I’ve been in the worst mood all afternoon.
I think it’s because I have a ton of crap to do before leaving tomorrow night and I’m not getting any of it done because I don’t feel like it.
tough predicament.
Even receiving a magnum of wine from the friendly FedEx man this afternoon didn’t flip my frown.
{I put it next to a light for size reference, but after looking at it, I’m pretty sure it did absolutely nothing.}
So I’m focusing on last week in happier times, but to be honest, what time with cheap margaritas isn’t a happy time?
Last week one night we drove down to San Clemente to go to La Siesta Mexican restaurant. We didn’t go on a Tuesday, but supposedly their $1 Taco Tuesdays are the best thing in the universe or so the man says.
It’s kinda hole-in-the-wall but not too much so maybe more like crack-in-the-wall? Either way, it was good food, super fast service, and relatively cheap. just like my date.
For $9.25, the combo salad with grilled chicken was awesome. and huge. I ended up taking half home and if you know me IRL (I’m sorry for you), I can put a hurt on some salad.
The hus even thinks their margaritas are better than Chili’s which is sacrilege to say in our household.
I had a skinny margarita that was served in a martini glass which sorta confuses me.
Quick question: anyone have a Samsung Galaxy S3 or a HTC EVO? I’m thinking of going to Sprint and thinking of getting one of these phones…

Funny, Ive been in a horrible mood all day today too. but Don’t worry, I won’t get “pissy” again on here and tell you why
Wishing you a wonderful race! You will be fabulous as always! sent my check yesterday morn for my shirt! thanks again for doing that. awesome idea to help sandy victims!
I have the Samsung galaxy. It’s awesome! I switched from an iphone. But I must state that an iphone is user friendly than an android. But I think androids have better features. You just need to be patient and learn them.
Crappy mood, eh? I’ve been in the worst of moods since last night. I’m not going to be one of those turd blog trolls that go on a diatribe on other people’s blogs as if anyone would care…but I’d say nearly 50% of the country is also in a crappy mood right now, too.
I’m right there with you, girl. I’m just thankful I’ve been at a work conference all day and it’s kept my mind occupied.
I wish we had a “like” button on this page. I’m right there with you.
I have heard great things about the galaxy but personally I can’t part with my iPhone. And yes, margaritas fix everything
Either one is a good pick. The EVO is older (not that it really matters), but I would probably pick it over the S3 because I feel like the S3 is just HUMUNGO!
I totally go for salty Mexican when I am in a crappy mood. Nothing like starting with chips ‘n salsa before diving into something cheesy, heavy, and possibly fried…just to crack a half smile.
I’m convinced that Taco Tuesday at the Rosa’s near my house is the reason I’m not getting in better shape. $3.99 for three tacos (soft or hard, beef or chicken) with rice and beans and all the condiments you can pile in there. It’s crazy busy in there but I’ll elbow an old lady to get at those tacos.
Good luck on your next race and I hope you get in a better mood soon! Thanks for the Pro Compression code; I picked up two pairs of argyle socks!
Don’t beat yourself up. All of us have crabby days. Even endorphin pumping athletes like yourself!
I had an EVO and it was okay. I love my iPhone (4s) that I got after the EVO a lot more! I’m also on Sprint.
We have a restaurant that does Taco Tuesdays and it’s the best! I always meet my girlfriends there for dinner. They offer $1 tacos and $1.50 margaritas for dinner on that night.
Some days are like that, with the crappy moods. It happens.
I had an EVO Shift (with the keyboard) and liked it.
The Kidless Kronicles
I have the Samsung and I love it. It has a bit of a learning curve but it is awesome and I highly recommend.
I have found that HTC phones are so hit and miss, and Samsung is known for consistently having good electronics… and you definitely get used to the size of the Galaxy.
My bff has the galaxy with sprint and watching movies on it is just awesome and its fast- a whole lot better then my blackberry torch, which isn’t saying a lot. His service with sprint seems to be ok. The martini/margarita glass thing confuses me too.
I wish I had a margarita! And I’m in a good mood, but I have a toddler so margaritas are always welcome;). I had an iPhone then switched to evo (loved it) and now I have the galaxy. I loved the evo but I’m getting used to the galaxy and liking it. Go with what’s cheaper.
And I received my shirt yesterday! So cute! A little big but makes me look like a skinny runner. Ha jk.
ahhh…must be “crappy mood Wednesday”…I’m in! not gonna go there tonight because it might just indicate I “have a problem” but you might try the Bud Light Lime-a-Rita sometime…they’re pretty much a cheap margarita in a can. Oh, and I have an iPhone…grandfathered in on the AT&T unlimited data plan…pretty much spent a week by the pool and beach in Maui watching netflix on it! AT&T doesn’t always have the best coverage though…they NEED to get that issued figured out!
