Starting Over

So, I decided with the help of a friend that I needed to delete that first blog of mine. It kind of left me vulnerable, if you never read it, I can tell you of my faux pas at a later date. If you read it and still don't know why, well I guess that makes me not the only one to not think things through all the time. (sorry for the bad grammar, i've had a long weekend:)) ANYWAYS...

My new blog is this... Convenience v. Simplicity

I've thought about this before, but was just reminded of it the other day. How we are now so used to being able to get a hold of someone at any time of the day. I think for some, including myself at times, we have depended on cell phones all too much. I remember just 5 or 6 years ago when my friend and I used to laugh at people who had conversations in grocery stores or the mall. It was so odd to us that something was so important it couldn't wait until after the shopping was done. We used to say that if someone was talking on their cell phone in the grocery store(we worked in a festival foods bakery) they should be able to sing the Star Spangled Banner so that everyone around them could hear. I don't remember the full logic of where that idea came, but something about how both would be obnoxious to us. (and one, rather funny and maybe a bit entertaining to a bored bakery girl)
Okay, so that was a little tangent, but I'm allowed, am I not? There are no rules to blogging. :)
All that stuff to say, I do miss the logic of not feeling like I should have my cell on me all day. The thing is, if I don't have it, then I can't call anyone because everyone is in my "contact" list embedded in the phone. Since three years ago, I've barely had to memorize any phone numbers. I don't even know my sister's phone number by memory! So, I do appreciate the convenience, but honestly I miss the simlpicity of not assuming that I should always be available, and that others should as well.
Well, it's bed time for me... the clock on the wall that chirps a different bird each hour has just gone off. Good night...
