First Snow.

I woke up today and found a text from Peter stating, "It's Snowing!! Love you."  It was freezing once I gathered the strength to get out of bed.  30 minutes passed since Peter initially texted me, but I was hopeful.  Unfortunately, I MISSED THE SNOW!  I was pretty disappointed.  Luckily, the snow gods decided to be gracious and granted me another snowfall later in the afternoon.  SO much snow was falling and in big chunks!  I managed to snap some photos, but they just didn't do the scene justice.  I really hoped it would just keep snowing and that the snow would stick to the ground.  Oh well, perhaps next time.  I just really want to make a snowman.  I have a huge front yard just waiting to college all that snowy goodness!


In other news, I posted on Twitter that I managed to tether my G1 phone to Peter's laptop in order to access the internet.  Essentially, I turned my G1 into a portable modem, which was nice!  I should've done that earlier and it was so simple!  The connection however wasn't THAT fast at all.  I thought it was normal at first, but after more research, things weren't adding up!  I finally figured out that my phone is connected to the EDGE network, not the higher speed 3G network.  UGH!  I checked T-mobile's coverage and I am well within range of the 3G network.  I played around with the settings, etc.  still on EDGE.  Now I am thinking it's my SIM.  Yes, old SIM works fine, I get internet, etc. etc. but not 3G.  I just never noticed since well, I broke the damn phone within 2 weeks of using it.  That's the only other possible factor I can think of since someone else had the same issue.  My SIM is about 7 (maybe 8) years old!  Definitely time for an upgrade.  I've been with T-mobile for almost 11 years.  Crazy!  My promo period is about to end with them in a couple of weeks... I'm itching to get the myTouch.  Maybe for Christmas?  Hehe.  Or I'll just try to win it :)


Speaking of sweepstakes.. I think I'm going to enter THIS sweep.  Considering NO ONE followed the rules/directions, I think I got pretty good chances at the prize(s)!  LOL.  I figure it'll be a fun way to present my photos from London anyhow.  It'll be like a coffee table book of sorts.  I just need to order the kit to get started.  I was chuckling the whole time while looking at the entries.  The sweep will be done at the end of the month, so chances are good!
