Favorite Way to Make it RAIN

I bet you didn't know I could make it rain did you? I'll share my secret powers with you. :) First you have to have a car covered with pollen and oak seeds and leafs. Next you have to rinse off all the junk from your car with a hose. After that doesn't work and more stuff sticks to your car plus a little present from a blue bird (Why do I like spring again?) decide that you are going to pay the $8 at the gas station and get the super duper car wash. On a Saturday afternoon wait in line behind a few other cars at the gas station who had the same idea. Thankfully you have your iphone so download a new book to read. Oh don't forget to add one 9lb shih tzu who couldn't stand you leaving her again so decides to run out the door. She is so dang cute you decide to take her with you. Only when you and said shih tzu are in the car wash does it occur to you she will probably freak out. After you calm shih tzu down and car wash is over wait about 48 hours. Then the heavens will open and it will RAIN ALL DAY LONG! Notice that present from blue bird is still stuck to your window.

It NEVER fails to rain after I wash my car. It's my very own rain dance! So don't worry about the drought here in Florida. I'll just was my car every once in awhile and the reservoirs will be full in no time! :)

Favorite Time of Year

I love Springtime! It's sunny and warm and breezy right now. In another month or so it will be hot and unbearably humid! But right now the sky is blue. I am 2/3'rd done with the school year. 9 more weeks till summer vacation! 3 more weeks until spring break! The only thing I don't like about spring is the pollen in the air. My car has a thin layer of yellow dust! :) Standardized testing is over so I can just relax and teach. Life is pretty good right now :)

Favorite Phone

In the beginning of January I decided I wanted to get an Iphone. It was after Christmas and still about 3 weeks until my birthday. I'd actually been wanting one for awhile but I had to wait for my contract with Alltel to be over. I had the money so I bought it, just because I could :) Can I just tell you I love that thing! It is freaking AMAZING! I had an itouch so I knew that I could download some pretty sweet apps but now I have everything all in one package! I have a phone, an endless source of games, I can watch tv, I can watch movies, I can read books (I am currently reading Vanity Fair), I can listen to music and check my email, I can even post this blog entry from my phone if I want to! I can take pictures, I can check my facebook, I can put dates in a calendar, I can play 3 different versions of solitaire, I can access online articles and other things that save in Evernote (www.evernote.com, such a cool idea!), I can find out the name of a song just by holding up my iphone to the music, and this is just scratching the surface! Oh and just for some extra fun I have an app that has all the scriptures, ALL the manuals for sunday school and RS, plus the hymns, preach my gospel, true to the faith and a bunch of other church stuff, how cool is that?!? I am constantly amazed and impressed by the technology that is in that thing! The phone part works great too! And it has a speaker for talking or listening to the music (which I am using right now, I'm not the biggest fan of earphones). It's the best thing I've bought this year (and considering all the crap I've bought that is saying something!) What in the world will they think of next? :)
