I LOVE my iPhone 4!!!! :)

I got my iPhone 4 last week. I was a little bit reluctant to order one because of all the bad reviews about the antenna and reception. I had the 3G and have really been wanting the video recorder for awhile now.  I went to the AT&T store and they didn't have any iPhone 4's in stock but I got to play with one and loved it. After that, I decided to "bite the bullet" and order one from AT&T.  The website said it would probably take 10-14 days to even ship it but I ordered it on a Thursday afternoon and got it the next Tuesday...only 2 business days. I was impressed.  I immediately synched my phone and have absolutely loved my phone ever since.  I have actually had much better reception with this phone.  The thing I love the most is that it is SO MUCH FASTER!!! I have only had one dropped call since last Tuesday and that was today while going under a bridge on the freeway.  With my other iPhone, calls would be dropped almost every single time I was on the phone. It was horrible.  I also didn't get reception in my house on my bed.  Now I do!! YAY!! :)  I sold my 3G on Nextworth.com and got $96 for it.  They even pay for shipping. 

Tomorrow, we are having our new mattress delivered!! I am SO happy!! We ended up only having to pay $157 for our it.  It was a total God thing!!! We bought the mattress we have now almost 5 years ago when me moved from Louisiana.  We decided to get a king size bed so we needed a new mattress.  Well, I don't know exactly when our bed started sagging but I know that it really does. It interferes with my sleep.  Lamar sleeps right up next to me every night (the amount of space we take up is less than a twin) :) and I always sink towards him.  Anyway, we were on a search for a mattress a couple of months ago. We stopped at one furniture store and found a mattress that we LOVED but I thought we should keep looking and see if we could find anything cheaper.  I didn't really know where many mattress stores were so I looked on my iPhone and found a store close by to where we were.  We went in there and started lying on the beds.  When I told the man the kind of mattress we had, he asked where we bought it and I told him a store that had moved and I didn't remember the name.  He said, "Well, maybe you bought it from us" and looked on his computer and sure enough, we had purchased the mattress from the same store (they had moved so I had no idea).  He went on to tell us that we had a 10 year warranty on our mattress!!! He printed out a receipt for me and told me what web page to go to.  Now, sending in the info was not the easiest thing in the world but it was worth it. We had to take all our bedding off, including mattress pads, and take pictures with a golf ball and measure the inches that it was sinking, etc.  They would send someone out and do it for you but I just thought we might as well do it ourselves.  I ordered the pictures, answered all the questions, and mailed in our request. They said it would take 2-3 weeks but would be quicker if we sent in pictures.  When we hadn't heard from them in 3 weeks, Lamar called.  They returned the call a couple of days later and told us they would replace our mattress!! :) So, we ended up saving lots of money!! The funny thing is that when I was lying on all the mattresses, I picked the same mattress we have now...just an updated version.  I love our bed because it's super soft...it just sinks.  They called it the "banana effect".  :) We also have the most comfortable memory foam with padding on top of our mattress.  I got it at Target and LOVE it!! The only problem is we have a queen on our king bed.  We just stuck it in the middle of our bed hoping it would get rid of the sinking some. :) Now that we won't have a sinking bed, I want the king size memory foam.  They aren't selling them at Target anymore. :( I went to Wal-Mart and got the memory foam there and it was way too hard.  I ended up giving that to Macy...she loves it...and now plan on just keeping our queen size memory foam from Target on our king size bed. :) 

It's storming here now. I love it!! This summer has been so hot! I cannot wait until it gets cooler and I won't be drenched every time I come home from walking. :s Today, Macy and I met mom, Rosy, Jeralu, and most of her grand kids at the River Market and had lunch.  I was disappointed because Brown Sugar Bakery was closed and I was really looking forward to trying one of their cupcakes.  Oh well, the company was great. :) Mar's about to be home from work so I better boogie.  I gotta to the grocery store (dread), Wal-Mart, and the UPS store to mail my iPhone 3G.

More Later! :) WHOA...the weather is crazy...I think it's hailing.

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
