Hello! Now don’t get me wrong….I love my puppy Jake and we’ve been together for 8 years and I’ll never get bored of him or trade him in or upgrade him. He’s perfect just the way he is. But when it comes to technology and today’s electronical gadgets, well, I can’t help crave the next Ebook Reader or a new phone, or a new netbook. These are all neat tech stuff that I want and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next new gadget. And when it comes to me hanging on to a computer device for over a year, well, I must call it a “miracle milestone”. Today is my one year anniversary with my Nextel Blackberry Curve. We’ve had our moments and it’s true, this thing (that I’m typing this blog post on now) almost went sailing a few times in the past and, remember, the time back in December when I was giving it CPR on the RV floor because I needed it to work like a bad addictive drug. Yeah, when they call it “Crackberry”, they really mean CRACKberry. This is my very first Blackberry and I can’t imagine going back to a normal plain simple looking cellular phone. Ugh Today my Blackberry is working wonderful, but I’m telling ya, if they come out with a duel, or quad core in a blackberry, this thing is history. My blackberry has giving me all sorts of loving, including providing email on the go, website browsing anytime and anywhere, and application programs that make my life go as smooth as cruise control. The next device I’m looking at right now is the Verizon Mi-Fi 2200. Now this I need. This little credit card size Wi-Fi tower provides internet to up to five devices and can be use anywhere Verizon cell signal is available. It allows up to four hours of internet signal in battery life and service plans offer up to 5GB of internet browsing monthly. For those of you that want internet now, well, “now” is here.
So, enough babbling, let me tell you what I did today. I had a great day today and we did some cool stuff too. We took off and went to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City! It’s a neat strawberry themed county fair with live stock, games, rides, and big name concert headlines!! I paid $3.50 and got to make my own strawberry short cake! It was so good and everyone at the fair was super friendly! We stayed for about an hour or so….why not longer…it was 84 degrees out today! So we left there and had to cool off somewhere so we drove another 15 miles and cooled off chilling at the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa!! Yeah, it has been a while since we’ve been to a casino. I had a great time there, but wow, where did all these people come from. The place was packed!! Lines everywhere, people trying to get around each other, I was wondering if it was a holiday, but then I read in a local newspaper today that south west Florida was sitting at 13.4 percent unemployment rate and I found them all. Well, that was my day!! (And if you are doing the math for me – I lost $60 dollars today). Tonight for dinner we had a cookout here at the RV and now it’s sitcom hour and American Idol time! Have a great night and I just heard the weatherman on TV say that it’s going to down pour for the next two days straight. I’ll be back tomorrow!
