YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 WHEN

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 WHEN...

1. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

12. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

13. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

14. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to!!

    I had my camera on the night stand..that camera travels everywhere in this house..I am always taking pictures. Izabelle started showing Mattie how to life the covers up and then down..they were having so much fun! I grabbed the camera and took a few shots..it was early morning..so the lighting was really good:)

  3. Just popped by via Britgal Sarah's blog. I loved this list but groaned as I recognised so many of them.

  4. So great. You are right -- I am nodding, laughing and forwarding.

    Spouse and I will call each other when we are shopping separately to find out where the other one is. Also, he will call me from the den to ask me to bring him something from the kitchen!

  12. Very funny and a good chuckle fo rthe day. I don't know what I did before a cell phone and sometimes I would rather text or e-mail my friends than talk.

  13. So I guess I shouldn't admit that I call the kids on their cell phones from downstairs when I want them?
