My cell phone is possesed?

I picked it up last night to make sure my alarms were set for this morning. All 3 alarms said alarm 1, alarm 2 and alarm 3, not the names I had given them previously. They were off and the time was not selected. It just seems odd, but I reset the alarms and went to bed. This morning, a few of the kids have sore throats, so I grabbed my cell phone and went to call the doctor. All my contacts are gone. Also, I noticed all my text messages have disappeared. Thankfully all my photos are still there, waiting for me to save them all to my removable micro sd card and move them to my pc.

I still have no idea what happened. #3 had my phone Saturday, as his was being recharged when he left for work. I don't think he deliberately changed anything.

Christmas was crazy

I decided to get my hernia repaired a few days before Christmas, as my oldest daughter was here to help while I recovered. Hubby insisted I had to follow the dr orders, no lifting and rest. I was bored! We drove up to NY a few days after my surgery to see my parents. It was not boring there. Between my family and the grandkids who live with them, we had 15 people in their house for a few days. I left 2 kids home, one as he gets really car sick, another as he had to work. #1 has to go back to the Seattle area tomorrow. We're going to miss her! I forgot how much fun she is to have around.

My poor car!

The insurance company decided it was a total loss. The obvious damages were $600 less than the NADA value of the car. I hate shopping for a car. I wish little brother's best friend lived closer. He has been a mechanic for 25+ years and could look over the choices before I decided what to buy. I'm probably getting another 2006 Camry, as I know they are built well. Mine was totalled when I was driving 65 mph and a deer jumped in front of my car. The 2 children with me and I were not injured.

Score deer 1, Camry 0

I hit a deer on my way back from NY state last night. I do NOT recommend hitting a large deer while driving highway speeds.

The oven works!

I was right, it was the oven temperature sensor. $17+ dollars with a 2 week wait for the part to come into the local appliance store and 5 minutes to put the new part in. YAY.

To celebrate, I made 5 apple and 2 pumpkin pies for dinner Sunday. :)

FALL!

Finally! The weather in this area of Virginia has been wonderful the last week or so. Not too hot, not too cold, perfect fall weather. I like it when it does not get above 80 during the day and stays above freezing at night. Of course, as soon as I remove the air conditioners, it will probably get warm again...

Stink bugs!

They are everywhere this year. My kids rooms (on the second floor of the house), the ceilings have many stink bugs. They have found their way into my home office/ hubby's workshop. I have killed a dozen today and there are still more in my office. ARGH!
