I’m THANKful for the 21st Century

It’s Day 5 of the Plenty To Be Thankful For Blog Challenge & Swap



iPhone

I honestly don’t know how I lived without my iPhone. I can check my email, Twitter, blogs, weather, Instagram (favorite app), etc. I’m sure a device like this would have been gawked at like something from an alien planet 50 years ago.

Internet

The internet has opened a whole new world of information and connections. You can stay in touch with loved ones via Facebook, blogs and Twitter use Google to find out an answer to just about anything and shop in your PJ’s.

Travel

Between planes, trains and automobiles, it’s much easier to get from A to B, which ranks high on my list since I love to travel. Although when I was a kid, I thought we might have flying cars Jetsons style at this point.

2 on Tuesday: Christmas Wish List

Today, I’m linking up with Andrea over at My Chihuahua Bites for 2 on Tuesday. Please pay her blog a visit (if you haven’t already). She’s been one of my blog friends for over 3 years and pretty much rocks.



The question today is…

What’s your Christmas wish list? What do you hope to receive from Santa?

Questions like this are easy to answer. I have a wish list ready and waiting when Geof asks me what I want. Easy for him and easy for me. I usually keep track of things I like either on Pinterest or on Amazon.

If money were no object I’d love to have this


Apple iPad 2

Or this...


Canon EOS Rebel T3i

Since these are extravagant items, I’ll bring it back down to reality with some things I’d love to have that are a little more realistic.


Tarte Limited Edition LipSurgence Collection


Marley Lilly Monogrammed Pashmina in Leopard


Michael Kors Watch MK5263


Witches of East End


Case Mate iPhone 4 Bling Case


OPI Rainbow Connection from The Muppets Collection

What's on your list?

There’s an app for that

I finally have an iPhone! I parted ways with my beloved Blackberry Curve the other week and have made the switch to AT&T to get the iPhone 4 (thanks to an early Xmas present from my mom). Now that I have it, I honestly don’t know how I lived without one. The speed, ease of use and technology amaze me. I’m also quite sure I haven’t even tapped into all that it has to offer.



What are some your must have apps? I want to be part of the cool crowd too.

Love my Curve

I got the Pink Blackberry Curve 8380 back in September and I absolutely love it. This is my first Smartphone and it is wonderful. I can go on the internet, check email and text with ease (I kind of sound like a commercial…sorry). The phone takes decent pictures and video as well. I usually have my Bluetooth hooked up to it when I’m talking, but the sound is always loud and clear.

I just thought I would pass it along in case anyone is looking for a good phone.

We got a Wii!

Finally! Best Buy had a private shopping event last night and we were pretty much guaranteed to get one. Geof has wanted one for awhile and I never really knew anything about it. The boys hooked it up last night and we’re ready to roll. I love it and I am excited to start playing. I messed around with the one in the store and it was super fun. We also got the Wii Fit and I am anxious to try that too.
