Christmas Tree Madness

This is what our Christmas tree looked like for about two hours on Sunday.  Granted, our prelit tree is 8 years old.  However, half of the tree was out when we put it up.  Of course, Bill didn’t bother to plug it in until we were over half done getting it up and fixing the branches.  He’s lucky I didn’t recommend he start researching a hotel las vegas.  Instead, I stayed quite calm and just finished the tree.  Since only one side of the tree was out, we were able to cheat and just turn that side to the wall.  We also broke two ornmanents (thanks kids!) before we even had the garland on the tree.  Good times, good times.

Here are a few more pics of us/the tree/the kids having some fun:

Samsung Instinct

Anyone who follows me on twitter knows I get a new cell phone last week.  First, I twitter that I missed the UPS truck on Thursday.  They wouldn’t come back and deliver, so I was disappointed.  Then the phone came on Friday, and I couldn’t figure out how to get the back off to put the battery in.  Then, due to some glitch in their system, I couldn’t activate my phone for 24 hours.  After all that, I was so ready not to like my new phone.

Instead, I really love it.  I have learned how to text message now (yes, I never knew how before).  I can check my email, surf the web, and even listen to the radio with my phone. I can even watch Live TV! It also takes pictures and videos. Granted, I haven’t learned how to use all these features yet. However, I plan on learning! This is one cool phone. I haven’t need a cell signal booster yet either. My favorite was that when we went to Navy pier on Sunday, it gave us voice directions. It told us what streets to turn on, and I was even able to see the traffic report! I could see on each expressway how fast everyone was going. I thought that was pretty cool. I will probably end up writing a review for the Instinct over at Lisa Reviews after I’ve had it longer than a week, but I have to admit, this is one cool phone.

Its Snowing!

Can you believe it?  It actually snowed here in Chicago yesterday.  I had to actually put the kids in their winter coats. It’s only October, how crazy is that!  Granted, it lasted all of 15 minutes.  However, it made for a very slippery trip to the chiropractor.  To make things even more crazy, we are suppose to have a high of 68 on Thursday.  Then you wonder why all of us in the Midwest get sick in fall.  Could it be our crazy weather?
