Blast-o from el past-o

I just got off work.  It's a Friday night.  I'm not as spent as I usually am and am willing to put a little more time in behind the computer to get one last post out before the end of the week.

My poor poor Dave is in the office, switching back and forth from multiple calls, trying to fix some work messes.  He has been working non stop since his first call at 630 am and it's now 1039 pm.  Craziness.  So here I am, in my comfy chair with a glass of wine (what a treat!) and I'd like to share a little project that I've been working long and hard on for a few days now....What can it be?!  diy>!?  poetry?  spring planting?  nope, something much more fulfilling:  uploading the photos from my phone onto the tmobile site, sending them to flickr, and then copy and pasting them onto my hard drive!!! (in the meantime I think I racked up phone bill up pretty high sending all the pics to my tmobile account, but pics are priceless right?)  I've been on a pics kick lately.  Photo books, photo prints, and now phone pics.

Let me give you some background:  this lil Samsung has been with me for three years.  She and I are perfect for each other.  She rings and I answer.  That's all we really need from each other and it's just an added bonus that she also takes tiny, no flash, low res, 1.3 mega pixel pics.  When I went to India three years ago, she was brand new, and when I forgot to bring the battery for my real camera, Samsung camera phone came in very handy (people in India had not yet experienced the camera + phone phenomenon, they were still excited by camera + mp3 music player, so when I'd hold it up in the air and aim at something, I got a lot of crazy looks).  It was two weeks til we found a camera shop that had a Canon camera battery and so I snapped with my phone in the meantime.

Time has flown since then and she is still going strong, but I worry for the day that I accidentally drop her in the toilet (a known weakness of mine) or she gets run over by a car (don't leave your phone on the roof of your car while driving!) and then I would lose all kinds of precious picture memories.  So thanks to work being slow / me being lazy, I got them all uploaded and saved down.

Please, take this trip with me down phone India pictures memory lane:

Cheers to being fresh off the plane and in utter shock of your surroundings sister!
