I am so late writing this edition of Dackel Princess, as I was out spending money wildly today. Hubby and I had to break down and buy new cell phones. His dates back to 2002 and mine is over 2 years old. I probably could have waited a while longer, but I just knew that if I did, my phone would die, and then we wouldn’t be able to by the phones cheaply. We got a pretty decent 2 for 1 deal. In any case, after that we did our grocery shopping, picked up Hubby’s new glasses and I bought some new make-up at the Clinique counter, and got a special prize for doing so. (More make-up! Yay for me!)
The phone purchase put us way behind our schedule so when we came home it was a mad rush to put away the food, cook dinner and feed the doggies! I did it with a little help from Hubby, who peeled the potatoes, and soon we were all eating our respective meals!
Then the tough part of my day began. I’ve never been able to understand why they must radically change cell phones so that each time you “get a new one” you essentially must learn a new language. Once I had finished the dishes, I sat down with my owners manual and started to study our new phone. A few new features that I like very much, but some are simply a waste of time. And my clock. Now this is something I am very upset about. I can’t have it showing all the time on my phone. I must flip it open in order to see what time it is. I stopped wearing a watch years ago because I keep my cell phone on my belt. Oh well, next time (2 years from now), I will know that I need the darn clock on the outside to work all the time! Darn!
I programmed my phone and then Hubby’s. It took me a couple of hours. How I wish I were a Geek who could type faster with my thumb! Oh well, since it’s only every two years that we do this I think I can stand it.
Anneliese and Arnie are both doing splendidly! They went in for their check-up and shots today and they are just perfect! They enjoyed their ride in the car and seeing everyone at the Vets. They are good little puppies even if I have to spend part of my day tomorrow sewing my braided rug back up after some fierce puppy play.
I can also report that we had a bit of a heat wave here today with our temperatures getting up to 16 degrees (F) before starting to fall again.
Ah, spring!
Your having a heat wave…a tropical heat wave…the temperatures rising, it isn’t surprising…
I bought an inexpensive phone because I don’t need a camera or internet or stuff like that and then couldn’t get the piece of crap to work properly and ended up buying a motorola with a camera but it does everything I need it to…flawlessly. It’s so irritating. Did they transfer your phone book over? They did with mine. What a relief.
Have fun. Stay warm.

Phones drive me crazy. I wish they would be cool and work for longer!! 😉
16 degrees, warm…wow you are more north than I imagined girl!
It’s sort of exciting to get a new cell phone though i bet…what a drag about the clock, oops…but soon yu will have gotten used to it I guess. I hope they have some new features which you will enjoy soon. do you have ringtones or anything like that? My cell phone is ready to be replaced and you gave me some things to think about when I go to get a new one. I went shopping this week…for books…they are listed in my (yikes sorry) long Tt list…but you can look quick I posted a couple of photos.
Just checking in…
Cheers,

My cell phone is at least 4 yo, I think. I don’t like the new ones that flip open, no, I love my Nokia! I am glad our 18yo lives at home since he can do all the programming for new gadgets at home!
testing comments! it’s windy!