I have an EVO…love it except for the battery life. I’m thinking about getting the iPhone 5 on Sprint.
My hub has the s3 and loves it!! He also tells me on a daily basis how much better it is than my iPhone…
I think that the s3 is a better choice of the two!
I have the Galaxy S 3, and love it. Terrific features, incredibly light, and great battery life for me.
As for the margarita, it could be in a teacup. A margarita is a margarita, as long as it’s mixed right.
Hope tomorrow is better for you.
Ugh im with you on the bad mood…I think mine is from the election but still…bad day…
The Samsung is the best! There are so many free apps and you can customize it like crazy!! You will love it!
I have a Galaxy S3 with Verizon and I love it.
I went from a Droid X to the S3, so it’s not much of a size change for me, though.
Both phones are awesome. Can’t go wrong either way. I also have sprint and saving the extra money on the plan is great, my service is good pretty much all the time.
I’ve been in crappy mood mode today too… seems to be a common theme today. Whatever the reason for feeling down, here’s to hoping that things get better!
Another vote for the Galaxy III. I have and love this phone. Before it I had the Galaxy I and also loved that. This is the first phone to be a real iPhone competitor, a big reason is because they are calling it the same name with all of the carriers. It was also hard to get when it was first released late this summer. It wasn’t available online and stores were selling out before they received them in-stock.
Good luck in Vegas!
I 100% DETEST the Android operating system, as it is designed entirely for someone who wants to play instagram and angry birds all the time. Terrible for anyone who wants to get work done, or, heaven forbid, make a phone call. But I think it really does matter what you are mainly using your phone for.
You know once i try angry birds for the first time it will be a downward spiral and thats all ill do for the rest of my life.
i have a droid and my husband just upgraded from a phone with out internet to the galaxy and he does complain about that making calls is difficult but that’s about 10% of what he uses the phone for. when he does make or answer calls the reception is great though.
I have had both of those phones, they’re both great – you can’t go wrong. I had the galaxy first, it has a ‘prettier’ interface for texting. I have the htc one x now and love it – it’s a bit faster and seems a bit smarter than the galaxy, the big screen is pretty too.
Ummmmmm ur wondering why ur in a bad mood today… And I see others r too…. Gee I wonder why?
im blaming it on a pms and a long to-do list.
I love crappy mood food! It’s my favorite little pick-me-up after a particularly sucky day. Hope tomorrow is better for you
I’m sorry to hear about the bad mood
I’m going through the crazy-psych-b— cycle of being a woman now, so, I get it.
I hope you wake up feeling much better in the morning!
You should use Marni for the size comparison. Bad moods are in the air, I was great all day and turned majorly toxic tonight. It happens.
Samsung according to friends although I personally use a Blackberry.
I’ve been in a funk, crappy and bear mood for the last 3 weeks (popped a hip flexor and have not been able to run, workout or even mount the stairs without help). It’s affecting everyone around me and yesterday, I broke down completely. It was so tiring keeping up the pretense and feelings.

I Have the Samsung and in all honesty im switching back to the iPhone. The Samsung definitely has a ton of amazing features but it is not an intuitive interface like the iPhone. It took me no time to learn the iPhone – almost 4 months with Samsung and I’m still clueless. Hate it.
Love my Samsung Galaxy S3. It’s da’bomb – for reals, yo! (Oh man, somebody stop me; not sure where that came from…) Anywho, yeah, love this phone, it has amazing features and beautiful screen quality and I love that the screen picture is the size of the phone. When I purchased I had been considering an iPhone but hated the crappy small size of the screen. Boo to Apple. Although I guess I should make the disclaimer that I was previously using a seriously ghetto older Sony Ericsson model that would have made a piece of poo sound like a serious upgrade. That thing was useless with a capital U. OK, so the only thing about my old phone is that it was small and easy to run with which was nice. This one, not so much. Not a biggie though… there’s still love in the air after three whole months of having it.
Hi! I have the Galaxy S3 and it’s great! I realy love it, and before this phone I had an Galaxy S(the first one) which was great aswell. So yeah, there’s my opinion!:)
I had the EVO before I got my iPhone. I really liked it and was perfectly happy. The only reason I got the iPhone is because I decided to wash the EVO and it broke
. Good luck. BTW I’m with sprint. I have no complaints but I’m on the East Coast.
I had an Evo, but switched to iPhone. Ill ever go back to android now!
