My kids are beyond excited, my friends are relieved and I am sure once I learn how to use it I'll be happy I have it ................if I remember what it can do.
You see, a few weeks ago I was running with Glenn's iphone so I could listen to Pandora. About halfway through my run I heard a call come in. Oh no, it was a client of Glenn's & what if it was important? If only there was a way to get a hold of him and let him know. I was nearing an intersection where I might come across a fellow runner, a kid on their way to school or a car stopped at the light. Surely they wouldn't mind letting me borrow their phone to make a quick call.
What to do, what to do, if only I had a way to get a hold of him. I am picking up my pace nearing the intersection when all of a sudden it dawns on me that I could use my Pandora thing-y to call him. Brilliant.
This may take a while.
You certainly dove into the mire, Marie! From no phone to the big game!! They look so complicated to me, so I wish you good luck and hope I can learn something from you! I think today is your doctor's appt. Hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteYou are the sweetest ever, you're right! It is today and I couldn't be more excited to get some relief. And yes, wish me luck with the phone, I've pretty much ignored it but know eventually I'll learn to use it. I basically told Emry to get familiar with it and just give me the cliff notes version. I don't do well with technology.
DeleteYAY i listen to Pandora all day at work and then when I run! You will get the hang of it!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a couple months after I got my iPhone this year, but now I love it. Not gonna say I couldn't live without, but it sure does make life easier sometimes.
ReplyDeleteA couple tips for you. First - download instagram. Second - find sarahkate11. :o)
You will get it down. Did for me but now I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteoh I forgot, get the Nike+ Running app, pretty sure its free. Its awsome, if you do download instagram find me - ashleychilders
ReplyDeleteOkay, take a deep breath, collect your thoughts and remain calm. YOU GOT A PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMarie, just take it one step at a time. First just get use to calling people with it and adding them to your contact list. Take pictures with it here and there, this sort of thing. Trust me this phone, the app features, are so easy to use. You will love it in a few months, trust. What I love are the scriptures, for the built in light I can read in bed at night. I don't use it at church though, that's just me.
I love the ease of taking pictures and fun features like instagram. So much more, but won't go into it. You'll see for yourself.
You are cracking me up. You're killing me Marie. I could see myself doing the same thing. Welcome to the 21st century!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you,
Shauna xoxoxoxxo
Actually, this is breaking news
ReplyDeletea. You should have titled your blog this and
b. You should have called me on the phone,
for Pete's Sake.....
Love Forever...

Haha, welcome to the world of technology! You'll have a blast with it! And danggit, I'm still trying to figure out everything my phone can do, too. And everyone makes fun of me for having an iphone AND an ipod. I realize I could condense, I just don't wanna!
ReplyDeleteNice phone! Gee now I feel old that I have no clue how to use one of those smartphones. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quickly ^^
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!! And that phone...love the color! Perfect for you...all kinds of warm!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so funny. I love my Iphone and I'm sure you will love yours too.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hoot--and I'm jealous! This is a great phone, I hear!!
ReplyDeletehaha o man. YOu really just jumped to it too by going with the iphone. Pandora is still the only app I have!
ReplyDeleteOh there was no jumping, I was pushed. But I appreciate it and I am sure it will come in very handy.
DeleteI am sticking with my low tech phone for as long as it lasts.
ReplyDeleteAre you back to running? Are your knees better?
ReplyDeleteYes & yes, thanks. I had my first infusion last week and as expected it worked like a charm. I have another treatment in 2 weeks and then I can wait every 8 weeks between appts. I love modern medicine.
DeleteYea!
DeleteEnjoy! My husband had to drag me, kicking and screaming, into the world of smartphones. Now? I love it!
ReplyDeleteNice!! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I LOVE your reaction...and you're right, once you learn how to use the phone it's going to become a major addiction!
ReplyDeletehahahaha. i've got the iphone one step below yours, and i love it. don't worry about all it can do -- i still don't know! just get the kids to help you figure out 2 or 3 fun things you want on it. i'm sure you'll have a blast. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe kids are chomping at the bit to get at it. I really don't know how to do a lot on it but I am sure my 12 year old can teach me. Apparently kids are born knowing all this stuff now.
DeleteYou are so funny with your Pandora story! I have a smartphone, but I haven't figured out how to put Pandora on it. I need to - I'm sure it's as simple as searching the Google Play store (android phone).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new phone!
You will be head over heels with that thing by Christmas! I think you're lucky he didn't like it so you could have it!
ReplyDeleteAli tried to throw his iPhone 5 at me too! How interesting. I think Ali was very unimpressed with the maps, which apparently is a deal breaker for him? Too funny.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I think you will end up loving it Marie!
You crack me up with your technology problems! But I laugh because I can totally relate! But once you get the hang of it, it will be like your personal magic wand. I LOVE my i4s
ReplyDeleteI love the using the phone (for it's original purpose) didn't readily cross your mind!
ReplyDeleteLove that you are running again (I won't comment any further on that :)!
