freedom

as many of you know life changes all the time.
one change in the life of the newey's is that we are not longer cell phone people. we will see how long this holds out-i must admit i am excited. but at the same time i am a little worried. i have had a cell phone since the beginning of my sophmore year in college. but i think this will be a freeing experience.
i know what you must be thinking-yeah sure it sounds nice but once reality hits i will be going through cell phone withdrawls. I don't think this will happen. in fact-i am so impressed by the amount of people worried for me that the need for fear is sliping directly into the hands of the onlookers as they craddle their phones with a parent like snuggle.
i say change is good and for those that are looking for a drastic change in budget, outlook, and some personal time try getting rid of your cell phones. :) let me know how it goes

Ode to Black Friday

Black Friday

Black Friday

the early morning ring of the clock

bringing with its ringing the joys of savings

with ads well marked and a plan well mapped

out to find the presents to be wrapped

Many flew at the sight of the lines

but those with weak stomachs won't get the finds

no fighting

no biting

just laughs and long talks

long drives gives us

a chance to catch up

finally done with socks in hand

on cloud nine ready for lunch

find something new to munch

what deals we have found

what time we have spent

oh Black Friday

oh great day
