Ever since my in-laws gave us a GPS last Christmas, my husband and I pretty much don’t need to think about anything. I mean everything else was already automated. Appointments, reminders, calendars, shopping lists are sent automatically by email or text. We watch whatever the DVR tells us to records. All of our bills are debited from our bank account, and our income deposited automatically. We don’t even need to try to keep in touch with our friends, because we “see” them on Facebook and…
I considered taking some extreme measures to ensure that I don’t spend my summer doing housework, because I’d rather be at the beach. After finding a particularly over-whelming mountain of dirty clothes next to the washer, I announced to the family that we were joining a nudist colony. I figured that would really cut down on laundry. The baby didn’t care, and my five year old, who can be found running around the house sans clothing at any hour of the day, was all for…

Have you ever chatted online via Twitter, Facebook etc. with your partner while you were in the same house? Even the same room? 2. When the baby starts to cry do you hand her your iPhone instead of a pacifier? 3. When your kid has a question instead of saying, “I don’t know, ask you…
Do you ever need to do the math to remember how old you are? For me it started after 30. Um, let’s see…. 2010 — 1975 — carry the 1… 35. Wait, no I was born in May. 34. Still 34. I always do the math now, because I spent an entire year telling people I was 32 when I was really only 31. Sometimes the math is shocking. It’s 17 years this spring since I graduated from high school. I’m closing in on the…
