Shoot Me I had to Pee

The other day I was talking to a friend via cell phone and we were actually talking and not texting) sometime I forget I can actually make calls with my cell phone). And we were having one of those really funny conversations that you can only have with good friends. You know the kind of friend were you know each other so well and you are telling a story and they totally get why its funny and when you tell the same story to your mom she looks at you like your crazy.


When all the sudden I realized that she was peeing while talking to me, I started laughing and she asked what’s funny.

I asked,” Are you peeing?"

Sheepishly she answered, "Yes".

I then tell her "I am peeing too."

This causes you both to laugh some more. It’s possible we were both drinking wine also but I am pretty sure we would have laughed without the wine.

And I realize this is another one of those stories that my mom would look at me like I am crazy and say something like it’s not polite to talk on the phone while you are going the bathroom.

But I am pretty sure my mom did that the other day while I was talking to her on the phone.

IT Girl

The other day I was observing my very cute 3 yr old niece "texting" on her play phone. This both amused and made me a bit reflective. Lets be honest I remember life before the ever present cell phone when I was excited to get my 1st cordless landline phone. I remember getting my 1st cell phone in college and being excited that I would no longer miss calls. And I could call my roommate to tell her to get the blender ready cause I passed/failed a physics test and we are having margarita night to celebrate/mourn. I started to wonder what my mother sees my niece doing that cause her to be amazed. Does she stare at the 8 year old as she logs on to watch missed episodes of iCarly amazed? Does my grandma watch the the kids in awe as they navigate the complicated DVR settings? And then I was wondering is all this technology good or bad? Growing up in life before every home had a home computer let alone a lap top I think technology has enhanced my life but I have grown fond of no internet weekends. But only when its my choice, if the lack of technology is because something is broken I have a nervous breakdown. Then I started thinking about all the stuff I do on the internet in addition to my blog, I'm on Facebook, Twitter, Flickster, Goodreads, Myfamily, and Flicker. I think that everything In addition to that I have a total of 6 different email address...Yes that's 6 emails including my work email. I tried internet dating on eHarmony but that didn't work for me. I really don't have a point to all this I was just reflecting on how different life is now combared to 30 years ago.

Stick A Fork In Me.....

The worse thing in the World has happened to me. Its quite tragic. Please stop reading if you think you cant handle the news I'm about to give you. MY OVER PRICED SMART PHONE IS NOT WORKING. I'm sick just sick....I cant function without. I'm not sure how I am expected to function without my phone. I use my phone for everything. It has my schedule, my shopping list, my email. Seriously how am I to check Facebook on the run if my phone is not working. Stick a Fork in me I'm done. I give up I'm not sure how to continue with my life. I am 20 mins away from digging a hole, laying down and asking someone to cover me with dirt. I am about to call my cell phone carrier and calmly relay how frustrated I am and discover my options for fixing it. Wish me luck and pray for my phone.
