Morning Meanderings… Happy Birthday Happy Birthday!!!

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

LOL

I am having a pretty good week.  After the Monday What Are You reading Celebration, a fantastic book club meeting last night (review and discussion up later today), and now today…. is my birthday.

I am in a fine festive mood and feel we need a little theme music here before I can move on so hang on while I put some music on…

hang on…

be right back…

*looking through stacks of music*

Ok… sweet!  Here we go:

Oh come on it is 80’s!  Whats not to love?  😛

Anyway while I dance around my kitchen table with my coffee cup let me share a happening and a tip….

Last night at book club I apparently dropped my cell phone in the snow.  By the time I left 2 1/2 hours later (yeah… we were chatty last night) I found it iced over by my vehicle…. it was functioning but slowly.

Thanks to my son doing the same thing a year ago _ I knew what to do.

I brought it home and put it in a Ziploc of rice.  Apparently the rice will draw any moisture out of the phone.  The verdict?  It is working fine today.


SO – birthday agenda?  Nothing great really.  I work until 3, then hitting the gym…. home for dinner and then 6:30 I take Chance to Youth Group and myself to class.  AT 8 pm I plan to run Chance home and then at 8:15 meet up with a few girlfriends for appetizers for a small but “Woo Hoo its your birthday” gathering.  The eating healthy is on hold until the Birthday is over.  😀

  7. Happy, happy birthday, Sheila! It’s a great month — week, even — to be born! 😀 Mine wasn’t a huge deal this year, either. But I hope you have a good day.

    1. Thanks Jill – its funny because when I set this to post I had thought I had pulled the picture because I thought it was cheesy….

      later on when I looked at the post comments and seen someone had commented on the glasses I was like – WHAT? Yup – there it is.

    Great choice of birthday song…takes me back!

    I have dropped a phone in the washing up bowl(no fear of that now I have a dishwasher) but freezing your mobile is new to me 🙂

    Thanks for the tip on rice drawing out moisture.

  28. Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day.

    I used the rice trick this weekend on a TV remote. Worked great. Have had to use it for cell phones in the past as well.
