Christmas spirit

Sometimes I wonder what happened to the Christmas spirit. Our last shift, we had a strong arm purse snagging, a bank robbery, and a home invasion in one day. A friend of mine's son in law has had to pull his gun twice in a month's time. Another friend witnessed the theft of two iPhones at the AT&T store.
When everything seems hopeless, I finally heard about this story. A man walks into Walmart in Huntsville and pays for everyone's layaway accounts. Finally the spirit survives!

Busy time of year

Just finished my computer class except for the final next week. But working like crazy and remodeling the kitchen before we host Christmas.
Total demo today, work fire academy tonight, fire station tomorrow, off to A&M the Friday for Chloe'e's field trip the next, back to fire station the next, then resheetrock the kitchen Sunday Painters coming in on Monday. Next week is no better, working two more fire academy nights on top of work and Shaina wants to redo the fireplace too.
These pics show the soffits above the cabinets removed plus the drop down box of lights over the island. The second pic shows burnt wires and insulation because of the last owners handy work.

iPhone 4s

Finally got my phone upgraded. My old one was slow as hell. I want to plug my Kingwood AT&T store. The manager, Ruth, was the only one who would tell me when they will receive the phones and even called me when the UPS truck arrived.
I now have all kinds of more useful apps including being able to use my tasks from my work outlook exchange from my phone.
By the way, this is my first post from my iPhone blogger app!
