Welcome to the fourth day of blogging which happens to be FIRST FRIDAY!
Am I saying that something special will happen on the First Friday of every month from now on? Nope. I don't think anything special is going to happen today! lol
I just thought that I'd make a reference to the fact that today is the very FIRST Friday of 2013. Did you get paid? (Did the extra taxes taken out of your check get you upset? That seems to be the talk of today's news cycle. Just wonderin'.)
I had something to say before I went off on my FIRST FRIDAY rant, but now it's gone. Hmph. I guess it wasn't that entertaining. I'm working on a blog in my head, but I think I'll save it for Saturday. End the week off with a big ol' though provoking blog. Well, I hope it's thought provoking. Either way, I'm still letting it marinate.
I guess I won't trouble you all with trivial stuff, but if I can be real with y'all, I'm am so happy that I was able to pick up a couple calendars from the UPS Store. This year was the first year that I didn't give out or receive a calendar for Christmas and I really needed one. It's something very unnatural about NOT having an up-to-date calendar in your home. Even though I have a smart phone and a planner, I STILL write down notes on my calendar. Speaking of planners, I need to remind myself to stop at Michael's and pick up a pocket planner. That awkward moment when you go to write something in your planner and it's from 2012 is a bit...awkward!
While I'm talking about smartphones, I may as well let you all know that January is a smartphone addict. Yes. She LOVES smartphones. I think it's wierdly disturbing how much this 2 year old loves smartphones. Android phones are here favorites, she doesn't have a problem with Iphones at all and even Blackberriers are no match for her. Are all toddlers like this? Her favorite app? ANGRY BIRDS! She loves 'em. Can't play the game worth a lick, but loves those BIRDS! Her mom lets her play on her phone more than I let her play on my phone. Why? Because there is something mystical and magical about my phone. If I let her play with my phone for even 30 seconds to a minute (maybe it's because I have Star Wars Angry Birds and Bad Piggies. We had a Daddy-Daughter moment playing Bad Piggies and she's been hooked ever since), she will have the worst crying session I've ever seen. It happens every time. She'll be sad and upset when she has to stop playing with her mom's phone, but she's devastated when I take my phone away. Stop calling me a mean ol' daddy. Let her play with YOUR phone and delete all of YOUR contacts. Yeah, she does that. She doesn't stay on the App that you give her. She likes to roam your phone, so if you have a KINDLE/AMAZON app on your phone and it's connected to your back account, please know that you'll be receiving a John Grishman novel in no time. Ask me how I know this? To quote Katt Williams, "I'll wait."
And the word is "fwome." Not phone, fone or cellphone, but "fwome." It doesn't even matter whose fwome...phone...it is. I've seen her gravitate to strangers and hover over their shoulders as the user surfs the net or plays a game. She has boundary issues when it comes to phone usage. Many of you are probably saying "Get January her own play phone," right? WRONG!! Unless the play phone is a real android smartphone with a touchscreen that moves and has force feedback but no calling features, then she won't play with it. AT. ALL. (Maybe I SHOULD give you an Iphone. The calling features on that phone never works!)
She's smart. You can give her a Fisher Price toy phone if you want to, but you'll be out a few dollars and your feelings will be hurt. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Speaking of fwome's....phones... I need to go check on mine. Whenever January is THIS quiet, that can only mean that she's playing BAD PIGGIES without me or deleting my contacts again.
