OH NO! I'm addicted!

Ok, I admit it! I am addicted to my Blackberry! When I first bought it a few years back, I REFUSED to sign on to have internet access.

My reasoning was, I don't want to work when I'm not at work! I bought it because I liked the look...THAT'S IT!

Fast forward three months...I sign on to have unlimited texts...after all, it's the way my kids communicate, so I better get on board.

Fast forward three more months and I give in and get internet access. WOW! At first, my thoughts were, "Cool! This is handy". After a while, I would find myself looking forward to the blinking red light! "Is it a text? Is it an email?" Oooh! The suspense!

Fast forward to this morning:
I'm ironing my white blouse for work. I have added water and I am waiting for iron to heat up. I see it blink red AND I THINK TO MYSELF "I BETTER CHECK MY MESSAGE!"

I almost picked up the iron to CHECK MY MESSAGES!

I am soooo not making this up! It was at that point that I decided, I truly am addicted to my Blackberry!

None of the other tell-tale signs worked. Not the texting while at a red light. Not the replying to emails while having a conversation with a co worker. Not even when I was responding to a "TWEET" underneath the desk at an office meeting!

So, what's a crackberry addict to do? :-)

Thats why you have to have your coffee in the morning before you dabble with the CrackBerry.

Amanda - I have not gone to the point where I have added internet and email to my cell phone. I just feel that the screen is too small, and it operates too slow for me to really utilize.
