Gadgets galore
I decided not to do a meal plan this week. Sorry guys, I’ll do one next week. In the mean time enjoy a lovely little story about the chaos of the Gregg household
We have more gadgets than we know what to do with. I swear I woke up one morning and realized that somehow by osmosis I have become a geek. Don’t know how it happened but here we are, and I am not sure what to make of it. So, I decided to kind of take an inventory of all the techie gadgets we have. People, we may need an intervention. Computers, IPhones, iPods, hard drives, game stations, the Blackberry, the list goes on and on. I am attached to my iPhone. Literally, if it’s not in my hand it’s in my pocket. Don’t believe me. Here’s a look at the back pocket of my jeans.
Believe me now??? I don’t have a ring from my chewing tobacco, I HAVE A SQUARE THE SHAPE OF AN IPHONE ON MY BUTT!!!!! If the iPhone isn’t enough I have come to the realization that I can’t just watch TV. I have to have my laptop in my lap to watch TV. I don’t have to be doing anything on it, but it needs to be open so if I want to check my email, Facebook, twitter, blog, randomly Google something or email my husband who isn’t listening I can with speed and ease. A normal evening for us looks like this. Both of us on the couch with iPhones and blackberries within reach and both laptops open on our laps, watching the shows that we have recorded through the week. What is wrong with this picture? This is the other problem with tons of gadgets.
Chargers. When we travel we have to have a separate bag for our chargers. No, I’m not exaggerating. It’s almost funny to watch me unpack when we get to a hotel. I have to get all the chargers out, and put them in their designated spot. Phone chargers and docks by the bed (once again for fast checking of crack like websites or 3am texting and phone calls) and the computers get plugged in because I most likely ran the batteries down on the way to our destination. I’m sure with all of our gadget and my hair appliances we rack up quite and electric bill for the poor hotels we stay at.
We may need help soon.

Man, I’m glad Brandie and I aren’t the only ones who have to have laptop and cell phone in hand when watching DVR.
