			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a pretty good day today.</p>
<p>First, this morning I got the coveted free parking pass for next month at work. Its a magic little card that you wave and the gate to the underground lot opens. I wasn&#8217;t supposed to get that until next week.</p>
<p>Then I was talking to my boss and showed him my new iPhone that has e-mail capability. He made me an offer. He couldn&#8217;t give me much of a raise this year but if I put my corporate e-mail on it he can pay my cell phone bill for me. It&#8217;s a nice perk and I can be a little more productive for my job that way.  I won&#8217;t be married to it like some guys are with their blackberries, but it&#8217;s another tool in my proverbial closet to make my life easier. And I get my cell bill paid.</p>
<p>Then I got home and part one of my financial relief plan arrived in the mail so I had to go to the bank. I got there and the teller offered to upgrade my savings account to a higher interest account with no fees or limits on things like how many withdrawals a month. Sweet!</p>
<p>Then we celebrated with Japanese food for supper. YUM!!! I googled the restaurant from my iPhone in the car on the way to the bank. The search produced a phone number on my screen. I touched it and the phone asked me if i wanted to call it, so i did. How cool is that? 411 and the $1.50+ charges are a thing of the past.</p>
<p>Oh, and this is my first post from the iPhone. Tonight I found a WordPress app. It seems to work <img src='http://blackoaksdaughter.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The iPhone, it&#8217;s a cool little piece of technology.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t think I missed that the universe threw a lot of nice things at me today. Thank you universe. I have a lot to be thankful for. Today was nice icing on that cake.</p>
