lately.

i have been really feeling the anticipation of christmas building today- i am excited for family, and liquor, and cinnamon rolls, seeing my kids open their carefully selected gifts, and laughing, and stockings. this week is killer too, even though it is filled with late till 1am shifts at work; the bigs are at their dad's till the 26th so it is just me and stella trying to fill our day - in the end i really do just a lot of removing the toddler from standing on the counters. are you all ready for christmas?
on a tangent, i am feeling so torn! we have tmobile but i have a jail broken iphone, which runs on tmobile's slowest network and doesn't have all the capabilities/functionality that it would with say at&t. but, i love my phone. i am up for a upgrade and i could get the samsung galaxy which is rumored to be one of the best phones out there, but it just isn't an iphone. is it totally weird if i said that if android would hurry and get on the instagram bandwagon i would switch back in a heartbeat? i think at this point all of my other favorite itunes apps are available in an android version. we are stuck with tmobile for awhile till our contract runs out - if i upgrade that sticks us for two more years. we can cross our fingers hard that tmobile gets the rights to the iphone soon but everything we read says there is nothing for certain, basically that it would screw at&t if they did because of their amazing plans/rates. ugh, what is a girl to do? #firstworldproblems
so, rant over and i am way behind on my weekly iphone link up but i want to share our going-ons anyway:
