It's So Shiny!

I've never been a gadget girl. In fact, the husband often accuses me of being something of a luddite. Others accuse me of having married the husband in order to ensure that I would always have someone around capable of hooking up the DVD player (to whom I reply that is just an added bonus, thank you very much!). The only new toy that appeared within the last decade or so that really intrigued me was TiVo... and even that didn't enter my life until the husband bought it for me as a birthday gift a few years back, presenting it with the exclamation, "You can store all the Degrassi you want!!!" (It was great.)

So can someone explain to me why, as soon as I saw the husband's RAZR, I simply had to have one? I mean, up until now, I've owned exactly two cell phones in seven years - the first was selected because it was among the cheapest options Sprint offered; the second was selected four years later considering similar criteria, only after I dropped its predecessor one too many times and was, alas, unable to Krazy Glue it back together again (it was tragic in its Humpty-Dumptyness). I've never felt the need to partake in any activities with my phone other than... well, phone calls.

And yet, when the husband was given this new phone for work purposes, I just couldn't stop playing with it! It's so pretty! So little! So multi-tasking! Anyway, after a particularly crabby morning today, I finally bit the bullet and made my way over to Verizon during lunch. And I've been taking photos and texting all afternoon. And it's so shiny!!!
