Why I Really Really Don’t Want to Give Back my loaner HTC WindowPhone 8X

Feb 6 Posted by nancyjrab 2 Comments

I love my HTC Windows Phone 8X.  Only it's not mine.  It's a loaner, given (lent) to me by HTC so I could review it. Only I don't want to give it back. Really, I don't. It's no surprise that I love Windows Phone.  I love it so much that even though the only model Sprint carried with the operating Continue Reading

Les Miserables: What am I missing?

Dec 19 Posted by nancyjrab 6 Comments

Anne Hathaway is fantastic in Les Miserables, the movie that seems poised to be the mega-hit of the holiday season.  Sacha Baron Cohen is a charming rake and looks like he's having a ball.

Sep 16 Posted by nancyjrab 1 Comment

Imagine if there was a battle between Batman, (the caped crusader) and Nancy Drew, (the girl detective) Who would win? Depends on what the fight was. If they were vying on a brawn-only basis, Batman. Brains? Nancy Drew. But if you asked my ten year old twins who would win - then you'd have a real Continue Reading

Sep 13 Posted by nancyjrab 7 Comments

I have always hated housework. I know what you're thinking....doesn't everyone?  But no, not everyone does.  Some people feel a sense of accomplishment.  Some people get into the Zen of it. Me?  I just plain hate it. Which is why I am SO bummed out, that because of Blogher, I'm feeling OBLIGATED Continue Reading
