Valentines sweet treat for little ones, and a Strawberry kiss cocktail

First I would like to say today is the big launch for the iPhone at Verizon, for all of us that are already subscribers.  When they first announced that they were getting it, I was like a little school girl, excited beyond belief.  There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to be the first in line today to get my iPhone that I have so desperately wanted.  But, I won't be in line today, or anytime soon for my iPhone.  I read a tweet from Apple that since I waited this long, I could wait a few more months.  Apparently in June, they are redesigning the phone to run better on the LTE network.  Whatever that means.  To me, it means I have to wait until June so that my iPhone runs smoothly on the Verizon network.  I guess then, it will be worth the wait.  I would hate to go get the iPhone today, and be ticked off that I have issues with it not running smoothly!  I just thought I would share that with you all.

Now to business.  Since Valentines is quickly approaching I'm going to share a sweet little treat for your sweet little ones.

I heard the same thing and will be waiting until June! We've waited for so long - what are a few more months!

That's a shame about your phone. I've been following but found you on Twitter. It may be easier to keep up.

All the best,
