Snowbank

I couldn't find the windshield scraper this morning, so I did something I normally can't stand to do... I turned the defroster on high and waited for the windshield to clear.

It was excruciating. Why couldn't I just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet?

Instead, I realized that the windows were frosty too and tried rolling them all down to get the frost to scrape away. I fiddled with the radio, adjusted my Halloween costume, tried the wipers to see if that would help.

And finally, I took this picture. Maybe I finally captured a true moment of serenity! But to me it feels like being stuck in a snowbank.

Apps After the Snow

So, I'm still not sure what to do with the Siri feature. I get it and all... I've made a shopping list, and I've asked it to set the timer for me. But that's as far as my imagination has taken me.

Oh, well I asked her where Santa Claus was, but she was confused, because Santa wasn't in my Contacts. Hmph.

My husband (M), on the other hand, has asked her everything from "What is the answer to life?" ("42," it smartly responds.) to "What are you wearing?"

This question prompted my favorite response yet... "You have the wrong personal assistant."

I have to admit that I'm also *thrilled* to have a pretty fancy camera (by cellphone standards) and yes, even Instagram. I know it's widely overused, but I'm just getting in the game and still kind of in love with that Polaroid glow.

iPhone

So, I've officially joined the iPhone owners club! I resisted for so long, mainly because of the cost, and because I was determined to find a phone that did basically the same thing for cheaper. After trying 4 different phones, I caved. Especially since the 4S came out, the iPhone is clearly the best... And now I have no excuse to avoid blogging. Blogger App Go!

It's just so gosh-darn perty!
