I am married to the most wonderful man!

(Please be reading this Stephen)

I can not believe what I put him through sometimes and while he rolls his eyes and tries to talk "his sense" into me, in the end, I get what I want. About a month ago we went to Verizon to get me a new phone. I chose the Droid Incredible (basically, its Verizons iPhone type device). It was on back-order and I have to wait 3 weeks for it to be sent to me...no problem.

I finally received it last Wednesday and Thursday, off to Verizon we go to get it all set up. We pull into the parking lot and there are signs all over the place for "It's Here...Droid X" What is a Droid x you are asking, right? Well its a bigger version of the Incredible! I'm getting old and my eyesight is going so I decide that I have to have the Droid X. The service tech says no problem but there is a $35 restocking fee to swap the phones. Hmmm...ok, I'll take it. The catch was that it will take 3 business days to receive the phone as they are out of stock. sigh...but ok.

In the meantime....I go online and start reading reviews of Droid X...guess what? Its TOO BIG for a lot of women mostly but men also. I knew it! When I first saw it, I thought it was BIG but I was thinking big was better. The biggest complaint was it is great if you want to watch videos on it but clunky for a phone. Well, I don't watch videos at all on my phone and I use it for internet, email, texting and phone. So, I decide that I want the Incredible after all! Oh sweet Jesus...Steve thought I lost my mind! He told me to keep thinking about it and today we went to Verizon, he measured the phones and yes Droid x is wider by about 1/4 in. and longer by a little more than that so yes, it is much bigger! Steve didn't think so but the salesman did! Yes! I am not crazy. He admitted that that was a complaint he is hearing.

At first he told me that I couldn't exchange it as I used up my one exchange...but in the end, he did it for me with his managers approval! Thank you! Yes, there is another catch here....I had to pay another $35 re-stocking fee but thankfully, now the incredible was $25 less than a month ago so it was only an additional $10 and I have to wait a week for it to be delivered! As Winnie the Poo would say "oh bother!"

Thank you dear husband for letting me have my way....once again! You are too good to me and I love you so very much!

On the Band front: Not much new here. Still struggling at certain times of the day to eat slowly so as not to PB or slime. We went to Chipotle Grill today for lunch (very good) but way to much food. I got a burrito bowl and Steve got a burrito. We could have easily shared one or the other. He ate his whole burrito but was crying about how stuffed he felt and I ate a few forkfuls of mine. On our way home I started to slime a little and actually, a little frothy slime came up in his soda cup but than I felt much better, him...not so much as he was still drinking it!

I had my hour this morning with Stacy at the gym and she was pleased to hear that my inner thighs are still burning since we last spent time together on Monday. She says she wants me to always be thinking about her when we are apart!

We are going out to dinner tonight with our friends and I will be certain to be very mindful of what and how much of it I put in my mouth. In addition, I will be silently saying the Pledge of Allegiance between bites as it seems to really help me!