Hope you are feeling better!!! That looks like a fun time-I can’t get enough Mexican…it’s kind of a problem! : )
I know it’s only 8am, but I could totally go for a margarita right now. Then again, that could be the delirium from shoveling snow for forever this morning.
The lovely female visitor is with me this week so that has left me feeling awesome and eating 7lbs of chocolate a night. TMI, sorry
Chili’s Presidente Margarita=cure for any bad day. Amazing. Also try the Bonefish margarita with Patron. Talk about delicious and fresh. I could go on and on about margaritas/tequila. Enough said.
Have you though of an i-phone? They are pretty much amazing. However disclaimer: once you get one you won’t want anything else. Not familiar with HTC or Samsung. But can you really go wrong with a smart phone? They kinda do everything….
I hope your mood improves
I have the Samsung Galaxy, I like it, but I don’t love it.
I had the EVO for a work phone and HATED it! The battery died every couple of hours. I love my iphone5 and I’ve heard good things about the galaxy s3, plus I think you would enjoy their recent commercials!
Galaxy S3 all the way. But Sprint service is not the best.
My BF swapped from an iPhone 4S to S3 with no problem. Except that he was a little upset I was right (about Android products).
I hope today is a better day for you!! Thanks for posting about having a down day – always nice to know that you aren’t alone even when things aren’t sunny!!! Margaritas are welcome on good and bad days here!!
Hope you get everything on your to-do list knocked out quickly today!
Samsung fo sho. I’ve had all of the levels, and would go no other way. I think I mentioned once my love affair with swype. Iphone will never get ahold of me.
Chin up, drinky wine. Smile a big smile. It’s almost Friday and that’s a great thing!
Ha ha. I went grocery shopping yesterday and realized at checkout “Ohhh, I have PMS!” lol. Sometimes there are just those days…. Now go drink yourself the Apple cult Kool Aid and get that Iphone!!
Whenever I hear about HTC Evo, I think of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3, and I love it! I was worried that the size would feel too big after using a BlackBerry for so long, but I adjusted SO quickly.
Highly recommend NOT getting the EVO. I replaced mine recently… after Sprint replaced it 3 times (the 4th time it stopped working things got aggressive and I cracked the glass… sprint won’t fix that
). The screen freezes/reboots and the charging port gets dislodged from the motherboard from charging it so Sprint has you buy a camera charger and take the battery out to charge it every time… until you cause a scene and then replace it… but then it happens again 3 months later. You get the point here…
I am with Sprint (in Dallas) and just got the HTC EVO this past Saturday and love it! My previous phone was the HTC Hero which I had for a little over 2 years so it wasn’t too much of a learning curve to go to the EVO.
I hate bad days like those, once IM in a funk its staying!Hope youre feeling better today and that you and the man made up!!
http://coffeebeansandbobbypins.blogspot.com/
we did, he’s learned to just ignore my crazy….
he first told me to “its’ not a big deal, get over it” which sent me into another tizzy… “you need to recognize my feelings and not negate them!!!! blah blah blah!!!” and then he realized the error in his ways and began apologizing up and down for pretty much everything thats wrong in the world.
HAHAHA!
SR- I have also been in a foul mood. I am going to be thinking about you and sending up a little prayer for you. I hope you feel better.
Also- skinny margs are ALWAYS served to me in martini glasses. It confuses me too.
Nora
thank you!
Hi SR, hope you are having a better day today! I have to say – one reason I love your blog is all the awesome comments after each post – you obv attract amazing women (mostly although I’m sure there’s a few guys) of all ages/talents/high levels of intelligence and I sort of feel like we’re all a family even though most of us are strangers behind our computer screens. Thank you for bringing us all together!
My husband and I have had the EVO with Sprint since it first came out. We both really like it and haven’t had any problems. My son has the Galaxy S3 and he loves it.
I was in a super foul mood yesterday, too. A good, sweaty workout fixed it and I’m feeling much better today. Even better after I run and drink beer with my girls tonight.
I have the Samsung Galaxy SII, which I only went with because TMobile let me have it for free as opposed to $200+ for the SIII. I absolutely LOVE the phone and have been super happy with it. Then again, it probably didn’t take much to make me happy since I came from a Blackberry…
I do love that I can use the running apps so I don’t need a Garmin. The music player syncs with iTunes, so I don’t need an iPod. So, when I run, I have one device that takes care of it all. Yay!
I had the Evo when it first came out and upgraded to the Galaxy S3 when that was released. I absolutely love both phones. I personally would go with the Galaxy S3 since it is the newer phone and I believe is a tad faster. Plus it has a bigger screen, is thinner, and weighs less. Either way I don’t think you can go wrong with either phone from Sprint.
