Weird moment

I had a weird moment yesterday. I opened a new 12-pk of diet Dr Pepper. The new cans are designed to look like a football. They have this dot pattern on them, and laces painted on the can. Freaked me out the first time I saw it.

I guess it's time for football.

Go SOONERS!


In other news, I got a new phone. Went to the AT&T store and got a 3G iPhone. It's pretty sweet. Yes, I'm a gadget queen. Can't help myself. I already have 2 iPods (both nanos, believe it or not). One is a 1st gen and the second one is a 3rd gen. However, when the iPhone came out, I was all excited. Part of that is due to the larger screen (plays widescreen stuff). I also wanted the GPS capability. Our current car GPS unit got fried last year, and I'm quite sad about it. And the phone has a feature that I wished my iPods had - a 'sleep' timer. I can play music and it will shut off after a certain set time, which will save battery life. Makes me very happy. Makes my husband laugh at me. Oh well. :D

I was cleaning the kitchen the other day and came across a pile of Christmas cards that were stacked underneath some stuff. Yes, we're slobs. :)

However, one of them made me cry a bit. It was a Christmas card from my grandmother, to my son. It made me sad to see it, but very glad that I was a slob and still had it. I placed it into the bible that I brought home from her house. It was her study bible, and she wore the cover off of it. Still, it was hers and had things from her in it, that she kept, or that she thought was important. One of them was the lyrics to a song that we used to sing at her house. I wrote those words when I was younger than my son is now. My grandma loved me. You could never doubt it. It sneaks up on you from time to time. This weekend, when clearing out contacts (and editing some), I came across the contact for her. I felt sad deleting it from my phone. I'm sure it will get better over time. It's been almost 2 months now. Moving away from home helped take away that pain, to some extent, since I didn't see her all that frequently. Still, I wonder if I should write down my memories of her, things to read and remember.

I have a goofy cat. He likes to lay in my arms, but only when I'm typing on my keyboard. He circles the keyboard, getting between it and the monitor, and eventually decides to lay down, on my arms. Then, he purrs, like it's the most wonderful thing in the world. He eventually looks annoyed, because my typing is jarring his perfect laying down opportunity. Silly kitty.
