pretty phone =P So, i tried looking in to verizon, t-mobile, sprint, and at&t. It all came down to either having a Blackberry, which I was loving the Blackberry Storm for a while, or the iPhone. With my mom having a Blackberry of her own, I was able to try it out. I'm not sure that I like the qwerty keyboard with the keys so small. Or the middle scroll ball that it has. Using the internet on it was also confusing for me. Now for the fact that I own a iPod touch, to me the iPhone would be something that is easy for me to use. The only thing that I would have to get used to is the act of making a call and texting. Other than that, all the other features would be easy for me to use. So with it all figured out on which company and what phone, all that's left are the accessories. Or so one would think.

   So here we are, not even having the possession of said product, we're all obsessed with phone cases. The past 2 days a lot of time was spent on the internet looking and reviewing all the iPhone cases that there are out there. Seen so many top 5 videos that people had put on youtube and wondering if how they review a product is that influencing my opinion of a certain product. At first, I was wanting a silicone phone case being that I had thought that with a silicone case, it was going to be able to withstand a fall. But after seeing all the there was out there, minds were changing [sorry to him being that he was searching for silicone cases specifically for me] So here are our top choices, or at least it's what I think are our top choices.

 

   

   Yes, they're all black, except for the white one which he likes. I'm not really wanting a different color. But i'm sure that opinion will change in the future. I'm leaning more toward the first and the last one. The first one is the Incase slider and the last is the Speck Candy Shell. Loving the sleek design. Which is what I want. Don't need no bulkiness here. The Skull Candy is what I like for him. It suits him to a T. I'm just wondering what everyone else, who has an iPhone, what cases do they have. I think having an opnion from someone that i truly know other than listening to someone over the internet, is much better.

 

   And with all the other accessories out there, there's just so many to go through. Earpieces, arm bands, clips.... it's crazy! And to remind again... still don't own the product. So we shall see. Said product will hopefully be owned within the next few months and all this researching with be worth it. Does this mean that I will finally be caught up with everyone else and the new modern technology? Does it also mean that i'm just a follower wanting what a lot of other people have? I'm gonna say it... who cares? I don't. BAA!!
