things with alotta hype

oh hi,
it's me.

i'd like to introduce you to my new addiction:

meet dorothy (the newest way to lose my brain, become lost to the real world, and any interaction with humans...and still be completely a.o.k. because she is just that cool):




{and yes, i'm also addicted to playing with the photobooth feature on my computer. sorry about that}

and so it was that i caved into the technology hoopala and hype.
i got an iPhone (happy early birthday to me!)...and i named her Dorothy.

quite frankly, i don't get what all you haters are talking about.
this thing is a-mazing.
incredible.
incredibly addicting.
and just plain cool.

and i secretly want to disappear and play with it all day long.

and sometimes i do.

so what apps can't i live without? i know i've asked this here once and on facebook...so i'm sorry if my multiple questioning is getting annoying...but i'd really like to know. i want to get the most out of this 4 inch machine.




one that someone recommended to me is Twitter. now, i have a twitter account. but i don't really get what the hype is about twitter. i don't really get how it would be useful to me. like, why would i want to know what ryan seacrest is doing or where he is? i mean, he's cool and all, and i'm the first to admit and confess that american idol is one of my favorite shows...but do i really want to know what he's eating for dinner?
enlighten me on this twitter fad, please.



while i'm on the subject of hyping things up, there's been alotta hype about trader joe's. i've been in trader joe's once like a bazillion years ago...and don't remember anything about it. i mean, it kinda sounds like a souped up cow-boy gear store that also has fishing poles, saran wrap, and mustard. people keep telling me, "you're so lucky to live close to a trader joe's. i love that place." but then they scurry off and forget to tell me what's so great about it. so, tell me about this trader joe's phenomenon. what makes it so darn special? what's all the hype??

and now, i'd like to make a whole lotta hype about his gal: Dari, who has an Etsy headband shop here. she just held a giveaway on her blog...and i guess what goes around comes around because yours truly WON! i never win anything (i know, i know, how cliche) so i feel very, extremely, hyped-up-excited. i love all of her adorable lil headbands. i'm deciding between this one:




this one:




and this one:




i need help choosing.
what are your thoughts?
i'm leaning towards the first one...
or maybe one of the others listed in her shop here...
i stink at committing to choosing consumer products..unless it's the iPhone.

and we've come full circle.

soooo, i think i've shared enough hype with you for one day
i look forward to your knowledge and wisdom, as always.

xoxo
