New phone?

10

My daughter is thinking of getting a new phone. Has anyone read any smart phone reviews? That is what she’s thinking of getting.

I’m happy with the phone I have right now so I’ll keep that one for awhile yet. My daughter likes all the bells and whistles that the new phones have with all their apps and such. Hubby and I have to keep costs down so we don’t have a plan with internet access (hubby wouldn’t know what to do with internet access anyway.. he’s not computer literate and always asks me to look stuff up on the web for him anyway).

My daughter has all the text and data plans with her phone. She likes to be able to access the web that way when she’s not near her computer.

The Economy diet

I am on a diet imposed by the economy. We can’t afford to buy much in the way of food so I’ve cut myself down to 2 meals a day with no in between snacking. I don’t need, nor can I afford, any appetite suppressants.

I was laid off in December 2008 and haven’t been able to find a job. Just recently I was informed by unemployment that I’m not eligible for the extended payments so I don’t have much in the way of money coming in. Unemployment said that I didn’t have 20 base weeks of employment in the base year of my original claim so I’m not getting the extended payments. I guess that’s because I was a temporary employee. I worked at the same place for 3 years but only worked from June or July to December. It was a seasonal place. I did work at least 20 weeks each year.

Hubby works but we have bills to pay.. such as rent, car payment, utility bills, etc and his paycheck just isn’t enough.

Can’t think of a title

We just got home from a trip to Texas to take our grandsons down to their mom. This trip I didn’t have a notebook computer to take with me. I really missed it and I missed my home computer. Hubby asked me how much laptops cost and I told him that I could get one for well under $1000. He told me that if I’m a good little girl that santa might bring me one this Christmas.

When we got home I looked on the Dell website and can get one for just under $800. If I check out other places I could probably get one even cheaper.

It will be nice to have a laptop for traveling or even for at home when I just don’t feel like sitting at my desk.
