New Special of the week~ plus other random tids and bits.

First I have tell y'all about a comment I received yesterday.    I seriously love you people.  I'm constantly surprised by the fact that you get me...and yet you keep coming back anyway.

"Whew, I thought a band of gypsies had kidnapped you. Of course, you probably would have loved that, wouldn't ya?"  ~ Ellen

I had never really considered it, but I gotta tell ya that is now going straight to the top of my Christmas wishlist.  Half because I want to be kidnapped by a band of gypsies and half BECAUSE I WANT TO BE KIDNAPPED BY A BAND OF GYPSIES.

My cell phone died a couple of weeks ago.  And by died I mean I probably hit it with a hammer, because that is what 1 dead battery dropped call too many will do to a person who is on what she thinks is her death bed.   

It was time to upgrade anyway, mostly because I spend an equal amount of time away from my computer as I do on it these days.  What I didn't realize is that the procurement of a Smartphone would 1) make me feel like a complete dumbass and 2) intrude on interaction with people who are in the same room...nay, sitting on the same couch.

Thanksgiving day I found myself surrounded by family while biting my tongue to stop a barrage of profanity over those stupid stupid Angry Birds.  I decided to take a break from playing before my head exploded and when I looked around the room I realized every other person over the age of having been born was also typing away on his/her Android/Iphone.  I wanted desperately to record a video of such excellent quality time with loved ones, but if you'll see #1 above you will understand why instead of watching said video you are reading about it.

This is an excerpt from an actual conversation I had over the weekend:

B:  I didn't realize what I didn't realize.

Me.  I realize that.

(Try not to be jealous of the brilliance.)
