I-Phone Addict

I had to get a new I-Phone recently because they don't make these beautiful little gadgets drop proof, toilet proof, or just plain ol' klutz proof. It's annoying because I-Phones are not cheap and I think that if you spend money on something it should last as long as you want said product...I don't think that's too much to ask. Having my phone out of commission for a day has made me come to the realization that I am totally addicted to my phone and can in no way live without it! It's so bad that I actually made myself physically ill stressing about my phone the day it broke. I had to call in sick the next day for both sickness and because it took me a whole day to get my phone back to what I wanted it to be. Now I'm sure some of you are thinking "Wow! Your a nutter!", but I say nay! I may be addicted to my wondrous little phone, but I have good reasons...and here they are:

1. Contacts- Since we live in a day and age where you don't ever have to actually dial a number, I have no clue what anyone's number is without my phone...excluding my parents (because that number has never changed) and my sister Becky's. I wouldn't even be able to call my boyfriend of almost 2 years without my contact list! Not texting or calling him a few million times a day would be tragic indeed!

2. Calendar- My memory has never been very good. I write down everything that I'm supposed to be doing or want to be doing with my friends, family, church, concerts, dentist, etc. into my phone. If I lost that calendar I would probably become a hermit, because I wouldn't know what activity I was supposed to be doing and would just give up on life.

3. Lists- I have a handy lil notebook on my phone that I make lists on. I have lists of the 300 workout I need to do to look good, movies I own (which I would totally be buying duplicates without this list), songs I want to download, present ideas to buy Scott, plus like 10 other necessary lists. Lists are necessary to an overly organized girl!

4. WW Calorie Counter- I put in my food and it tells me how much I can eat that day...it's handy and it's helped me lose 15 pounds. I would probably be a fatty without this app on my I-Phone, and nobody wants that because then I would be cranky.

5. Maps- I have a handy app on my phone that helps me find any store, bank, building, or whatever I want and whats closest to me. It helps find movie theaters and whats playing. Restaurants, that I just put in what genre I'm in the mood for and pulls up a list! It's like I'm a superhero with this app! I can find anything anywhere!!

6. Weather- Since I don't watch TV, this app is handy for me to know if I need an umbrella walking to work the next day...or if I need to wear my snowboots...or if I need to know what the weather will be in a city I plan on going to visit. If you break it down this is that app that helps me get dressed for what the day will bring me.

7. Staying Connected- I can get onto Facebook, Twitter, Texts, IM, Internet, YouTube & GMail from my phone. I can stay connected to the universe with a push of a button!! Now that's legendary!

8. Pictures- I can capture any awesome moment at any time and make it into a fun artsy looking picture right from phone! Unless the pic requires a flash...than I'm out of luck there, but someday my friend, my I-Phone will be able to flash!

9. Shazam- Oh, you don't know what that song is?! Well let me push this handy button that will read the song and send a signal to space that lets me know what that song is! AMAZING!

10. Games- There is no such thing as boredom when you have a plethora of fun, mind boggling games at your fingertips!

11. Christmas- Wondering how long it is till next Christmas?? No problem! I have an app that count's it down...a truly glorious thing!

**Sigh** I love you I-Phone! :-)
