If you want to read me on your smart phone, just use your barcode scanner to read this code and it will take you right to me!  How cool is that?

On a side note, I apologize for the lack of posts lately.  I have been going through some pretty big struggles, some because of me, and some because of others.  But I am going to do better.  I can’t let others choices affect how I view life. 

I told you that I got the new MyTouch from T-Mobile.  And how much I love it.  I love having the Internet at my fingertips.  I can look things up while I am out shopping, and I can get my email at a touch.
However, I find that I don't have time to read anymore because I am on my phone, either playing games or reading blogs or finding apps.  Where I used to take a book into the bathroom (yes, I read in the bathroom!), now I take my phone. 
I have to find a balance.  And soon.  Because I have that huge pile of books that I bought that are calling out to me! 
I am a very organized person.  I have to be.  I don't remember things!  I like to see things written down and I like to check things off.  I love lists.  I have lists for everything.  For all my lists, I have used a paper planner for years.  Specifically a Franklin Covey planner.

We're talking years here.  My first one was my senior year in high school.  And I still have all the pages from them.  I have no idea what I am going to do with them because I write in my journal every day, so what is the point?
And now that I have the MyTouch cell phone, it has the Google calendar in it, and I have a to do list app, and a shopping list app, and a notes app!  Plus spreadsheets!

I haven't used my paper planner since I got the phone.  I never, ever thought I would go electronic.  When people started using palm pilots, I hated them.  They just didn't have the functions that I needed.  But I have converted.  I love my phone, and I love having everything in one place.
However, it is frustrating sometimes because I can't type in it as fast as I can write something down.  So when we are at church and they are making the announcements, I am typing as fast as I can!  It's weird to bring my cell phone to church, and I am trying really hard not to update my Facebook status in the middle of Sacrament Meeting!
     
So if you see my "playing" on my phone in church, please know that I am either updating my calendar or reading my scriptures.  Because I have the scriptures on my phone too!  Whoo Hoo!
If you don't know, The Doctor and I do not ever buy new technology the first day it is out. Heck, we rarely buy it the first year it is out. We prefer to give it time to get the kinks out and let it come down in price.

However, that changed yesterday. I was the 3rd person at the T-Mobile store to buy not 1, but 2 My Touch G-3 phones. One in white and one in black.
They are so cool! I love having the internet on my phone. And the games...the free games! My kids want to play with them too! LOL And the music player! And Google calendar! And all the apps!
Hmmm, why am I sitting here blogging when I could be playing? Bye!
