Apples and Oranges

I know many of my peers and friends are lovers of any and all products of Apple: the mac, iMac, iPhone, iTunes, and now iTissues. ;-P

While I am not knocking those that are brand-loyal to Apple, I have not joined the lynch-mob, I mean bandwagon. I am kidding about the mob, but I do have plenty of friends that are trying to pressure me into all things Apple. Seriously, I get harassed continually for not getting an iPhone. I have not felt so much peer pressure since eighth grade.

I am told the iPhone will change my life. Really? Maybe I'm not ready for my life to change. I just moved to a new state and started a new job 6 months ago. Those are two huge deals. I may not be ready to rock the boat just yet with this new-fangled device you call "the iPhone".

One of my coworker/friends that has been trying to convince me brought me the Apple sticker last week and told me, "Here. You can put it on whatever you want." I think he wanted me to have the logo stare me in the face every day to further cement the idea in my brain that I, too, should get--no, NEED--the iPhone, or whatever.

In a calculated twist, I used that {skies part, rays of sunshine pour down} sticker on my box of kleenex. I then sent the photo you see here to all of my Apple-washed friends and told them about my new iTissues. I think one of them gave pause and might have believed it was true. She emailed back and asked, "So cool! Are they soft and techy?"

I bet if Apple did make some iTissues, many would buy...even if they were the cheapest, yuckiest tissues ever. Really. Although, I do realize that they would not be the cheapest, yuckiest ever. They'd be the best. Yes. The best. But maybe I'm just not ready to buy them.

And as I told someone on the forum earlier, they have about a 10 hour battery life. ;-)

I bet many of you loathe me now for not loving all things Apple, so here's the coup de gras: I don't even own an iPod!

LOL...

Lovin' my new...

Today is rainy and markedly cooler here in the DFW area. Such a change, in fact, that our a/c must still be set to "it's hotter than hoobithou outside, so crank 'er up!" because we're freezing in our cubicles today. We all pulled out our space heaters to keep our toes from getting frostbite. (Not sure if it would affect how my one toe looks. I broke it yesterday and it's purple...actually, it looks neat. hahaha)

Luckily I am able to warm up with a nice cup of hot chocolate (coworkers are opting for that devil called "coffee"). My hot chocolate tastes super yummy in my new mug...oh, wait. That's my same East Central University Alumni mug...

The change in temps here have also come a change in my sinus activities. I've been sneezing like crazy all morning. Good thing I have my iTissues. (See photo and wait for story to come in a day or so.)

So, some of you will find this hilarious...I think. hahaha. Many of you have seen me when trying to either bid on something on eBay or on Bargain World.

hahahaha. Enjoy.
This was especially true then trying to obtain Jared's Mitch Hedberg poster. hahaha
