Sunday Favorite: 58

According to my horoscope, my creativity is low today. So this is going to be just a quick update.

I'm the new owner of an iPhone. After doing a lot of online research and talking to friends about iPhone vs Android, I decided to go for an iPhone. I'm loving it. I had a little frustration initially when I wanted to transfer my contacts but all is good now. For me it is intuitive, perhaps because of my conversion to Mac. I realize that it's not usually a good thing to go with the first generation of a device (I'm on the Verizon network) but figured it wouldn't be that bad. And it isn't.

I had a long week last week....and so I decided to take a half day on Friday. I misjudged my time and had to rush to the train, which left at 12:45. I did make it and was thrilled! But imagine my disappointment when the train completely lost power before even making it out of the station. I ended up taking a later train which left at 2. I ended up home about an hour and a half later than I originally planned.

Today's picture was obtained from the Internet. It being a "favorite" should be obvious. Fur is good.

Hump Day

My day is going to be strangely hectic with near back-to-back meetings starting at 8:30 this morning and ending probably about 5 pm. The upside is I should be receiving my new cellphone today. More on that later.

Happy Hump Day

Saturday's Walk

Yesterday my mom and I participated in the Los Angeles Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation's "Let's Move Together" 5K walk to raise money and awareness. We walked with my company's team which unfortunately amounted to about 10 people. The walk was held for the third year in a row at Santa Monica Beach near the pier.

My mom (pictured) walked with me. Well, actually she did the 1 mile option and I did the 3 mile option (which did not feel like 3) that included 182 stairs. My mom suffers from Osteoarthritis and so walking is good for her although painful. She is the reason I do this walk every year.

After the walk and hot dogs provided by Wal*Mart, Mom and I went out to the sand and sat for about an hour, just talking and enjoying the view and each other's company. Although we don't see eye-to-eye on some things (like my sexual orientation) we get along well and I really enjoy spending time with her.

After I dropped Mom off and came home I did some laundry and the ironing and took several naps. Although I didn't get other stuff done it was a good day.
