Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My childhood summers were mostly filled by picking fruit and making jam, playing in the front yard, and going to beach every Sunday and playing in the surf while my dad played volleyball. And a car trip every summer, that always involved a long, winding drive up the coast on PCH.

So my weekend excitement is the purchase of an iPhone!! 3GS. Silly salesman tried to talk me into the 4G, not understanding that I don't have an ish with "outdated" technology. I've been playing around with it and would love to hear about desirable apps.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

4 more boxes packed. I am up to 57 and rooms are starting to look really empty.

Burrell, I have that phone! Apps I love are mostly kid related, though I love playing Paper Toss and Katie is obsessed with Angry Birds. Another fave that Noah and Grace both crack up over? Talking Carl. We also have Brain Pop which is educational and fun (with quizzes!). Noah deleted Textropolis off my phone which makes me feel tragic because I was 61% finished with the whole damn thing. SO SAD and mad.

In other news, our Vitamix is here. I think for my birthday I should have you all come over and we'll have blended drinks of various stripes. We'll call it the Eat Like Grace party.

Also, Burrell, Today's Groupon half off cookies at Platine would be perfect as it is near you and I hear their cookies ROCK.

I'm snacking on steamed broccoli topped with shredded gruyère, and trying to decide what to make for dinner.

Are the cookies good, Kat? Good to know, I'll pick that one up.

Isaac is also very excited to hear that Angry Birds is fun. He wanted me to download it.

What I really want to find eventually is a good GPS app, but in the meantime I've downloaded FB and a few games.

Also, simultaneously scared and amused at idea of a Eat Like Grace party. It doesn't involve sardines, does it?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Well I did miss my flight to San Jose, but they were able to book me on a flight to Oakland, and there was a very nice man in the same boat who volunteered his son to drive me to my car.

They pay me in WOIMS

Nice, Perkins.

My couch is available if you end up needing it, though.

Thanks! I think I'm good though.
