Thirteen Reasons I NEED A Cell Phone
This is a post from the road. I'm in Fort Bragg California in an internet cafe, hoping I'll have time to post this before my children dismantle the place. Wish me luck.I couldn't pass on my Thursday Thirteen though. So, here's thirteen reasons I need a cell phone.
1. Pay Bills
When I'm on the road, the bill still need to get paid. Thank goodness most of them will let me pay by phone.
2. Crystal
Since I have no internet access, Crystal is my saving grace. She posts for me, checks email and so on. SHE ROCKS.
3. Three way calling
As many of you know, I talk to my writer friend Dayna every day. Without a cell phone, there would be no way to talk to her. But Crystal again saves the day by three way calling. Dayna can't call my cell phone (and vice versa) so a cell phone is awesome.
4. Anyone can reach me anytime.
Well, provided my battery doesn't die or I remember the darn thing.
5. No Telemarketers
I love this. I don't get those weird calls at 8:45pm that want to sell me a mortgage or something.
6. Caller I.D.
What did I do before this? How else can one avoid telemarketers or "others" (I'm not saying a word.)
7. The redneck and I talk free.
Because we have the same plan, we can talk every night when he's out of town and it doesn't cost us a thing. Well, except the cell phone bill every month.
8. Michelle
My best friend keeps me sane everyday all the time. Oh, and SHE'S got the same plan too. It's all free. Good thing, since we talk two or three times a day.
9. I can make calls when I forget something.
Has this ever happened to you? You fly out the door and then whammo! You remember that you needed to call the kid's school, or that friend, or that business. My cell phone means that memory loss is more tolerable.
10. Phone numbers
Often, I forget to bring along my address book that has my important phone numbers in it (like this week. grrrrr). With a cell phone, I have the numbers built right in.
11. Information
I often find myself desperately searching for a park to take the kids to or (like this week) a place that has a computer and internet access. With my phone, I get to call and find it. 411 baby. It's extra but worth it.
12. When in the Boonies, I don't feel cut off
As I watched with trepidation, my battery began to die. I felt as if I was watching my lifeline to the rest of the world fading away. Ah, the drama.
13. I don't read Stephen King
So I don't believe that cell phone use will make me crazy. Don't worry. I haven't read the book, just in case. Michelle of course gave me a blow by blow. We've decided that it's worth it.
