Don't tell The Guy - well, he already knows! Maybe it is Mike's influence. Maybe it is that I'm just wanting a few things that the iPhone doesn't yet seem to have.
1. The weather app doesn't update instantly and give me the temperature at the current moment on the home screen.
2. The phone needs to have at least a 4.0'' screen, preferably 4.6'', but 3.6'' is just too small compared to other phones out now.
3. A new shape. I hate the shape of this iPhone. How can that be held in your hand? In Apple's defense not all smartphones out now meet the hand friendly shape.
4. A faster processor - the new Droid Razr has a 1.2GHZ processor in comparison to the 800MHZ in the iPhone. Most processors on phones are already ahead of Apple.
But...
I have to weigh a couple of factors...
1. Sexiness - which is sexier?
2. Ease of sync with my Mac
3. Continue being the Mac addict
4. Does it sync over the air/cloud?
5. iMessage = free texts = awesome!

Songs from the past week
He was everywhere this week!
A song I should have no business knowing, especially since Mike had never even heard of the artist. But who doesn't like the 60s?!
But I guess skipping ahead 7 years to 1972 is ok.

You mean to tell me?
I know its no secret so many foods contain bugs. Many breads contain human hair, etc. But my favorite Starbucks drink, really?! At least I'm pretty damn good at making them at a fraction of the calories and more of a strawberry taste...

Week of trainings
AWFUL WEEK OF TRAININGS FOR WORK. I guess the nice thing was I had good company and equally pessimistic people to amuse me.
Monday- Learned about the F word. Mike and his parents got back late Monday night and I made some pasta for us all.
Tuesday - Allergy shots. My dad had a mini health scare Tuesday night while I was at home. I'm really worried about my dad.
Wednesday - Boring day of trainings. Dropped my car off at repair shop down the street from the training. Mike texted me asking if I wanted to go to LA with his parents to see a TV taping- sure- sounded good. Mike and his parents picked me up from school so we could go... awww. it was cute. We got there just a tad too late, but enjoyed our time prior drinking some margaritas at El Torito. Went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory where we had a couple appetizers that weren't half bad and a cheesecake. We did have some more wine.
Thursday - Mike took me to my training since I had no car. He went to go get his braces put on. Got my car back that afternoon and met him and his parents at home. We went out to PS. We stopped in to see Mike's coworker, whom we ended up going to dinner with. We went to the Mexican place on the main drag where we had a couple margaritas and his dad socialized with all around, went to the street fest in Palm Springs and bought a few things, then went to Fishermans for beer and tacos, a restaurant/nightclub with an interesting crowd where we heard all about his dad's idol, his coworker's family, and talked work. There was also some dancing and lots of interesting people to look at. We ended the night by dropping his coworker off and going to the gay club WITH HIS PARENTS. His parents were so cool about it- they didn't say anything- I'd never been. There was an older crowd. His dad chatted up a group of guys and his mom, Mike, and myself just sat at the bar talking. We head back home after - its about 10:30ish.
Friday - More training. I'm done with the training early in the afternoon and I go home to visit with the family before going back to visit Mike and family. We watch TV and then head to the steakhouse we like for dinner. It was cold. We sat on the patio and his dad got cranky fast, and that sort of soured the night. Mike was so tired of his dad we dropped them at home while he said we were going to the store. The store was Chilis. We had a margarita and he bitched about his dad, I listened, offered my 2 cents, and told how my dad is a lot alike. We did go to the store since we said we were, and so we had to come home with something. We came home with stuff so we could make pancakes in the morning.
Saturday - Mike made pancakes after we were up and showered. We sat around a few hours, watched the Nascar race, and went to Sams with his mom. We got back home and cleaned his car so his parents had a clean car to go to a friend's house for dinner. They left about 5 and we took off too. We went to the Italian place at the mall where I found my new favorite drink - cinnamon whiskey with coke. Walked around the mall after, grocery store, and then home. We watched TV on the couch. He kept yelling and hitting me to wake up, yet I was mostly awake. He's the one who fell asleep about 5 minutes before his parents got home at 9:40 and I was talking to them. We went to bed about 10:30
Sunday - Up about 8, showered, and then I was a little tired as we sat on the couch. Mike did make food for breakfast and we watched more racing on TV. Went to PS again with his parents. Actually, we went to our favorite seafood place with his parents where his dad had a strong margarita with a lot of tequila. He was very happy and social, which allowed us to enjoy the calamari and walk through the mall. We went down the street to an Italian place that was super cheap, super busy, and super delicious. Sat at the bar and we each had 2 drinks to go with our meal. Chatted about lots of random stuff. We head toward the storm and back in the car toward home. We arrive, have some ice cream and cookies, then relax. We watch "Bridesmaids" with his parents. Pretty funny. We head to bed about 11.
Monday - Home about 8:30 since Mike had to go for a physical. I left as he did, everyone else was still in bed. Hanging out with my dad today. Joy.

Queen sound?
Heard the group, Fun, on NPR the other day talking about their sound, songs, and influences. The songs are really catchy, and some sound like Queen as noted in the interview...
What is interesting is that several artists I like as of late have been featured on NPR. My musical tastes are maturing maybe? lol

Travel bug
I want to go on a European cruise that stops in Rome/sets sail from there. I also want to go on one that stops in Barcelona.
I'm feeling a great need to go to Spain.
I want to go back to Puerto Vallarta.
I want to explore Barcelona in depth and do it at my own pace, though.
I want to go to Rome and explore the Vatican.
I want to visit DFW.
I've been watching airfares very closely...

Sunday night TV Ramblings
Desperate Housewives
- Sad it is ending. I really disliked tonight's episode. Mike was one of my favorites. The episode was bad in my opinion just because it was so different from the typical Desperate Housewives show. There were flashbacks to childhood, which while it tied the story together seemed completely out of place and gave the show a different feel. There were also too many stories going on and the first flashback when Mike was suddenly alive and in the room at rehab with Carlos and Gabrielle threw me for a loop.
GCB
I want to like that show. Kristen Chenowith is fun, and I had no clue the sexy David James Elliott is in it. We got to see his sexy chest on multiple occasions. Plausible? Not so much. That's hard for me to take. Cute? Sure... cute lines... I want to like it, though.
