What’s a iGirl to iDo?
My iPhone is not functioning properly. For a while now photos have a mysterious filmy filter appearance. (And it does me no good to be told to clean the phone – I’ve done that and it’s not the problem.) Now I can’t put it to sleep via the sleep button. It simply won’t work. No […]

When the Busy is for Good Reasons
Mom emailed last week, wondering if I was busy. Her evidence? No blog posts, no email messages and no Facebook posts. So yes – I’ve been busy and so has my guy. We’re playing catch up on some things, trying to get ahead on other things and juggling home repairs with work meetings. Fun times! […]
