Cell Phone Relationship

What did we ever do without cell phones! Yes I know, we shouldn't use them while we're driving, at work or in public buildings. It's annoying to hear other peoples conversations in the elevators, at the mall, or in restaurants. If you have a cell phone then you are guilty of doing one or more of the above mentioned. Let's face it, we are addicted to our phones. So much so, that many of us have done away with our land lines and have gone exclusively to cell phones. We usually don't have any problems whipping out it to send a text-message or to call anyone who will listen.

I'll be the first to say that they are very convenient and I am always mildly surprised when someone I know doesn't' have one. Today I accidentally left my phone at home and I had a moment of panic! Then I remembered that I had excess to a land-line if I needed to make a call and I immediately calmed down.

My love affair with my phone started out innocently, "I'll only use it only in emergencies" I said. My first phone was huge and bulky and after several years I traded it in for a sleek and thinner model. Two years later I turned that one in for one with a camera, a calculator, a to do list. It had all the bells and whistle that I thought I needed. Now there's a newer model that has a larger viewing window, a computer, I can download my favorite tunes to it! Next year it will be something else grander and more stylish.

Little did I know that I would become so attached! It's not that I have to use it every waking moment, but I do have to have it near me at all times. One day I used it to call my daughter who was downstairs and I was up!

Now she has one! and I have no one to blame but myself.
