Question of the Week: My iPhone

March 21, 2011

Welcome to the question of the week, where I put up a poll, hopefully on Monday, about any random thing, and you answer! Sound good? Okay, so today I need advice about a fairly trivial matter. I’ve been thinking about what to do about my iPhone, and I just can’t make a decision. I have a 3G which is over 2 years old that is running the new software and is therefore veeerrrrryyyyy slllloooooowwww. It is driving me crazy. I am due for an upgrade so I don’t have to pay that fee, and I don’t care about signing a new 2-year contract. However, we are trying really hard to save money. I’d love to upgrade to the iPhone 4,…

Ten On Tuesday: Names

March 8, 2011

This week’s questions, hosted by Chelsea as always, are especially apt for me since I’m in the process of trying to choose a name for my daughter. I couldn’t resist answering them! 1. How did your parents decide on your name? The way I remember it, they had a waitress at Bennigan’s named Kathleen and liked it. Fitting for an Irish restaurant. As for my middle name, Alexandra, it is after my grandfather who’s middle name is Alexander. 2. Do your initials (First, Middle, Last) spell out anything fun/funny? Nope! I used to be KACS (my mom’s maiden name was one of my middle names) and now I’m KAF. 3. Did you take your middle name from childhood or did…

Currently In March

March 7, 2011

I love March, because it means spring is approaching! Here we have been enjoying quite a nice false spring, and I hope it sticks around. Current Book(s): I’ve had Outlander by Diana Gabaldan for quite some time, and I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. After a slow start I am now really into it. I tried to put it aside the other day to start reading my book club book, Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall, but I couldn’t quite do it. As a compromise I’m bringing the book club book on the bus with me (which is where I do the bulk of my reading) and I read Outlander at night before bed….

Ten On Tuesday

March 1, 2011

Today I’m jumping in with these questions hosted by Chelsea: 1. What type of cell phone do you have and how would you rate it? I have an iPhone 3G. I am in love with the iPhone in general but mine is the older model with the new software so it is pretty slow. I’m eligible for an upgrade but that would still cost me $200 which I just can’t justify. So for now, I’ll consider it an exercise in patience-building. 2. What has been your most serious injury? I’ve never had a broken bone or needed stitches, but once in middle school my brothers and some friends and I were playing a hybrid game of tag and hide and…
