Intermission (subtitle: I'm Naked)
I'm taking a quick break from my 3 part book review (mostly cause my name is still on the waiting list at the library for Dispatches From the Edge). I just went to Oklahoma this weekend to visit some friends and had a blast. Still processing some of the trip overall, but I definitely enjoyed myself immensely. Anyways, I flew myself (and a couple of friends) so of course we were able to take water, pocket knives, and chapstick and flew in and out of small airports so we didn't have to worry about lines, security, check-in etc. That was fabulous.
Ok.....the real point of my blog: I am now back in Colorado and my cell phone is not. In fact it is sitting in my friend's guest bedroom as I type this. I feel naked. I feel as though something very valuable has been lost and my life will not return to normal until I retrieve it. I was joking with my friend and said that I would have guessed that I'd be more likely to leave my wallet behind, or leave without a shirt on or something. Ten years ago my daily life in no way hinged on a phone. Now for some reason I think that I'm going to have multiple 9-1-1 worthy emergencies in the next 24 hours and no way to report them. Technology is genious. It creates an illusion of dependency that previously did not exist, and then walks to the bank when the masses blindly oblige.
One of my biggest fears without a cell phone was that I would sleep till noon and feel grogy the rest of the day since my phone also doubles as my alarm clock. Turns out I actually got up an hour earlier naturally than I did with the phone and alarm. Interesting.

Nice title. ;)
Actually, I was just reading an article this morning about how nudity could make air travel safer and more interesting.
oh brother
I was actually just thinking that... wait. Hmmm.
Sorry. I lost my train of thought. It's hard to concentrate when you're reading a naked woman's blog.
I agree.
