...........
Fall is definitely about here. You wanna know how I know? Because I've been craving a cup of peppermint tea in the evening. Usually I only drink tea at night when it's cold out. Does that make me an "old soul"? Sometimes I find that I have a lot more in common with my elderly clients that I would have ever thought and it kind of concerns me a little. I never used to be such a creature of habit, but I've found as I get older that I'm really becoming quite set in my ways.
To add insult to injury with the reality of my aging, the other day I had to switch out my old faithful Palm Phone for a Blackberry and it made me feel SO old. I felt so not hip (as if I was ever hip) as the salesguy was explaining to me why digital voicemail is so great (if you don't have time to listen to your voicemails it's translated into text for you so you can just read it instead) and all of the great things I can do when I download the Facebook, Twitter and Flickr apps. Well, to be quite honest I could care less. I sit in front a computer all day long, why should I be so excited do these things on my tiny screen on the phone? That what I said in front of two of the salespeople and they looked at my like I was nuts, NUTS! I guess what's so great is that you have the option of doing these things.
Really though, I hate the thought of people being able to get a hold of me via email when I'm out on a date with my husband. It's true, I really DON"T want to be that accessible! I don't like the fact that I have no excuse to not know something because after all, I do have the internet on my phone and can just look it up in a second. I got this stupid blackberry so that I could keep my life organized....not so that I could surf the next 24/7.
Why does everyone seem to think that this is so insane? As I've talked to people they think I am so absolutely crazy for not wanting all of these great features on my phone. Sure, maybe I will use them once in awhile, but I will not be one of those annoying people that are unrecognizable without their phone in front of their face.
I feel like my grandpa for getting so annoyed with "young people these days" and the way the world and technology is changing so fast and I can't help but laugh at myself because I've become one of "THOSE" people that I used to make fun of.
Yes, the rumors are true....I'm not hip, cutting edge or technologically in the loop, I'm just old school Jenny.

You're lying! You are a non-old soul. If that's possible!
