New toys!
Jen’s phone died, so we went phone shopping for her… but we wound up buying a new phone for me instead. I gave her my not-so-old Motorola v360 along with my old bluetooth headset and bought a new Blackberry Pearl for myself with a Plantronics Voyager 510 headset.
I’ve been resisting getting a blackberry for a long time, but the new ones are really slick. It’s small, fast and has an easy UI. The apps on it are amazing. The Google Maps application alone makes it all worthwhile, but I’ve also installed Opera Mini, Google Talk, GMail. The new headset is awesome. My old headset was never loud enough for me, but this new headset has great audio quality. New toys rock!
Obligatory kid story. When I brush the kids teeth, I usually chat with them to keep their attention from wandering off. And in general, I like to ask them open-ended questions because I’ve found that this leads to the most interesting answsers. So last night while brushing their teeth:
Cole:
- Me: “If you could change one thing about your life, what would you change?”
- Cole: “I would be a big person and everybody else would be little”
- Me: “Why?”
- Cole: “Because then I could teach everybody!”
Ally:
- Me: “If you could change one thing about your life, what would you change?”
- Ally: “I would have another pink teddy bear because I lost my other one!”
