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 […]

Turnabout is Fair Play
He bought me an iPad for an early birthday present. So I cashed in some Amazon gift card money that we’ve earned through our health rewards program and got him this fancy-pantsy triathelete training watch. The Garmin 910XT. He’s in runner geek heaven!
Happy (VERY) Early Birthday!
Last weekend, my love said he was in the mood to run to the store and asked me to go with him. So I did. No clue where we were going, by the way. He pulled up in front of Best Buy, walked in and told the first sales clerk that greeted us that his […]
Upon Reflection
It’s now been a week since I last looked at Facebook and, other than a couple of times that I felt a desire to check up on friends and family, I honestly didn’t miss it that much. What this tells me is that I rely on Facebook more as a time waster – when I’m […]
My REAL Running Watch
My team does a really neat thing for birthdays – we all contribute to a group gift (usually a gift card), plus bring treats and a nice card. Of course, my birthday was last month and my team gave me a gift card to Luke’s Locker. Shopping for running gear – YAY!!! The other weekend […]
On Social Hiatus
I’ve been considering taking a break from Facebook for a while – that’s why I put it on my 101 List. It’s not that I think I’m on Facebook all the time, overposting and oversharing. I just find that I surf over to Facebook when I’m bored, whiling away time in the news feed even […]
Weird Things Happen
It seems like every few months (sometimes weeks or days), weird things just happen. Like this text I received from a friend: Just received word of your husband’s passing…I’m so sorry! What do you need/want from us? We love you! I read this aloud to my very-much alive Boy, who happened to be sitting next to me, drinking […]
Journalists: We Still Need You
A week ago, a hacker took over the AP Twitter account and posted a message about the US president being attacked. The stock market went on a nose dive. A few weeks ago, hundreds of thousands of people watched the Boston Marathon “live” via Twitter. Millions then followed developments regarding the horrific bombings via Twitter. […]
Delving Into Digital-Free
I’m really really glad I did something for a 101 challenge. I went digital-free one night a week. No computer. No iPhone. No sneaking peeks at The Boy’s computer or iPhone. The experience was transformational. I’m on the computer (and my phone) nearly all day most days. Taking a break at night, just one night […]
