Day 31... This Is It!

I am confused by all the people that were not aware of the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson at the Grammys.  It was all over the radio and the glasses were available at Target.  The DJ's on the radio show that I listen to in the mornings were complaining about how they didn't know it was going to be in 3-D... I heard about it on their radio station!  As you can see... we were ready... and it was SO cool.  I am truly amazed by technology... everyday I see something new that just boggles the mind.  I sat in my own living room, watching MY t.v. and it was in 3-D!  So cool.

Day 30... Zoe Loves Laundry!

On Saturday, as Lana and I were cleaning and washing clothes... we were met with this sight!  Zoe buried herself in the warm clothes that had just come out of the dryer.  I went to fold the clothes and found her there.  Who can look at this picture and not think she is the cutest dog ever!?

Day 29... They Call It Commuting Revisited

Since taking my new job, my commute has changed drastically.  See my earlier post on commuting.  Friday I got back into the swing of my highly irregular commute.  We have offices in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin.  I commuted to Houston via plane on Friday for work.  It is funny being an air commuter, I never thought that I would be, but it is definitely fun.  Friday's trip earned me my first reward flight from Southwest Airlines!  Now, I can fly free to any destination that Southwest services... nice perk!

Day 28... Mulberry Street

One of my favorite books when I was little was, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss.  Even today it is one of my all time favorite books.  Marco is encouraged by his dad to keep his eyes open to see what he can see on his way to school.  Marco wants to have a great story to tell his dad when he gets home from school so he dreams up these outlandish tales when all he really saw was a cart and horse.  Today was a Mulberry Street day for me.  I saw nothing that I wanted to take a picture of today!  I guess I could have come up with an outlandish tale... turning minnows into whales, but I won't.

Day 27... The CPAP Machine

So... if you have been following the blog, you know that I went for a sleep study a couple of weeks ago.  Well, turns out I wake up about every 30 seconds because of an apnea (stop breathing).  So, when I think that I have slept for 8 hours, I really have only slept about half of that time.  For the past couple of nights I have gotten to sleep with my own CPAP machine.  I have to put water in the machine (to create some humidity and not dry myself out) and then attach a tube that connects my mask to the machine.  There is a little air pillow on my mask that fits up on my nose and basically forces air through my nose and down my throat.  It keeps my throat open so that I don't snore and I don't stop breathing.  I am still getting used to the feeling of having something on my face all night and air blowing into my nose, but I am sleeping a lot more!  I am sleeping better than I have slept in years and I am not getting nearly as tired during the day!

Day 26... Things That Make Me Smile

Some things that made me smile today:

1.  Being out of the office and on the road again (even for just a short trip down to Ennis and back)

2.  Meds (always a good thing)

3.  Pasta from Market Street

4.  Michael Jackson's This Is It on Blu-Ray!

If you know me even just a little bit, you probably know how number 4 really made my day!  Michael Jackson was/is one of my favorite artists ever.  In my eyes, no one can top the man that was Michael Jackson.  He was legendary, absolutely one of the most talented people to ever walk this planet.  I went to see This Is It on opening night (call me a nerd all you want).  I can't wait to watch it again this weekend with Lana!

Day 25... There's an App for That!

They're not lying... there's an app for EVERYTHING!  After hearing about the guy in Haiti surviving in the rubble for days thanks to an iPhone app, I am truly amazed at just how much there is out there for the iPhone!  Since Lana got an iPhone this weekend, we have been playing with the App Store, non-stop.  As always, I only download free apps, unless I absolutely love it, then I might consider buying the full version.  Lana found this latest app... Lego turns any of your photos into Lego mosaics.  Kids will love it and adults that are easily amused (such as myself) will enjoy it too.

Day 24... A New Cover

So I got a new cover for my iPhone... do you like it!?  Haha... no Lana was so excited to get a new cover for her new iPhone, so I had to take a picture.  I think she said something about trying out for The Real Housewives of DFW...

Day 23... Welcome to The iPhone Cult Baby!

Lana finally joined the cult today!  We all welcomed her with open arms!  We went to the AT&T store this afternoon and purchased Lana her very first iPhone.  The Blackberry (that she LOVED) was finally coming to the end of its life with our family.  It did not go to where all good Blackberries go, because it didn't actually die.  We decided to put it up for adoption and we were so lucky to have a friend in need that gladly accepted our old friend!  You see, our friend that was in need... well, let's just say that Zach Morris finally got his cell phone back from her.  She stole it from him in 1995 and was not giving it back!  She was SO excited to get her new phone, and we were SO excited for her.  So, Lana, welcome to the iPhone world.  Jodie, welcome to 2010!  :)

Day 22... Top Down

January 22nd and the top of the convertible was down!  I love when the weather is nice enough to take the top down!  It was about 72 degrees here on Friday... crazy considering all the snow we had at the end of December and how cold it was at the beginning of January.  I LOVE cold weather, but after becoming the owner of a convertible... I LOVE the warm weather even more!
