Yes, I am that Lazy

This morning while I was laying bed listening to the psedostep-kids playing and drinking my 1st cup of coffee*, I start to smell the delicious breakfast The BF was cooking. I roll over to send a text message to The BF telling him how yummy breakfast smells.

It dawns on me that I am incredibly lazy. I could have very easily got out of bed and talked to The BF but I choose to text message someone who is down the hall. I love technology.

*I need to add a quick side note of appreciation..most weekends The BF brings me coffee in bed. Sometimes I bring it to him but most the time he spoils me and I can not express how grateful I am at this little act of kindness.

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.
