I don’t know if randomocity is a word or not, but I’m going with it.

This weekend I ported my number from AT&T to Verizon. I switched from a first generation iPhone to a BlackBerry curve, and I love it. I’m a Mac and loved everything about my iPhone except the actual phone part. AT&T just has terrible service in the places I need it most: home and work, and I decided I didn’t want to wait till the end of June when my contract is up, so I’ve been reading and researching and trying to decide what kind of device to get. Verizon has the best coverage around here, and they’re what I had before the iPhone, so I knew I’d go back.

I went with the BlackBerry Curve and love it. E-mail is super fast, I can use voicedialing again (I know there were apps for that on the iPhone but it wasn’t the same), and I can use my iPhone like an iTouch. The best part is that while I had no service or maybe one bar with AT&T while sitting in my recliner, I now have four bars, so I can make calls without losing the connection, plus I can hear the other person and they can hear me much clearer. Oh happy day!

From my own experience and what I’ve read online, if Apple and Verizon ever get together on a phone–watchout! They will gain some serious market share.

Next topic: Super Bowl. Wow–way to go, Jennifer Hudson. I’m sorry your family couldn’t be there to see and hear you sing the national anthem, but I’m sure they would be incredibly proud. God bless you. The game was good; I was pulling for the Cards because they seemed to be the underdog and it was such a shock that they made it that far in the season, but it’s fine that the Steelers won. I think they made a great choice in Mike Tomlin for their head coach. The commercials seemed a bit blah to me. The NBC lmao cracked me up, and I love those E-Trade commercials with the talking toddler.

One last thought: I went to the assisted living place this afternoon to visit my 93-year-old grandmother. She’s lived there just over a year; prior to that, she lived alone in her home. She’s fallen several times the past few years, and last fall she fell and broke her hip. She made it fine through surgery and rehab, and physically has done really well. Mentally, things are slipping. She knows who we are still, most of the time, but she doesn’t really make much sense when she talks.

She was OK at first today, but then, for whatever reason, she got into this funk. Her voice got weak and shaky, she seemed really confused, asking where her family had gone while we were all sitting around her, and then she began to talk to the Lord, asking Him what she was gonna do, who was gonna take care of her. Then she wondered why He didn’t just take her on. She’s said this a few times before, but today it just broke my heart. I have no idea how much longer she’ll be with us, but I feel her utter exhaustion and think it may not be much longer. It’s like she’s absolutely, completely exhausted and is just almost at the point where she can’t, and maybe doesn’t want to, go on. I think it’s a blessing and a curse to live such a long life.
