Sweeter yet....

1) I'm typing on my new MacBook as I speak!!!! I already got most of the software I needed installed and my music moved over. Working on pictures and documents now.

2) My iphone which was out for repair (don't want to tell THAT story on my blog..if you really want to know and actually KNOW me email me...I'll send ya the story) is finally showing repaired and to be delivered to me TOMORROW! And I never got a call with a repair estimate so I assume that means they fixed it under warranty. YIPPEEEE!!!!!!

I will say though...kudos to apple on the AppleCare Service phones. My iPhone was out of commission 2 days before I got to the apple store to meet with a genius. And I was going crazy without it! Its insane how hooked I am after just 3 weeks with it! Anyway...for $29 you can "rent" a service phone to use while yours is out for repair. I know there is a ton of griping about the battery life and having to rent a phone while the battery gets replaced if you choose to do that.....but after 2 days without my iphone...I had NOOOO problem paying the $29 to rent one while mine was in for repair. OUTSTANDING!!!!

That's the one thing i was curious about - how long does the battery life last? ARe there extended batteries you can buy?

The battery gets me through the day....usually with a few hours of talking and LOTS of emailing, safari use, and some music listening. There has only been one day that I almost ran out of battery and that was when someone was playing with it non stop the entire way through a 3 hour dinner. That said, if I don't plug it in at night it won't get through much of the second day based on how I use it.

You cannot buy extended batteries. Its not a replaceable battery - thats what apples getting bad reviews on right now. The battery is mean to have 400 charge cycles (that means from all the way dead to all the way charged). After that its only supposed to charge to 80% max. The way I use my phone it would be a couple of years before that would happen. And 80% is still pretty good. But if someone wants a new battery, you send it to apple and the replace it for a fee...like $80 plus shipping I think. and if you cant live without your iphone for the few days it would take..you can rent one for $29. Thats what I did while mine was out for repair.

HSBC Sucks

Okay..Monday I call HSBC to find out how to do the wire transfer. I'm told there's an automated system and to allow 24-48 hours for the wire to go through. This morning, I call HSBC to do the wire transfer, told to use the automated system, I need the telephone access code. If I can't find that, my only option is to go directly to a branch. (and I have NO idea what this telephone access code is). Get home, FIND the access code. Call in, actually FIND the automated system, it tells me wire transfers are not permitted with internet banking accounts. Transfers me to the third dude. He apologizes for all the misinformation, says my ONLY option is to log onto my account and use "bankmail" ask them to overnight me a check which I'd have by Friday morning assuming they receive my mail and process it by tomorrow morning at 11am. I ask him how I know my bankmail will be received right away so that I can actually GET the check by Friday AM, and not get a "we'll...

Striped Socks with an Afterthought Heel

Though not on my original list for this year's knitting goals, I taught myself something new! You see, one of my friends has been obsessed with knitting striped socks. And the more pictures and things I see the more intrigued I get. I'm waiting on a couple of gorgeous orders from Twisted Limone . But I was getting impatient. I was on the Knit Picks site looking for new cables to replace a few coming apart in my interchangeable set and while browsing came across the Felici . At that super affordable price I ordered enough for 4 pairs of socks. :) I cast on for my first pair about, um, 10 minutes after the mailman delivering my package on Saturday June 25. I finished Saturday July 2. That MAY be a new record for me. Though the real record is I finished 1 sock in just over 24 hours! Anyway, here are the finished product. I did lots of reading online to get some inspiration on how to actually go about doing this. Yarn Harlot has a blog post on this, but I wasn't sure I ...
