IPhone Fun!

Oh God. . . this is such a cool piece of technology!

Best part about it for me. . . . I can get in touch with my boys almost instantaneously.

I'm in DC for my audition tonight.   If I don't make the choir this year, I will have to completely reinvent this year.  Which I am willing to do!  On the other hand they have already called and asked me to be section leader.  Hope I don't blow it!

So. . . I had lunch with Chad at Wegman's in Fairfax. . . all arranged by text messaging!   We had a blast.  I had sushi. .. of course.   Chad showed me a new "app" called Hey Tell.  You can download it for free.  Then if you prearrange it with your contacts, you can then record your voice sending a short message through the phone line.  Then the person gets notification, and checks it just like you would check a text.  But they hear your voice.   And the best part  is. . .it's free.  Doesn't count towards messaging minutes.   Very cool.  Who knew????

Also. .  as I was preparing to leave this morning, I was thinking about a former teacher friend I need to get in touch with up here.  So my old-school brain was hoping I could find a phone book once I got up here.  But then I got on my IPhone, downloaded the free white pages app, then looked up my friend, then put her number into my contacts.  I'm going to call her the minute I finish here!

I'm still planning to not be connected all the time.  Wish me luck.   Now I'm going to go study my Mindfulness book until I no doubt fall asleep - not that it's not interesting.   I could be reading anything in the middle of the afternoon and fall asleep.  It's just how it is.

Home tomorrow, stopping in Stafford to pick up my new Mac Air, which is only available at the Stafford Best Buy. . having sold out everywhere else in the state!  Glad Stafford is on my way home!   Then I can trash my laptop once and for all.  I'm writing this from Dave's!    It will be good to be completely hooked up!