I have the HTC and it’s awesome! The camera alone makes it worth it!
I just got the Galaxy s3 after much deliberation (couldn’t decide between an iPhone or this one). My last — and first — smart phone was the HTC Desire and I LOVED it. After spending a week with a friend who has the Galaxy and reading a bunch of feature reviews, I decided that for my needs (call sound quality, maps/navigation, battery life) the Galaxy was the smarter choice.
I’m very happy with it. No doubt, the phone is HUGE, but the screen is lovely and it still fits nicely in my back pocket.
The biggest issue I see with Android phones in general is getting used to how the thing works. I thought my learning curve would be relatively gentle based on the fact that I had an Android phone before, but while most reviews indicate that Samsung hasn’t messed with Android too much on the Galaxy, there still seem to be a lot of Samsung-specific “features” that can sometimes make using the phone for basic functions seem more cumbersome than necessary. Part of circumventing that is just finding the right feature or setting to activate/deactivate, which can take a bit of time.
Overall, I love the Galaxy. The call sound quality is very good (not great), the navigation system is shockingly good, texting is super easy, the large screen makes navigating through menus and apps an absolute joy, and the camera is probably the best camera I’ve ever had. On the downside, I’ve been disappointed with the battery life. I’ve installed a couple of apps that are supposed to help extend the battery life and it has gotten better, but I still find myself needing to charge the phone every night.
Here’s a decent comparison of the Galaxy s3 and the EVO & One X: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-htc-one-x-htc-evo-4g-lte/
I used a digitaltrends review to help me decide between the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy and everything they had to say about the Galaxy was pretty much on target. I should add (because I clearly haven’t said enough) that I never even considered the EVO because my understanding is you can’t remove the battery or add an SD card if you want to increase storage and if I got an Android I wanted to have those capabilities. You can do both with the Galaxy.
Good luck!
thank you!!!
I had a bad day the other day too…it was like everything was annoying me?! So I ate chocolate & went to bed at 9. It was awesome.
iphone all the way, baby!
My husband has the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it is amazing. I like it better than the iPhone, mostly because the screen is HUGE.
My Vote is for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. I have one and love it. Screen is gorgeous, its quick, takes good pictures. I also manage our cell phone account for work and have put about 10 techs, engineers, and sales reps in the same phone. They all love it. I think it is a better phone than the iphone 5 even.
I have sprint and have had the iphone for 1 year now. Since I don’t have any children I seriously consider my phone to be like a child to me…just kidding. But seriously, the iphone is totes worth it!!! And who can beat the unlimited data that sprint has.
I have the Galaxy S3, and love it. The size is real easy to adjust to. I went from a Galaxy S (Captivate), 4″ screen phone to this and the transition was real easy. I’m a pretty heavy user on it and my battery lasts 15-20 hours. The biggest drain on the GS3 is the screen. It takes a lot of battery to power the super amoled screen.
One thing I would recommend is changing the launcher from TouchWiz (Samsung’s stock launcher) to Nova Launcher. There are a lot more features, and it can be setup more to your liking.
With either phone, the resolution is better than the iphone, however the iphone retina display has 326 ppi (pixles per inch), and the Evo LTE has 312 ppi, and the GS3 has 306 ppi. There isn’t a whole lot of difference. Pictures will be very sharp on the screen.
Good luck with your venture into the world of android superphones!
I’ve got the galaxy and it hardly ever has issues. Usually if it acts up I just turn it off for a little while and turn it back on and it’s fine. I’d buy it again.
I hear ya on the bad mood. Went to an event with hubby last night and after several wine sprizers, fried mac cheese balls and little pop cheese cakes it was MUCH improved.
Can’t help you on the phone as I have a simple basic aka cheap phone.
OK, you probably are not going to like this but go iPhone
I annoy myself when I get in moods like that. Blahhhh!
On a better note, I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and LOVE IT!!! I traded in my iPhone for it about a month ago. No complaints, and I think the S3 is way better than the iPhone in all aspects.
I hate those mood-fluff’s we get into. Boo! I have the previous version of the Samsung Galaxy, and its great. Depending how many apps you download can be a bit slow. Love it!
I just got the galaxy 3 and I won’t go back. I live this phone! It took some adjusting, but completely worth it. I used it as my primary camera while on my honeymoon last week in NY.
And I’ve been in a craptacular mood for a couple days now. And sluggish. I blame the weather. Haha
Good luck with the phone choice!
