I have an addiction.....

Source

My name is Peggy and I am an addict....

Yup, it's true - I am one of those people who is hopelessly,

helplessly addicted to their Blackberry.  I'm not proud of it but

it's time to come clean.  If you, like me, can answer "yes" to

any of these questions - you too might be an addict:

1.  Do you roll out of bed and grab your phone to check

for overnight messages? (now really -

who's texting you at night?)

2.  Have you ever taken your phone into the bathroom

with you?  (c'mon admit it you have - haven't you?)

3.  Have you found yourself gazing into the eyes of your

friend or loved one while they are talking to you and you

aren't hearing a word they are saying because

 you are wondering if you have any new messages?

4.  Do you return texts and emails within mere

moments of receiving them?

5.  Have you ever texted someone in the same house or

office because it was easier than getting up to find them?

6.  Do you need your phone to be visible at all times so

you can see or hear the telling alert that a message

has arrived?

Now I'm not saying that I could say "yes" to all of these

and I am going to leave you to wonder which ones I really

am guilty of.  I only know that the darn little Blackberry

does NOT own me.....I own it (er, really, I am sure I do)

and I will not in 2012 let that nasty little piece of techno

hardware rule my world. 

Oh, by the way - check out this cute little snuggly I got

the little gaffer.....

that is after I wrapped it

up in this pretty, blingly little "skin".....

But wait, there is hope - you, like me, can control it.....

turn it off, turn it upside down,

mute the tone that tells you there's a message and get

on with life.....nothing, truly nothing is more important

than this day!

I will if you will.......
