Friday Night @ Lowe's

Test Video

Yesterday afternoon I upgraded my Blackberry Software. I didn't realize how much the upgrade added to the whole crackberry experience! Now I can take videos with my phone!!! And short videos can be sent to the blog with my phone. Like this one. This is a quick view of my very messy desk. I've been slowly cleaning out my office, but haven't been to enthused about it.

Back to the new software. What prompted the upgrade was that I finally discovered Pandora and have been using it at work and decided to try to access it from my phone. When I did that it said that my device needed the newest version of software and to upgrade to get it. So I did it yesterday at McDonalds. {Mcdonald's with wifi because I use my phone to connect to the internet and I couldn't do that to upgrade my phone.} The new software adds a video camera, a more enhanced Facebook, Pandora {internet radio for FREE}, a better music player that I haven't used yet..., Word to go, Slideshow to go, and probably more that I haven't found yet.

The One Hundred for an Ozark Girl, 6 to 10

I have meant to do more on this sooner, but obviously that hasn't happened. Here are 5 more items from The 100 for you to ponder...

6. Bangles - Nina says no fewer than 6 at a time. I don't even own 6; I'm now going to be on the look out for some nice silver toned ones like these.

7. Belts - The perfect example. Enough said. Sarah Jessica Parker nicknamed it "Roger" because she wore it so much in the movie. You can get Roger here for $120. I think I'll stick to my Target studded plether belt for $14.99 :) I've learned to like a belted shirt or sweater. Nina says a wide belt around the slimmest part of your waist creates an instant hourglass shape.

8. Bikini - Nina says the key to a bikini is confidence. It doesn't require a perfect body, just a perfect outlook. And I also think you should stick to solid neutral colors so that all your accessories, coverups, and beach bag will coordinate without a whole lot of effort. And like many other things, buy a good quality one that will last and you won't regret it. Fun Fact: The bikini got its name because it debuted during the same time that nuclear testing began on Bikini Atoll.
French designers dubbed their creation the bikini as they thought it would receive an explosive reaction.

9. Blackberry - I completely agree. I love my blackberry and think the iphones are the devil's spawn. Way too proprietary for me, but that is another post entirely. Blackberries are: a phone, a calendar, a phonebook, the internet, an MP3 player, a note pad, a to do list, a camera, some take videos (mine doesn't but i can watch videos), alarm clock, calculator, games, gps, voice recorder, and much more with downloaded applications. I also facebook and blog and twitter from my blackberry.

10. Black Opaque Tights - are essential for layers and fall dresses or slacks. In the book, Nina says Wolford makes the best. Here for $52. I've read that they will last you forever.

As Promised, More 6 Month Pictures

Blu's little friend

Dana sent this just now! OMG
"It was being 'chased' by our cows. Then it got caught up in the fence. It's ok now, looking for it's momma."

Facebook is the New Blog

Ok, so I need a little feedback here. I have started facebooking, and since then my New Years Resolution to blog everyday has gone down the toilet. Facebook has been accomplishing everything that I aimed to do with my blog and more. I like the way I can personalize my blog but I get more feedback and make more contact with people with facebook. I feel like I am being repetitive with my blog and facebook. The whole point of putting my life online is so I can keep my friend and family up to date in an efficient manner. So maybe I just won't blog as often, and will reserve it for the longer narratives. I hate to give up my blog comepletely because I feel like its "mine" and I have put a lot of time into it! Heck, ikve been blogging about my family since 2005!!!
Okay, so just leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you are in a similar situation.

One more good one

Now this looks like FUN!

Lexa and her cousin Braidyn were having a blast running through the mud. Such is the life of a carefree 2 year old...

Michelle's Fancy Kicks

Why is Michelle Obama wearing $500 sneakers? And to a Food Bank Charity Event? It's like a tiny slap in the face. Otherwise I think they are adorable but I would never never spend that much. I tell ya what I am going to do. I'm gonna put some grosgrain ribbon in my cons now.

While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crew cardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.
That's right: These sneakers - suede, with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink toe caps - are made by French design house Lanvin, one of fashion's hottest labels. Source.
