Married to my SmartPhone Part 1.......................

By
Mortgage and Lending with Capitol Mortgage Corporation

The alarm is going off and it is 5am in the morning. I reach over to hit snooze and I cannot find the alarm. That is right I use my smart-phone as my alarm these days. It is sitting across the room on the dresser. I get up to go turn off the alarm and grab my honey. It is 5 am remember and my eyes have not even adjusted to the little light that is coming from my alarm.

Immediately upon turning off the alarm portion to the phone I go straight to my inbox to check my emails that have come between the time that I went to bed and waking up. Who the heck is emailing between these hours I do not know? (yes I do, the answer is the other smart-phone junkies that I associate with). After I check my email I am straight onto Facebook which is an awesome application on my Iphone.

By this time my wife is starting to stir and she is reaching to find her phone so she can do the same thing. We proceed to go down the stairs and start the coffee and we have yet to say good morning to each other. Our other spouse listens and follows our every command so we will deal with them first:) After the coffee is made we take a moment to put down the phone.

The Bell rings and I am quickly back in to the intimate relationship with my phone. Marlet Alert has sent me a text message to let me know if I am going into the office to higher rates or lower rates. I close the window and go back to the inbox to check on the status of my emails and my friends on Facebook. Nothing new so I decide quickly to check my schedule for the day. I have three apoointments and I want to make sure that I prepare as soon as I get to the office.

I ask my wife (the human one) what we might be having for breakfast and I see that she is on her phone looking up recipes.....................................this is just the morning edition of married to my smartphone.

Stay tuned to see how the day progresses.....PS-I will text you when part 2 comes out,

Kathleen - My wife and I have a great relationship. This blog was more a spoof on society as I commonly watch people glued to their phone and paying little attention to their friends.

Jessica - everyone seems to conform at some point.
