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.

Loving my Sun Times
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.
My Blogging Empire
Those are three words that I never thought I’d ever say. I remember back when I had one blog over at blogger and was complaining I couldn’t afford to move to my own blog. Let me tell you, moving my blog was the best thing I did. I have slowly been adding blogs, and I have even started to do a little branding. It is getting to the point that I am going to need some company logo shirts done! These blogs are all a work in progress, so let me know what you think.
My other blogs (besides this one):
Lisa Travels (formally My Road Less Traveled By)
Lisa Reviews
Lisa’s Contests (the brand new one!)
Happy reading!
