There’s a what for what?

I have to be honest, for months I resisted. I was comfortable with what I had and didn’t see why I needed to change my ways.

My husband made fun of me until he couldn’t stand it any longer. He bought me anew phone for my birthday over three months ago. Not just any phone, but an Apple iPhone.

I relented and accepted the sleekness of it all, albeit a little larger than my old trusty LG frame, complete with a Paul Frank silicone cover.

Then I started downloading applications for the phone. They aren’t kidding when they say “there’s an app for that”!

A gift card was received to buy them and I’ve yet to use it. There are tons of free ones and I am slowly but surely adding them in my phone.

Oh yeah...it’s a phone! You can use it to call people and text them as well!

But now.... I can check my Facebook account, surf the internet and find out my mood by simply touching the screen.

My son suggested a Scrabble® type game and I can change my voice. My favorite college is there (go Horns) and I now have current photos of my children thanks to the photo album. I can listen to music and calculate or check to see if a painting is level and then manage my calendar.

If I get lost, there’s a compass. All at my fingertips.

The way I see it, my free time is now filled with all these addicting games, etc. 12-step program? Yep, there’s an app for that as well. That’s the way I see it, let me know your view – email me at selizondo@pleasantonexpress.com, or write at P.O. Drawer 880, Pleasanton, Tx 78064.
