Holidays

Can the holidays be over yet?!  I love getting together with family, but it is also a very bittersweet time.  My husband has worked EVERY holiday lately.  While everyone else is off having fun, visiting family, and enjoying the holidays...we are working, just like any other normal day.  It's hard not to feel a little depressed and lonely....  I'm just ready for things to get back to normal.  I think I may ban myself from facebook tomorrow, and just work and then play games with my boys.  I don't want to read about everyone's new years eve fun/family get togethers....it just puts me in a bad mood and makes me resent my husbands job.  Seriously, I am so extremely proud of him and what he does.  I'm thankful for his steady, dependable job, and healthcare.  I just sometimes hate the hours/stress/worry. 

So, did you get anything for Christmas that you really loved?? 
I did! Yay!!!  My mother got me my very first ever "Coach" purse.  I still can't believe it!  I LOVE it.  Then my darling husband got me a cushy executive type office chair for my home office.  LOVE IT!!!  My mother in law got me a "weight vest" with adjustable weights.  It goes up to 30lbs! woohoo!  I also got sports earbuds, gift cards, perfume, fitness magazines, etc.  I was definitely spoiled.  :-D 

On another note:  Do you have a smart phone that you just LOVE and would recommend?  We are up for an upgrade at the end of January and are trying to decide what type of phone to get.  We both got Androids the last time.  It was Motorola Atrix phones.  Neither one lasted even a full year.  Stephen's of course wasn't because of the phone, it was because he dropped it in the road and it got ran over multiple times.  Mine, the touch screen went out in less than a years time.  I have had an Iphone in the past.  I liked it fine, but don't like iTunes or that you have to pay for so many apps.  Where as with android there are way more apps and a lot of them are free.  I am just trying to decide whether to go back to iPhone with the 4S, or maybe go with another android....  any suggestions on what you love/recommend?
