Where My Blog Got Its Name

Hi friends! So I thought I would explain to you all where my blog got its name from! Mainly because there's some news behind it! =D Back in 2010 when I was thinking of starting a blog Collin and I were talking about starting a podcast together. I was kind of wanting my new blog to be an extension of the podcast but not completely the same. Just like some extra content and what not. So, beacause of that I wanted the names to coordinate. The podcast name is This, That and the Other Day and that was just too long to make a web address and Collin didn't want my actual blog name to be the exact same. Thus I shortened the blog name to This and That and the web address to theotherdayandthat.blogspot.com (so many of my other options were taken!).

Anyway, the news! We never actually began podcasting in 2010 when we said we would. Things kept coming up, we didn't have enough money for the hosting site, etc., so it just never happened. Well, we recorded an episode on Wednesday (finally!) and posted it yesterday! I won't be on every episode like we originally thought, but I will most likely be a regular guest! The podcast will basically be a show about life, funny stories, movies, tv, etc. A type of variety show if you will. And Collin (and I) would love user submitted content and feedback too!

If you'd like to subscribe to the feed for the podcast you can do so here and if you'd like to visit the podcast's website you can do so here. I'd love it if you'd have a listen and tell me what you think! It was so fun to record. It's a short episode since it's a pilot and we were basically just introducing the show but yeah! I've embedded it below also for you to check out. I hope you all enjoy!

Little Notes

I've seen this around in the blog land where people will post little notes/letters to "things" and today my friend Courtney posted some and I felt inspired to make my own!

Dear Hulu+, I enjoy you. You let me watch current episodes of my favorite shows on my TV without having to have cable and that is fantastic. But why have you been acting up lately? I don't like having my picture freeze on me several times in one episode. It would be nice if you could fix it, please.

Dear wind, thank you for finally going away. You overstayed your welcome by about 6 days. I didn't mind you the first day. It was kind of nice having a breeze but staying around for a week, not cool. Especially since you brought us colder temperatures.

Dear pretty new tennis shoes, thank you for being so pink and cheery. You make exercising more fun. And thank you for being so lightweight and comfy!

Dear iPhone, I know I have expressed my love for you numerous times, but I still love you immensely. You are so good for me.

Dear Collin, I love you. Thank you for being so thoughtful and loving to me. Even during those times where I'm being a butt.

Dear Wal-Mart, thank you for your low prices. They make buying groceries not so daunting. But I still hate the way you treat your employees and I hate the schedule you give my husband. Cut us some slack. Collin is the best Tire & Lube Express technician you've got out there! Treat him like it.

Dear stamping, I am so glad that we found one another. You are perfect for me. I love sending cards and I love that you allow me to make my own. And that they are great! And you are so much fun!

Dear Atlantic Beach, we will be seeing each other soon. 19 days to be exact! And I could not be more excited. I anticipate our reunion with much excitement! Together let's make this a great anniversary vacation!

Love, Cindy

The Gratitude Challenge - Day 30

1 Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done.
2 Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.
Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
3 Exult in his holy name;
rejoice, you who worship the Lord.
Psalm 105 (NLT)

Today I am grateful for my new iPhone. Collin and I upgraded our phones on the 17th but the phones were on backorder and were delivered on Friday! I LOVE it. It is so awesome and amazing. And a really cool feature is the 8 megapixel camera!! Oh how I love it. It takes such beautiful and clear photos. Mmmm so wonderful. And even before I had my iPhone I was wanting to use Instagram. So you can bet that I got the app and have used it already! I am so grateful for this awesome technology!

30 Day Photography Challenge - Day 17

**For the month of June I'm going to be participating
in a 30 Day Photography Challenge
hosted by White Peach Photography.
Visit the blog here for more of the details.
To see my other posts in this challenge click here!**

Today's photo is of technology. We have so much technology in our house. Actually, there's technology all around us, even in the things we may not realize. But anyway... I'm sitting here blogging away while my husband and his friend Alan are playing Little Big Planet on the PS3 and I figured this was a pretty good representation of our favorite technologies. =)

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment! I'd love to see what technology you took a picture of!

I love Apple!

Call me a geek but I am sooo excited for this announcement! I've had my cell plan with Verizon since I got my first cell phone in 2002. Granted I was under my parent's contract, but still. I'm a loyal Verizon customer with my own plan now. Plus, it's the mobile provider with the best coverage in our area. Anyway, it has KILLED me that the iPhone was only available for AT&T. I love Apple. I love all their products and I've wanted an iPhone since they released them. The rumors that the iPhone was coming to Verizon have been going on for a while now and so I was just thrilled when I heard last week that they'd be making the announcement on Tuesday. And I was even more thrilled when I saw the announcement today and found out it was being released in February! I thought for certain they were just going to announce that it was coming to Verizon but not until the summer or fall. This is HUGE, people! Now granted, I can't afford to buy an iPhone for myself yet, but you better believe that as soon as I can afford it (and afford the extra charges from having a data plan) I will be a proud new iPhone owner! WOO!

Are any of you also excited about this new announcement? Will you be buying a Verizon iPhone in February or are you lucky and already have one through AT&T?

Man, I'm excited!!
