Dork Gear

I just needed to get this off my chest.


Bluetooth is dorky. I am referring, most particularly, to the headset. I don't care who you are. If you're walking around with a Star Trek-reminiscent device permanently attached to your ear, you are a HUGE dork. Plus you look like a crazy person talking to yourself when you are actually talking on the phone. Why do you need to wear a phone all the time? I don't get it.


What is the difference between the teenager who can't seem to stop texting and the adult who has to wear a phone in his or her ear all the time? I won't answer here. I'm sure there are a milion clever answers out there. Care to contribute?


Please, for my sake, just say NO to Bluetooth headset. Or, at least, take it out of your ear when you are doing any of the following things:


1. Spending quality time with your family

2. Shopping. Anywhere. Anytime.

4. Not in the privacy of your home, office, etc.

3. NOT TALKING ON THE PHONE.


Thank you.

Bliss

My good friend recently celebrated her tenth wedding anniversary and posted on her blog her ten favorite memories during her marriage. Taking her cue, I will now present a list of 5 of my favorite things Jake has said during our marriage. Today is our 5th wedding anniversary.

This is just what is publishable. Here goes:

1. Wow, your jeans have gotten really tight in the butt. . . I guess that's one great side effect of having had two kids, huh?

2. If it's funny, it's ok. (The Rosses know what this means.)

3. Stop eating! (OK, so this is really me. I say this any time we share a dessert. Actually, we don't share desserts any more.)

4. Wow, we've been married ___ number of years. It feels like so much longer.

5. You did get kind of big. . . .(In reference to my first pregnancy.)

We have had 5 fun, funny, and eventful years.

Happy anniversary Jake! I love you!
