I'm still alive.

3 weeks ago I had a life altering experience... I had a heart attack.
It was minor and they didn't even feel a need to put a stint in my artery but it shows how bad my heart is.
It was always rumored that heart disease ran in my father's side of the family. Granddad died from a heart issue (i'm not sure what) and I think my dad had heart problems but that's not how he died so I'm not sure.
What I do know is back in the 1990's I was diagnosed with Cardiomegaly, an enlarged heart. What they didn't explain to me at the time is it's almost impossible to have it at my young age. It wasn't until this heart attack that the doctors told me it's probably a genetic abnormality so thanks again family, our freaking mutant genes screw me again.
Recovery has been normal I guess but I have a cold that just won't go away and it makes me miserable.

John and I now have iPhone 4s' and we love them. Siri is a hoot. I asked her to open the pod bay doors and she told me she couldn't do that. *giggle*.

Damn you Steve Jobs!

John has been hinting about me getting a Tablet PC (read iPad 2) for a few weeks now, and he of course didn't want to just TELL me to get the iPad 2. He "left it up to me" to choose (what iPad 2 color) what kind of tablet I wanted. Every time I told him I wasn't really interested in the iPad he would get dejected and poo poo my choice (the Asus EEE tablet Transformer) even though he would admit it was a "very close second to the iPad2"

Well we went and got me an iPad 2 (anyway) and i'm actually loving it. it's not the most powerful at only 16gig and only wifi connected. but I'm honestly really liking it. It's all the things in an iPahone that I like but in a size I can honestly use without wanting to cut my hands off and having a smaller set sewn on. I have HUGE hands. My glove size is 3x, so little buttons are a pain in my ass.

my only problem now is that I have to say "Thank You" to Steve Jobs, a man who's business practices I am not all that comfortable with. But everyone is happy, John has an iPad he can use whenever he wants and I get a tablet I have been wanting for a while. I have all my D&D books on it and a dice roller so I'm all set for gaming should I decide to get back into it. (I REALLLY want to get back into table top gaming!!!!!)

News on housing... John has been looking at properties in the Phoenix area and he found a house that is selling in the $40,000 range. This same house was going for $250,000 only 2 years ago, that how bad the market is in AZ. I really hope we get this job.

I'm thinking I should learn Spanish.
