So on another subject .....There is a quote I learned long ago that rings so true and that I was reminded of this week.
"Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
Oh, and this quote is in no way related to my daughter or my boyfriend, but I'm remaining mum on who reminded me of this.
So today, I'm making (at my sweetie's request) Chocolate Toffee Crunch Brownies. This will go nicely with my low carb lifestyle....NOT.

This morning Hayley had flowers, a heart box of chocolates, cup cakes, more candy, and four fashion magazines. I told her that her boyfriend really stepped it up for Valentine's Day. She told me that apparently he can follow instructions because she told him everything she wanted. Smart girl.
So I got a new cell phone as my V day gift from my boyfriend. I didn't think I needed a new one, but I guess he thought I did. It was acting up a few weeks ago, but that was before I deleted the 2-year old call log, the 5000+ text messages, and 300+ photos. Oopsie.
I went to talk with the sales lady to see what she thought. I'm sure a sales person wouldn't want to sell me a new phone....right? I thought my phone was great. It even had a pull out keyboard which is important since I can't seem to type on touch phones.
Well she started laughing at my old phone, which by the way, was top of the line 2 years ago. I had the extended battery on it so it was as heavy as a brick. I broke the plastic on the back of it so the back kept falling off, and there was a small bad spot on the screen. She was very helpful and told me one of the least expensive phones was the best. WTH? Love her even though I wasn't paying for it.
She said it had the best processor and software, decent battery life (there is no such thing as good battery life on smartphones apparently) and the voice to text feature. I love it. The battery stays charged and it is so much faster to pull up my apps and the Internet. Plus, I got a nice turquoise blingy case for it. Now the voice to text feature....well it isn't perfect, but it works enough that I think my friends and family can at least get the gist of what I'm trying to say. I've alerted them all to the fact that all texts are voice translated, so not to take offense if crazy things show up.
Oh and because I'm on Dave Ramsey's plan, I bought my V Day cards for .50 each at Dollar Tree. Oh, and Dave Ramey's class did tell me to sell my car this week, but I'm not going to do it. Sorry Dave. I live in Texas. I need a fast and reliable car for the tollway, but I will add it to my debt snowball and pay if off early.
Going to be a lovely day in Texas today. Great....while I sit inside working.
