Dear Karina,

Given your comment on this post, I feel that I need to dedicate a post just for you.

In 4 words: You just don’t understand. (Or is that considered to be 4 1/2 words?)

How can you NOT love the iphone? It is the epitome of uh-mazingness. I may eat my words later on, but for right now, there are just way too many great and wonderful things that are only accessible through an iphone. As you said, no, I’m not a joiner. I rarely give in to fads. But I have been extremely happy with my macbook and have never regretted that purchase (well, never regretted accepting that gift). I understand that macbooks are “trendy” but I love mine. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people like them. I’m not just trying to “be cool.” I just genuinely love my macbook and I’m pretty certain I will feel the same way about my new iphone. So there!

Much Love,
Natalia

the babysitter

It bothers me when people say that “dad is babysitting tonight.” It is his child too! It is just as much his obligation to care for the child as it is for the mom. Therefore, it is NOT babysitting. Babysitting is when the teenager down the street comes over to watch the kids. When dad home with the kids, that is called parenting.

cell phones

I’m not sure if any of you realize this, but I’m obsessed, yes, OBSESSED with iphones. I’ve been wanting one ever since they came out. And I AM going to get one SOON. But that is actually not what I had planned on writing about. What I was going to say was that I think it is funny how quickly things change. For example, I watching Devil Wears Prada right now (love that movie) and their “cool” cellphones happen to be sidekicks and razrs. RAZRs!!! Today it is all about Blackberries and iphones. No “cool” person today would be caught dead with a razr (well, of course, except me… though that is mainly due to the cellphone diasters of 2008 and 2009 which left me without my beloved no-name bar phone and my almost-as-good black cherry chocolate).

what a dollar looks like

Yep, that is right. $1! How did it happen? Well, the other day I had run into Albertson’s to grab some cup-o-noodle for lunch and when I checked out, the cashier was super, super sweet. She then told me that if I went online and filled out a survey about my shopping experience, I could get a $2 off coupon for my next purchase. Given that she was so incredibly nice, I decided she deserved to have at least one person take the survey to say that she did a good job. So I did just that :)

i love…

Coming home and being greeted by a clean room. It makes me feel relaxed. While staying with other people, I make it a point to make my bed every morning before I leave no matter how late I may be running. And I’ve loved reaping the benefits of coming home and having everything neat and tidy.

happiness is…

Spending the weekend with my hubby :)

i know you’re wondering

Lest anyone ask, bar results were released today. Good thing I didn’t end up getting a job in Utah. I “celebrated” my failure by paying $50 for a Nevada bar application.

P.S. Just because I’ve told you that I didn’t pass, doesn’t mean I actually want to talk about it. I’m just letting you know so you don’t ask.
