I just ordered my new T-Mobile TO GO phone.
Which means this weekend I will find the phone I lost in December.

I wanted the RAZR, but I settled for the mousy Motorola V195.

*     I'm a PAID USER now. I did it for the extra user icons (it's like collecting pokemon cards....).

*     I'm glad Marion Jones confessed - I wish it would have been because she wanted to do the right thing, not because she was found out. I feel bad for her competitors if they lost because the drugs she was taking gave her an edge,.

*     I watched Larry King Live last night, and he had Kid Rock on. I wonder if Larry King actually wants to interview these people - or if the network forces him to for ratings. I felt the same way after watching him interview Paris Hilton. I guess I just give Larry too much credit. There is nothing remotely interesting or newsworthy about Kid Rock - seriously.

*     This weekend it is do or die with Sierra's Halloween gown. I'm constructing sleeves now - they require french seams, so that's on the agenda this evening.. Getting the sleeves set into the gown will be the most difficult thing about this whole outfit - I'm devoting Sunday to it. The rest is gravy. I see no problem having this in the mail Tuesday.

*     I like my new Cell Phone (Nokia 6103) It's nothing special, but it has more options than my Nokia 6101. I like the option that lets you put the phone on silent mode for a specific length of time - I'm always forgetting to take my phone off vibrate after work (not like anyone actually calls me or anything).

I hate it when I finish a post and then get sidetracked on a LJ link - and click off the page. Damn.
Why can't I remember to copy the work to the clipboard first just in case??? ugh!!!

I'm going to be off work until Thursday, so I won't be online (since I don't have internet at home).
No LJ or Sparkpeople until then - wow, how will I cope??

Random life highlights below:

* Got home from work last night - no dogs in yard. Little one in neighbors yard (no clue how he got there) - Big one cruising the neighborhood. Will check all fences tomorrow. Hope nobody let them out.

* Bought new cell phone today. Tried to find a cheap one, but even a used one was more than I wanted to pay. The best overall deal was at the Tmobile site itself. I just got the newer model of what I had Nokia 6103. $59.99 and it came with a bonus of $25.00 refill card (which, for me, is 250 minutes). I feel okay about that.

* My main two objectives above all else while I'm off is to FINISH Sierra's gown (and mail it to her Wednesday) and get the fall garden COMPLETELY planted and prepped for fall. The only thing that could derail this is.....

* I'm on call for jury duty the entire month of October. I call in each Sunday evening. If I'm on the list I have to go in. I have to do this every Sunday in October (even if I'm chosen and serve for a jury the previous week). I personally that is asking a little too much, but what can I do). So, it's possible that I could spend all my vacation time this next week in a courtroom.

I have the T-mobile pay as you go plan. I was able to save the chip (and the battery), so I guess I'll see if I can find another phone - I have about 500 minutes left on the chip. I hate spending money!
