Ever have one of those weeks? I started off the week getting sick. It hurt to breath but otherwise I felt fine (besides being a little worn out). Well, that is over. Now, I’m fully sick. Sore throat and a runny nose. Joy. At least I don’t feel as if a bunch of construction equipment has parked on my chest.

We also had some gutter covering company come out last night. Holy cow is that stuff expensive. Our quote was over $1800! I told Bill for $1800 he could keep climbing up on the ladder. We don’t have trees with leaves. However, we do have pine trees, so our issue is pine needles. There aren’t a whole lot of products on the market that keep those out of your gutters and do it well.

I’m also trying to get a ton of reviews up on Lisa Reviews before Christmas. I would much rather climb under a blanket (and I still just might). Lots of great giveaways coming over there too! (Hint: DS games for girls!).

I also have a ton of presents I need to get wrapped still for my kids, we still have to decorate the house, and we don’t have our tree up either! I’m seeing a super busy weekend in my future!

What are your weekend plans? Have you managed not to get sick yet?

If it seems like I am not here as much, the above picture is why. That is all products I still have to review over at Lisa Reviews. That isn’t even all of it. There is more on my front porch, my kitchen, and my bedroom. Needless to say, the hubby isn’t happy with me. LOL

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.

I blogged recently on Lisa Reviews about how much I can’t stand the Chicago Tribune.  Yes, my favorite paper since I moved down here has made me cancel my subscription.  I know, hard to believe.  I have been through many, many, many changes to the look of the paper.  However, this last one I cannot stand.  It drives me nuts to the point that I swear its giving me acne. I can’t find the sections that I like.  I swear there is less content.  Some of pages look like a blog page which would be fine if I was looking at a blog.  However, I read the newspaper for more content not less.  My husband has always wanted me to subscribe to the Chicago Sun Times, so I finally did.  Today, our first paper came, and I loved it!  Their articles had real content and weren’t just all pictures.  I could easily find what I was looking for.  I only have two complaints.  I am not sure how I am going to share the paper with Bill.  We tend to read it at the same time.  The other problem I see is that I get less coupons.  However, the Chicago Sun Times is a third of the cost of the Tribune, so at least I am saving money there.  If I remember, I’ll just ask my mom to keep her coupons, and I’ll go through them when we go up to Green Bay.
