*gasp*

Finally, a picture of the 8830 or 8300 or Daytona or whatever the heck people are calling it!

It's been rumored that a full qwerty pearl was going to come out... usability of an 8700, sleekness of the pearl, wifi, GPS, 2.0mp camera and more. But when the pictures of the 8100 came out and there was no camera I was so disappointed. I gave up on the blackberry and invested wholeheartedly into the launch of the iPhone coming out in June.

But now a sneak peek into Blackberry's newest...

The screen is showing a video player... hmmm...


Look at how sleek this is.


Yes folks... that is a camera!! :)

Trying new things.

I'm trying a new creamer in my coffee today.

I used to add a splash of soymilk to my coffee but it caused it to cool too quickly. I take the soymilk fresh out of the fridge and adding it to the coffee immediately cooled it down to a drinkable temperature, but by the time I got to my desk it would get stale too quickly.

So today I thought, I'll just drink it black with splenda. But black coffee just looks gross. And when coffee looks gross, it tastes gross. I decided to try a creamer today. We have 4: Irish Cream, Hazelnut, Vanilla and regular half & half. I went with hazelnut.

Now my coffee is a weird orange-ish color and smells funny. It tastes yummy and is still piping hot, though.

Wait, is creamer dairy? :-O

EDIT:
Q: Does International Delight contain lactose?
A: No, International Delight does not contain lactose. However, it does contain sodium caseinate, a milk derivative.

Awesome.

TV = Bad for your eyes.

All this time and my mommy is right. TV is bad for your eyes.

I watched 3 episodes of Grey's Anatomy back-to-back and I swear my eyesight deteriorated. I was watching poor quality VCD's (ssshhhhhhh...) and halfway through I started getting a headache. It's even hard for me to focus on the computer screen right now.

Or maybe it's a combination of watching TV all day and being in front of the computer screen all day everyday at work.

Either way, I'm worried that I'm undoing my Lasik surgery... :(

Back to work.

Sorry for the lack of updates Yona. Things have been moving so fast.

Wow I can't believe I've been working for almost an entire month now! My typical day is to wake up at 7 and eat breakfast (Trader Joe's oatmeal) while checking my e-mail. Then I get ready for work and I'm out the door by 8am. Depending on the morning traffic I get to work anywhere from 8:30a to 8:45a. Yup... Sheena is always early for work :) Actually there are days I have to get in by 8a for a conference or 7a when I need to traffic things over to Dallas in the mornings.

So as I start up my computer (Windows & the Microsoft Exchange Server takes FORever) I run over to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. I try to limit myself to just one a day now. Some freshly brewed Starbucks drip coffee, a bit of soymilk and two splendas and I'm good to go.

I eat some cut up fruit that I bring from home at my desk as I work through the morning. If I have a series of meetings I'll go to the kitchen to grab a bowl of cereal or on Fridays we have bagels or pastries. Yum! Lunch's are usually at my desk (I grab to-go from the cafe in the lobby) but I try to get out of the office at least once a week with the gang. These can easily turn into 1.5 or 2 hour lunches when we're not careful... but there are a lot of great places to eat in the surrounding areas. (El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, etc.)

Fast forward through the workday, I typically leave around 7pm. I either go to happy hour (seriously, I work with a bunch of alkies... my first week there they went out 4 times) or this week I started going to the gym. Or, if I've had a really long day I just go home exhausted, shower and catch up on Grey's Anatomy/24.

And there it is boys and girls. My new daily grind. The crazy thing? I'm enjoying it all. :)

Genius.

If you've had a meal with me anytime in the last several months, you've probably heard my newest food complaint. I'm lactose intolerant. What a sick twist of fate, huh? Cereal in the mornings... cheese on pizza... pinkberry frozen yogurt... jamba juice... grilled cheese sandwiches... pancakes drenched in butter... all of it gives me a tummy ache. I actually ate Lactaid for the first time today with some Papa John's pizza and I'm not sure if it worked 100%. I still felt weird stomach pains... although it might have all been in my head.

Anyways I went home today and found some Veggie Slices in the fridge.



This stuff is genius! It looks like american cheese. It smells like american cheese. It tastes like american cheese. But it's SOY! I love it!

There's hope after all!
