Priceless

The ONE time I don't check to make sure I have my cell before I leave a place, I leave it behind. Go figure.

I went almost 12 hours without my cell phone today, and I was sleeping for most of those hours... but it really makes you think about how addictive technology can become. When I picked up my phone around 11:30 this morning, I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief. My crack was back!

Suddenly the sun was shining! The day had dawned! Life could continue!

I can't even remember how I managed to be social without one. I think of how many times I've truly needed it and sometimes forget that I used to have to do without one:

I mean, when I was meeting up with friends in an incredibly public place - how did I find them in that huge crowd?

When I was running late, how did I let someone know? When I was early, how did I communicate to my friends that they needed to hurry up?

What DID girls use in bars to keep them "busy" as they tried to blow off some drunk guy?

How DID girls/guys break up with each other without text messaging?! (Just a joke. I realize text-breakups are almost as bad as Post-It note ones ala Carrie/Berger in Sex and the City.)

Oh dear cell, how I've missed you. I'm sorry you had to sleep alone last night but thankfully, you are right back on my nightstand - where you belong! (And in case Anna decides to drunk dial me tonight!)
