A Little of This and a Little of That.

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is, if it's a week day I head straight for the shower; if it's the weekend I usually head for the coffee pot.  I'm not a morning person - I need time to wake up slowly and acclimate to the world before interacting with people is smooth.

I can hardly wait for Phil to be TOTALLY finished with all things school - to have a job and we have two incomes and no more school.


The quickest way to my heart is an unexpected kindness anything from the smallest gesture to a big thought out plan  because my top love languages are acts of kindness and quality time.


A little known fact about me is that I played the violin for four years, from 4th grade through 7th grade. When I think about that it makes me laugh because I have some of the slowest motor skills ever - how would I have ever gotten my fingers to move quickly enough.


The best part about my job is the flexibility.  I have the ability to dream up something and then learn how to do it...which rocks!  Yes it's stressful too but I am so thankful I'm not stuck confined to one task or set of responsibilities.  So for example, I have learned to setup and manage Wordpress websites, video editing, some HTML... the list goes on.


Something I just *couldn't* live without is (disclaimer... I added the asterisks because we all know we could go without most everything) my iPhone (smart phone)... now that I have grown accustom to having the luxury of it I use it all the time.  Directions, Google, weather, things around me, check depositing... I use it all the time as a function of my daily life.
Some of my favorite apps for the iPhone that I think EVERYONE should have:

AROUND ME

WHITE NOISE

BANKING

I have Chase cause that's who we bank with but other banks have them too.  I can deposit check from anywhere which is awesome.  I almost never actually have to go to the bank now.

CODE READER

This app rocks - so if you are at the store trying to decide if something is a good deal... just scan the barcode and it will bring up that item all over the web and you can compare prices... right there!!!

YELP of course, but I really only use it when I travel but I love to have it then.

American Airlines when I fly is a must have.

FLASHLIGHT

UNITS

DROPBOX!!! If you use it.

and of course

HOLY BIBLE

Lots of different translations you can easily switch back and forth from and much more.

Something useful that I wish I knew how to do is crochet.  I just love all the cute stuff you can make. I could probably learn I just haven't made the time. or play the piano.  I just wish I could sit down and play something beautiful - it seems like a very relaxing talent/skill.

This is why I want to crochet cause this stuff is FREAK OUT adorable!!!
