And that's (almost) all I need

I know this is going to sound either a) weird; b) crazy; c) um, TMI; or maybe even d) what the hell is wrong with you woman?! but here it is:  I want to get a magazine display rack and I want to put it in my bathroom.

The Internets just had a collective Gasp!  I heard it.  Then I’m sure you all shook your heads and re-read that sentence.  But it’s true.  All I want in my life is a little organization (well, that’s not all, but it’s a darn good start!)  I would like to use my bathroom and not have a stack of race car magazines fall on me (or behind me).  I’d like to reach for TP and not have to precariously place my elbow so as to avoid a heavy book to the face. 

I’m just sayin.  A magazine rack would be awesome in there!

iPhone 4 Review

http://www.apple.com/iphone/design/  
Disclaimer: This is my own purchase, Apple does not know I exist except for the monthly deposit I make to cover my love for iPhone.

Hi !! It's me Kym and I want to share with you the iPhone 4.  After 2 years or so I decided to upgrade my iPhone 3g to the iPhone 4.  Normally I am not big on upgrading, but this was so worth it.

The iPhone 3G was a great tool and at first use, I was addicted. I used it for everything, emails, talking, map directions, confirming airline tickets and surfing the net. I loved all the cool apps and I liked having a pretty nice little camera with me at all times. However, after 2 years or so I found my battery just didn't hold up. Also, I found that if the 3 was good, the 4 should be better!

The 4 rocks!  First thing you notice it's thinner, square and a bit lighter. The next is the camera. It's 360 degrees. Also the video aspect is really sweet. Another tidbit that I have found so valuable is the facetime calling. You can video talk with another iPhone 4 user. I am able to call my nephew on his Dad's phone and he can show me things from his day, and smile the whole time. It's priceless to see that face while listening to him relay his day!

The technical aspect...The speed is really fast, and I don't seem to drop calls in known drop spots. One of the preloaded apps is a compass. This works great when your gps goes nuts, you can at least find your way with the directional.

If you haven't upgraded yet, you should. It's really worth it!

Promise ring

Luckily for me, my oldest daughter just turned 20 and she has been “in love” with the same manboy for four years now.  They’re getting an apartment together in January.  This year he gave her a promise ring.  Little did I know that there was a place one could actually go to and acquire promise ring information.  I don’t know if her manboy went there, but I am sure that many people have and do.  A promise ring is not something to be taken lightly in my opinion, and both parties should be clear on what it means to both give and receive such information.  Hopefully my daughter and her manboy have had this discussion. 

Please Welcome Kym!

Kym will be posting as often as she so chooses here at Why are you Reviewing Me.  Per her Twitter account @kymdees1, Kym is "Such a South Jersey girl, with the attitude to match. Confidence is key, success doesn't just happen, you make your own!"  As she told me, Kym is a "40's kind of girl living in a 20's kind of world."  Amen and welcome aboard!
