Thanks for pointing this out. Looks way too cool!

[raduse]

Congrats to our winners this week too!! Jody, it sure was fun yakking with you late last night.

[deborahmegan]

Hi Jody!! I got my boosters and red tape AND bandaid lookin' cards today! I can use one of those for this challenge---right!?!? Thank you so much, I needed some good boosters. Jen used them at the shoebox swap and I *knew* they had to be yours.

[deborahmegan]

Hi girls!! I hope some of y'all are around tomorrow! It's my weekend. Yayyyyy. I'll be stamping, I've got a pedi scheduled with a couple of girl friends and probably cleaning the house.

[deborahmegan]

Also, Jody, about that $30 extra. Do you get unlimited internet or do the minutes your on the net count against your phone minutes?

Oh yay! Yep, that sure is a gatefold card! LOL I need to do the same! heehee

Yep, Jen gets her boosters from me. She saw me using them once and the rest is history. LOL

The $30 is for the data plan. It is for unlimited use of the internet basically. Text messages are extra. The internet use doesn't count against your minutes. They don't even give you an option of not having a data plan with the iPhone though... so the $30 plan is required on top of whatever plan you get. I think we have 700 minutes to share between the 3 of us (me hubby and son). That is more than enough for us and we always have rollover minutes. I think in 3 or 4 months we have accumulated over 1000 rollover minutes. I LOVE having that in case we go over.

If/when you get it, there is a game you should download (app that is only .99 cents or so) and we can play. It's like Boggle. It's called Scramble.

[texasjodylynn]

Megan, one more thing. The discount you get for your employer is actually only on the main plan... so our base plan is like $70 0r $80, so we get a 6% discount on that and then the data plans for $30 plus our texting plan is full rpiced. Make sense?

Interesting. I didn't know my discount wouldn't apply to the $30, but actually, now that I think about it, that does make sense. It said something about percentage off monthly something or other.

Is that .99 game the one you keep playing on facebook?

No, although I did start that on FB. LOL

Remind me to get that game. I'm leaning toward the new phone, so it'll be a while before it gets here. We're discussing the preorder this evening. I'm so excited. I'm ready to get rid of the old one. I usually keep my phones for 2+ years, but this last round, when I changed, it was for the worse. I have the LG shine and it's just not working out. I think faster than it does and that doesn't work for me. Also, earlier this week, it ERASED ALL my numbers. Not okay. Not at all.

I was reading that you can pre-order and it will be delivered on June 19th. LOL You'd think I get commission for iPhone huh? LMAO

Sorry about your numbers... that is SO wrong! LOL

SHAME on you for warning her! LMAO

Scramble is fun! Srabble is too, but the platform is weird for the game... PLUS Kim never finished the game we started. LOL Oh Kimmmmmm, it's YOUR TURN!

[Stampin'NPA]

Hi Erin! Are you feeling better? Where is hubby and the kids?

[texasjodylynn]

BTW, Turning Pages girls... we all have discussion questions to answer and only a couple of us have done it. Where are you and where is your discussion? LOL I am feeling like a thread killer.

[Stampin'NPA]

Jeez, I guess I killed that conversation! Well, congratulations to Lisa and Jamie! And I love all the samples that I have seen so far! I'll probably participate this week! I'll have to see what I can come up with!

My incision is leaking water. I called the dr.'s office Tuesday and the nurse said to put a bandaid on it. Um yeah, I feel like a leaky faucet. I have had to put maxi pads over my incision because that's the only thing that will absorb! The nurse that works there gets on my nerves because that's the stopping point. I can't ever get to talk to my nurse practitioner who I normally see.

Uh oh. So am I.

What if I beat her??? Which will happen...

WHY not?? It's so good!!

[Stampin'NPA]

Are you kidding me? I started reading it, and I realized that I hate reading stuff like this. I just can't do it. Call me a sissy, but that's why I pretty much read romance novels! I can't read real life stories that are so incredibly sad and depressing. I guess the book "Escape" is a great book too. But, I can't read that one either. I'm picky about my books like I am w/ food!

[Stampin'NPA]

Where did everyone go? Did I gross you out? I'll rewrite my post!
