Camping with the scouts

Well the Brescias are on their first camping trip this weekend at "Scoutland" near Lake Lanier with literally hundreds of other Boy Scouts and their families.

We arrived last night around 6:00 pm and unloaded and pitched tents. The boys had a great time running around the campsite for hours playing cops and robbers in the dark with flashlights!

We roasted marshmallows, made s'mores and cooked Hpt Dogs on the bonfire. Yummy!

Lights out was around 9:30 or 10. I am not entirely sure which because we unplugged. It was great. Sleep however, was not readily available. Not much too be had by anyone... And we thought morning could not come fast enough. 7 am was loudly announced by talking and yelling, zippers, and clanging.

Breakfast began with cold Poptarts, and Nutrigrain Bars, but followed by "Toad in the hole", bacon, and Pancakes due to the generosity of others. Most importantly we got COFFEE.

Breakfast came and went, then it was time for the Flag ceremony, announcements, and Prayer. The boys ran and played, and now, we are in line for Archery. Not too shabby for our first camping experience. Eh?

Technology day

I was one of the suckers who went out and bought the new Verizon iPhone4.

You see I have wanted one for years but refused to switch from my beloved Verizon to AT&T. I became an Android user instead. I loved my Droid2 phone, a lot. But then in the last few years I have become a big fan of Apple. Ditching Windows has been a thing of beauty because with my Apple products... Well, they work! I don't have to sacrifice time for productivity and that is the way it should be.

I am a Tupperware Consultant and earned a free iPad last summer in a Sales/Recruiting contest! I LOVE it! I take it every where I go and use it for things like Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, Tupperware orders, games, notes, bible study, book and magazine reading, etc.

The irritation I was soon experiencing was that I was buying duplicate apps from the Apple App store and the Android Market, and my technology didn't always talk to each other.

Alas, then came a VERIZON iPhone. I contemplated waiting for a 4G version to come out. But I got email in my inbox that changed everything... An offer from an eBay store to buy back my two Droid phones for nearly the same price as the iPhone! You see I have 5 phones on my account. Two of which are eligible for upgrades now, so off I went.

Today I spent the day packaging up old phones to sell. I cleared memories, reset to factory settings, boxed 'em up and printed shipping labels. I pulled all of my accessories out, organized them and listed them on eBay the skeletons of my smartphone past.

HERE'S HOPING I BREAK EVEN!

superbowl sunday 2011

Well it is Superbowl Sunday 2011 and one of our favorite teams is playing... The Steelers! No parties for us... just hanging out at home, munching on our own snacks, comfy in PJs. Of course, personally all I care about is the commercials.

The boys are having some friends over to play this afternoon and that is all they care about!

Been to church, received an awesome message on leadership, and agreat lesson on the significance of the third commandment, respecting our Lord's name.

Groceries have been bought, hair cuts given, and bike maintainance supplies purchased. Time to rest! Happy Sunday.
