Leaping into---technology.

My plan was to post on Part 3 tonight.  However, our new SMART phones (Amy knows my old phone was "stupid") arrived.  I was anxiously awaiting the UPS truck all. day.  Finally just after 4:00 it pulled up right in front of my front door.  The delivery driver took his sweet time and finally rushed out -- to my neigbor's door.  At this point I came out onto my front step.  Wha?? Is he mistakenly delivering my new VERY long awaited phone to the wrong address?  Awkward wave and nervous smile...Got anything for me??!  She said in a slightly too high-pitched voice...We'll see...YES!!! It turns out my neigbors also had a package rightfully delivered today.  He handed me my package and a rushed inside and ripped it open.  Hours later and I've put my toddler to bed and proceeded to set up my new phone, as well as download as many free apps as I could.  If you had ever talked to me on my old phone and found it impossible to make out whether I was even speaking English, or seen my frustration as my puny, colorless screen went blank--AGAIN--you would understand my obsession and excitement.

ALL of that to say, I still have about 20 pages left to read of Part 3. 

Part 3 is loooong.  My guess is that no one will be too upset if Part 3's post is slightly delayed by a day or so.

Also, I just read through the new comments and WOW---the stores must be selling out of smarty pants because you are all wearing 'em.  I apologize for that joke.  Clearly the radiation eminating from my new phone has fried away some -a lot- of my brain cells over the last couple of hours.  But now you understand why I will be responding to your deep thoughts and questions once I've had some healthy space from my NEW PHONE.  So freaking excited.
