It's true. I have been anti-Apple for as long as it's been a thing (with the exception of my iPod shuffle...that got stolen, and my replacement iPod something...that doesn't hold a charge unless it's plugged into my car because Texas is hot and melts things). Entertaining myself in the car is the only reason I have ever navigated iTunes, and that's simply because it's the only way I've been able to put music onto my iPod.
So, when I upgraded my phone online yesterday and ultimately wound up with an iPhone, I was sort of disgusted with myself. I have an LG G2, and I really like it. I like that there are no buttons to accidentally press. I like that the front and back cameras don't suck. I like the size of it. I'm used to it. You know what I'm not used to? A freakin' iPhone.
I'm sure it will be fine. I'm sure I will love it. I'm sure it will be adorable and cute and yet another reason why my child hates my guts...because I have one and he doesn't. In fact, when I told him I'd upgraded yesterday, he didn't talk to me for TWO GLORIOUS HOURS. I call that a win.
The truth is, doing the whole "iPhone forever" thing that Sprint has does nothing to my bill. When I hit the two year mark with my LG this month, I was able lower my bill by about $20...and to switch to the iPhone will be about $24. So, there you go.
I will hate learning how to use it, and my kids will laugh at me, but we have very little else as far as entertainment goes. Lord knows the blood moon really failed to come through for us last night. Also, I agreed to look for an iPhone 5 for my kid (he's footing the bill), so I've redeemed myself as the coolest mom again...although I bet I'd be a lot cooler if I agreed to purchase it for him.
No dice, N...not happening.
This week will be pretty hectic, with a lot of school deadlines for me, and the end of the first six weeks for the boys. Can you believe it's been six weeks already?! And can you believe that it's almost October?! Oh, I can't wait...I really can't! I need fall weather and temperatures that max out in the 70s. Apparently, this also means I need to move. But I won't. Not for a few more years anyway.
If you know me at all, patience is not my virtue. It pretty much skipped me and went straight to someone else...perhaps not in my family at all. I have been exercising an insane amount of patience with someone I care about. Just because I don't mind talking to someone on the phone or via text on a daily basis doesn't mean they like to...or maybe they aren't available...or something. So when I talk to someone on Wednesday and then don't hear from them until Sunday, that's a long time. It's not...but patience, right? Not. My. Strong. Suit. And then on Sunday, we exchange hellos. And that's it.
To text or not to text...that is the question.
But since I'm an Android/Apple sellout, I'll probably try to over-correct on this one.
Sigh.
