Life Before The iPhone

I love to travel.

Well, actually I like to visit new places, and sleep in hotels (yay for free breakfast, a pool and maid service!) and visit family in other states. I don’t so much like the actual travelling to get there. In fact, I rarely stay awake when travelling in a car, but if I am awake, I usually play Words With Friends or nose around on the Facebook.

McDaddy told his sister a few days ago that travelling with me – pre iPhone - was not fun.

This was a shock to me because really, I thought anything with me was fun.

It got me to thinking about my life pre iPhone, and it dawned on me that sadly, I can barely remember what life was like pre iPhone. And then I thought, why would I want to?

Before the iPhone….

• I didn’t spend nearly the amount of time in the bathroom as I do now.
• I used a pocket calendar to record every single appointment and rarely missed one.
• I never worried about leaving home without a cell phone charger in my purse.
• I had no idea RAJ, TAJ and HAJ were “words.”
• I had to carry a camera if I wanted to take a picture.
• I checked my e-mail once a day. In the evening.
• Same with Facebook.
• The only notes I wrote were on a notepad.
• I depended on the news to deliver the weather report.
• I purchased CDs.
• I sometimes forgot to set my alarm clock.
• I used a cell phone to call people. Period.
• The only time I listened to KLOVE was in the car.
• If I wanted to do price comparison I had to drive to different stores.

Somewhere McDaddy is rolling his eyes while reading this on his iTouch.

And smiling because I’m probably beside of him on my iPhone.
