Radioactive Me... a New Thought.. and Pictures

I have a lot of thoughts in this little head of mine - first off... I kinda have a love/hate going on with my blog.. I feel like I need to change things up a bit.. like the background, the fonts, colors, etc.... which is funny, that is how i feel about my house right now and we have lived here just over a year (I am going to drive poor Scott crazy), I also kinda hate that my blog is a "check in on us, we did something out of the ordinary/celebrated a holiday blog" - why can't it be a "I write cool things and don't worry about offending people or what their reactions are blog" because lets be honest, we all like to hear ourselves speak? to some degree. you're lying if you say no. So.... here is to changing things up - I mean that as in... (wow - that was awesome english) maybe there will be more random posts... sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, sometimes whenever i feel like it.. because, hey, its my blog - that's what I do. Don't get me wrong, I love blogs with pictures, but i find myself drawn to ones that are intriguing and in depth.. but pictures are always an added bonus... so if you are here for that, scroll to the bottom of the page :) so there, I have said my peace.

The pictures below are from my HTC Incredible. I dumped them all on my computer because I decided it was time for a new phone.. and of course, it back fired on me.. why would i fix something that is not broken? my Incredible was... well... Incredible... but none the less, I needed the latest and greatest (aren't I awful?) So I went into the Verizon store and upgraded myself to a HTC Rezound.. I made this choice after months of homework on which phone to choose, and from all the geeky websites and reviews and what not, it was the best decision (I can't go to the iPhone.. I just can't do it.. but that is another story in itself).

Now to get to the radioactive part.. I need to back up a little bit... I love my phones.. i basically can't function without one, I am hard on them, I use them well. but I either have a good dose of radioactivity in me or I just have plain bad luck.

When Scott and I were first married (2 years ago) We got ourselves some Palm Pre's on a sweet deal from Verizon, they were great... for a little bit anyway.. first mine broke.. the slider thingy busted, got it replaced, then Scott's did the same thing, got it replaced, then my software crashed, got it replaced, then Scott's stopped charging, we got it replaced (if you are keeping track, we are on phone 4..) then my software crashed again, they replaced it - again, and then crashed again... I personally went through FIVE phones.. (Scott, two) finally both Verizon and me.. mainly me said i need a new one.. so I went with the Droid Incredible... which was awesome... until one day the software crapped out... I need to say first off though, I don't have weird apps that crash things.. nothing out of the ordinary... I mean I work at a software company, I hear plenty about smart phones, software and the game risk... so they replaced my incredible, it was fine for about 5 months, then crapped out again..I finally got a brand new replacement and it worked like a charm and has ever since... until I decided to replace it with something new (what the crap was I thinking??) enter the Rezound.

My Rezound has crashed 3 times on me and I have only had it since the end of February. Verizon would fix it by doing a hard reset.. but then I had to reload my phone, which we all know is a royal pain! so, here I am on phone 3... and feel pretty lucky because I haven't lost contacts or pictures.. but that is my awful long story as to why I dumped all my pictures from my Incredible.. all so I could get a new phone, learn that I am probably radioactive (I mean, who kills that many phones? NO, I don't drop them..), and of course to expose ourselves to the unforgiving and very public internet.

These are in no particular order.. whatsoever
