Tulu, Texting, Technology, My Tour, And Some Tofu

Today's letter is T.

I love technology. I love it so much. I love my IPod, I love dvring tv shows, I love my laptop, I love my new Blackberry Tour and I love being able to be walking around Trader Joes in Devon, Pennsylvania and e mailing back and forth with my best friend who lives in Istanbul, Turkey.

Speaking of who, was in the foreign edition of InStyle and her store Tulu and her apartment were featured. To see this totally cool pix...just look HERE.

I remember years ago when cell phones first came out. Well, even before that the Charlie's Angel's girls had a "car phone," and it totally was a phone in a car with a curly cord and all. Anything those angels did was cool too. Except for Bree. I don't know why they always dressed her in the dorky clothes and made her be the school marm type. Why is it called school marm Twisty? You should know. You used to teach at a school before you decided to go all rogue.

Anyway, after that, those phones in bags came out. It was like a briefcase. You thought that all the guys that carried them were probably drug dealers. Come to think of it...

Then the big flipper phones were here. I had one of those. I don't remember using it that much but I liked it. I like the idea of it. It still hadn't become a part of my everyday life though. That was in about 93, 94? Right? Then slowly but surely phones kept getting more popular to have. Now they are so a part of our everyday life I can't imagine what we would do with out them. I got a new one the other day. I'm almost embarrassed of my great love for it. Almost. It has apps.  I had no idea what this meant when my kids would talk about them. I just didn't get it. Now I have the coolest DaVinci screen saver and my little buttons are super fun. This is something I like.

So I think the next thing they will have to fix is the whole txting and driving issue. Did you see Seven Pounds? I only cried for a week after that tear jerker. God. So I think someone smart (like you) should invent a phone that you can talk into but spells out the words like txts. And then the person on the recieving end can read it or listen to it in their choice of voices. Just like the navigation system. I like the English guy cause he says "round about." I also like that Boulder guy's voice. He speaks midwestern.

I think I'm done. Oh, except for that Tofu.  I went to Trader Joe's and got tofu and cooked it and then played Texas Hold'em with my kids. That's a whole other story though. I've rambled long enough. It's time to go watch Desperate Housewives with my Ten year old son.
