Monday Mishmash (work with me here, people...)

 Spy mode:  engaged

I upgraded my phone last week - moved up from an iPhone 4S to an iPhone 6, woohoo!  I finally have LTE coverage, and I'm amazed at how fast this thing is.  But the coolest feature on it?  The fingerprint security access.  Now, I didn't even have a security code on my old phone, and I really don't need it on this one...but I couldn't resist setting it up, and I have to admit, I feel like a spy every time I unlock my phone with my thumbprint. 

With the new phone came a new case.  I love the pretty watercolor flowers, and I thought I could do the mint green silicon liner, but after just a couple of days, I caved and bought another liner, in purple.  Why the mint green hate?  Well, because back in the olden days, this used to be called seafoam green.  And, back in the olden days, I painted our master bathroom that exact color.  Have you ever started painting a room and thought to yourself "wow, it looks different than what I expected" - and then, have you continued to paint the entire room because you thought "surely this will dry and look better" - and then, having finished painting the room, have you sat back and thought to yourself "oh, this was a big mistake..." - yep, that is why, to this day, I am not a fan of seafoam/mint green.  Amazing how some things just stick with you - this was back in our California house, and we haven't lived in CA in over 22 years!

Anyway, here's the fix:

 It's a small thing, but it made me much happier.

Remember that telecom magazine that I was featured in?  They sent me a link to the article so you can read it online, if you'd like - click here for it.  Nothing like extending my 15 seconds of internet fame!

Paco missed us when we went to Houston, even though he got to play with his favorite dog friend, Ginger, while we were gone.  We'd only been home a couple of hours when Jeff went to go read in bed.  I was still at my computer, writing my race recap, when he texted me this picture:

My junk was still on the bed, but he was blissfully asleep - I don't think he rests when we're gone.  He's on patrol the entire time...someone has to keep watch, dontcha know!

I play solitaire on my iPad.  A few months ago they started a Daily Challenge thing, and I finally made it onto the  "fewest moves" scoreboard.  I was so surprised that I took a screenshot of it:

That's me, Anonymous!

Happy Monday, everyone!
