With everything going on, it has just been impossible to concentrate on the next "assignments" of learn and play. First it was the Olympic games and now it's OSU football. My my, what next? The holiday weekend is coming up and we have some planning and preparation at hand. Then there are possible plans with a close friend to book a flight somewhere in December to celebrate our birthdays. Whew....I have a life.
Yes, I will get around to devoting time to discovering the tools that I am sure will be delightful to use in this social networking experiment.....after this life break.

Go Bucks
Whether or not you are a football fan, you just can't escape OSU's grip on our senses every fall. Frankly, I am not a super fan, but I love all the fan fare. Our Buckeyes give us something to rally around and you just can't go wrong with the color scheme; There is none classier than the scarlet and gray. So, why not get into the hoopla, http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=17300&KEY=&SPID=10408&SPSID=87743
and stay up with the action? Besides, it's a good excuse to eat those melt in your mouth peanut butter and chocolate buckeyes.

2008 OLYMPICS
I was literally in tears watching the rhythmic gymnastics. The Circe Du Soleil http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/cirquedusoleil/default.htm may offer a place for these beautiful performances and the truly incredible skills required to accomplish them. I wonder if any of these gymnasts will be a part of that venue in the future. I am amazed at the combination of ballet, gymnastics, and juggling that is the rhythmic gymnastics performance. The costumes are absolutely stunning, too.
On a personal note, I think I was so touched because these performances epitomize in a lovely way what women are or try to be; graceful creatures trying to stretch to meet all challenges and juggle the basics along with our dreams.

Hardest for me = #5 because there are sometimes barriers that stop me from moving on and instead of finding some other way, I quit all together
Easiest for me = #71/2 because I truly like to have a good time. That may be why dancing was so easy for me. The more steps you learn the funner it gets.

The Search for a Cell...
...Phone that is. I have been researching this because I am finished with my very first cell contract. Before this, I was the proud owner of a $9 per month land line account. The best price for my cell contract is about $35 per month for two years and my phone time is limited. I still believe that we are all being forced into having to pay a lot for a communication device that, though it allows a great deal of convenience and could even be an element in saving your very life, costs way too much compared to what I had before that served me well.
Now I am completely amazed at all of the features that this tiny communication device can offer...as well as the price.
At this point in time, AT&T is likely going to offer the brand new OMNIA. A very smart move on AT&T's part because the Omnia is the best competitor to the IPhone which is also handled by AT&T.
Blackberry is on the verge of releasing the Thunder and the Bold, and Nokia has a phone in the running but the model slips my mind at the moment. By the way, most of the time I am looking at two windows; one for the cell phone deal and one that is either www.engadget.com or www.cnet.com for ratings on the phones.
I really want to try a phone with e-mail and a few other nifty extras, but I really would like to avoid a two year contract. With this in mind, I am currently purusing www.celltrade.com and www.cellswapper.com to attempt taking over somebody else's contract and inheriting their cell phone in the deal for a few months as a trial run. I am hoping this will be a win/win for both the person needing to get out of their contract and for me to try something different.
