I did in fact get my new iPhone. I guess I left the blog kinda hanging on that…

Let me just say, What a debacle! Getting a new phone should not be so hard! Seriously. That said I am so glad I went thru it. I like being one of the idiots out there “first”. LOL. So after my 3 hour wait the SECOND day I was finally next. I was so sure my activation would be fast. I knew which phone I wanted (8G, I have a brand new iPod Classic that is huge so no need for 16G), I knew I qualified for the upgrade, should be smooth. After another 20 minutes (I know, right?) a “specialist” approached me. We got to work. He fetched the phone, took my info, and entered it into the activation handheld thing. We waited. The result came back fast: “Error. Account does not qualify”

WHAT!?!

Okay. Wow. Phew! Boy have I been a busy bee! In case you haven’t noticed, I did a little redecorating around here. Can you see a difference? CLICK HERE. Okay, okay. It’s not new actually. But we haven’t seen this look in a long time. Plus it took me 5 hours to drag it into the present with us okay? Sooo, what do you think? Is it okay for now? Are we feeling the retro style popup comments? Shall I leave a ‘skinner’ so you can pick and choose?

Inquiring minds wanna know..

(Maybe someday I’ll get a new design… I just don’t have the skills and don’t know where to turn. I know a designer, but something about mixing business and pleasure seems awkward about that. Or I am paranoid. I wish Julie was still in business.)

I don’t think this is new… but I just found it and I am hooked. Hooked!

How come no one told me there was to be new Apple-y goodness today? Hmm? You all know how I love Apple and how I was at work or asleep for the past 7 days! Ah well, I cannot stay mad at you, internets. Besides, the folks in the Twitter chat room have brought me up to speed…

Besides, look at all the cool new stuff! , iLife (oooh iPhoto is all fancy!), and the new iMac!! I am absolutely drooling here. Drooling! I have to get to the Apple Store. Something inside of me is going to break if I don’t. First the iPhone came along to torture me. I want one. I do not need one. Especially the first version. But it hurts me. Now this.. A new iMac! Mine is not even quite a year old! This is torture… But they aren’t all that different, other that the thinness and added technololgy, right? No big shake up there… iWork is really nice, but I don’t like to work at home. LOL, seriously though I have only used that for my party invites lately. I make great invites with it, but I don’t need an upgrade to it.

I will get the new iLife though. That is one I DO use pretty regularly. Between iPhoto and Garageband it’ll be worth it for me to make the leap. I think I want more memory too. I was planning to get another gig when the new OS X comes out, but better to get it earlier. Hrm. Probably not this month though for any of it. Sigh.

See? I am tortured.
