I loved this song!  I remember I still had the casette tape from my teens!

There was nothing say the day you left
I just filled a suitcase full of regrets
I hailed a taxi in the rain
Looking for some place to ease the pain

Pre-Chorus:
Then like an answered prayer
I turned around and found you there

Chorus:
You really where start (you really know where to start)
Fixing a broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools
Can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart?
Fixing a broken heart

I never could understand
What you're going to through
There must be a plan that led me to you
Coz' all the heart just disappears
Every moment you are near

Pre-Chorus:
Just like an answered prayer
You make the loneliness easy to bear

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Soon the rain will stop falling, baby
So let's forget the past
Coz here we are at last

Repeat Chorus

Hi all. First I want to let everyone know that I will be AWOL for about a week- so Dayna's Minerals will be closed during that time. I will be unable to do orders or reply to emails. The kids and I are going to visit family- about an 8 hour drive- before school starts back up--- Aug. 5 if you can believe!!! Orders I've already taken have been/will be shipped before I leave though. 
DH's last day of "old" job is today. He's dreading it because he's afraid of too much emotion. He's worked with some of these folks for 10 years and considers as a second family. I often kid him about all his "work wives" or "work family" because he'll say "Didn't I tell you that?" and I'll say "No, it must have been one of your other wives" LOL Tomorrow he actually starts his new job. Originally the first day was to be Monday but he has some important meetings over the weekend they need him at- so it was pushed up. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to visit both sides of our family since we wouldn't see much of DH anyway.
Yesterday "Bubba" came back and did get my washing machine working- although I still suspect that it's not right because I do not experience the shortened drying times that others rave about with this machine. My first load was DH's jeans (that are no longer available) and after 80 minutes in the dryer- they were still very damp and I had to dry a second time. I did use white vinegar as everyone suggested and am considering using this in my laundry routinely- we have extremely hard water around here and it seemed that the clothes came out fresher/cleaner using the vinegar. Thank you to all the great laundry tips!! I still have an appointment with another repairman- along with parts- that I decided to keep and see if the spinning issue is all in my head--- yes, I was being a little "punny" here. LOL I called MIL yesterday to discus our visit and she said that her washer has her drying time to about the same as a load of laundry- so I'm guessing that it may not be in my head. In-laws have dinner plans on Saturday night but that actually works to advantage- the kids and I are going to make plans with others in the family.
When I called the one SIL about this she said she was going to call me actually about something completely different- her boss was cleaning out her grandmother's house and found 10 boxes of Lablache Face Powder- in "Flesh." Each box contains like 3 cardboard containers of this face powder- still sealed and everything. She asked me about it since I am the "professional" in the makeup world. I did a little research on it- OK, I "goggled" it LOL- and only found vintage ads for it- nothing about the powder itself. I figured I'd send this out to the others here and maybe someone else would know/find something more about it. Anyone?
The car was repaired by Monday afternoon- so that's done. The washer is at least working and I can do laundry, even if it takes longer to dry that I think it should. Haircut was decent- I am trying to grow out but back was shaped up- "stacked" so it looks less Mrs. Brady shag and more updated. The only added drama is that several of the shirts we bought for DH Sat. have shrunk way too much. Rather frustrating since we asked sales person- he tried them on at the store and there was room for reasonable shrinkage but this one brand, they all shrunk to make him look like he's wearing something from his childhood. I hope they will take them back, even though washed--- it's not like we washed them without trying them on before. Other brands did not have this issue. It's about $100 or so of shirts that are unwearable due to shrinkage. So this afternoon I'll have to deal with that. DH is wondering if I'll have all these shirts done before I leave. He also asked me to show him how to do laundry- when he gets back on the weekend he plans to do jeans. Sad that I have to instruct him on this simple task huh? He actually has a masters in chemical engineering. ;-P
Here are my FOTD since last time... BTW I attempted my first lippie- not 100% on it but not too bad for first try. This one ended up being a rather glossy lip balm with a my lips but better tint of color. So when I get back that will be a focus after I get through all the emails and stuff I'll miss during the week.

IPhone 3G

On Friday, June 11th I woke up at 4:00am and drove to my local Apple store at the Mall of Louisiana.

I have a Crimson Red Palm Treo 680 right now and although I have only had it for about a year, I am bored with it.  I was never really interested in the iPhone but after playing with a friends iPhone I instantly became intrigued by it.  My friend advised me to get an old iPhone so that I could hack it and use it on T-Mobile's network (my current provider) but I am a tech junkie so I have to have the newest technology therefore I wanted the iPhone 3G.

I'm not a die hard Apple fan so there was no way that I was going to camp out just to get it.  I figured I would still get one if I arrived at around 4:30am.  When I got to the mall there was about 20 people waiting in the parking lot.  Apprently security was preventing them from waiting in line in front of the store.  At about 6am they allowed us to actually line up at the door.  The store opened at 8am and I was about number 40 in line (when the security guard let us through, people started running towards the door so people who had showed up after me, ended up getting in front of me.  It wasn't that serious so I didn't run!).  It was in line for about 15 minutes before getting into the store and after waiting another 10 minutes I was escorted by an Apple employee to someone that could assist me.  There was about 25 Apple employees helping customers so the line was moving pretty quick until...........the Apple and AT&T servers CRASHED!!!!!!!!!  

I had just finished paying for my phone when I was informed that I would not be able to activate it because the servers were down.  BULLSHIT!!!  I was not leaving that store without a functional phone so I stood at the computer and tried endlessly to sync it for activation.  Finally, after 30 minutes, it synced and I walked out the door with my new shiny phone.  I haven't had much time to really play with it but so far, I LOVE IT!!  It is an amazing phone.

What I love about it:

• The GPS system.  I can tap the GPS icon and it will locate where I am in seconds.  There is also a feature where you can locate restaurants, stores, etc. that are near your location.  It's like a portable phone book!  No more calling 411 and getting charged $1.50 per call!!

• E-mail Push Technology.  I have 3 yahoo e-mail accounts and I am able to check all 3 on my iPhone.  All I had to do was enter my account information and it automatically send all my e-mail to my phone.  My phone beeps when I get a new e-mail. 

• The Apps Store.  There are tons of programs that I can download for my iPhone.  Most are free but there are some that you have to pay for.  My favorite is the blogging apps (of course).....it makes it super easy to post a blog (or picture) to my vox or blogger.  There is also a MySpace app and Ebay App (LOVE IT!!).

• YouTube.  There is a direct link (icon) to YouTube so I am able to watch YouTube videos pretty much anywhere.  It's a little choppy if I'm not connected to a Wi-Fi network but I can still view them.

• Safari Web Browser.  I am able to browse the internet.

What I hate about it:

• The battery sucks.  If the phone is on 3g, the battery drains very fast.  Luckily I have a car charger, otherwise, my phone would die before the end of the day.  I have heard that you can switch the phone to EDGE and that saved battery life.  I guess i'll have to try that.

• The phone get's all greasy from putting it up to my face (my face is a little oily).  Guess that means it time to by a bluetooth heasdset.

• AT&T is super expensive.  I had to sacrafice a lot of anytime minutes to get this phone.  I had 1500 whenever minutes for $39.99 through T-Moblie now I have 450 whenever minutes, unlimited data, and 200 text messages for $74.99. *SIGH*.

Overall this is an awesome phone and I think I am going to have a lot of fun playing with it and finding out what it can really do.  Was it worth it?  Only time will tell.

Forgive me.  I am on a dance/pop song high now;)
