High tech Redneck

I don't know how it happened, maybe being married to an IT professional has finally rubbed off on me. But somehow I've turned into someone who used to just be ok with a computer and a flip phone into practically a full-fledged tech junkie.

In the past 6 months I have acquired:

1- A blackberry for work. Granted, this was not something I sought for myself but was given to me for work but I was happy to have it and knew how to use it.

2- An iPhone. Our contracts ran out on our blackberries (yeah, I had one for funsies) and we upgraded to the iPhone. Siri and I are good friends.

3- A Kindle. Ok, it's the base model, but yeah, I got one as a birthday present. So far I like it with only 2 minor complaints. a) I love being able to thumb back a few pages and reread but with the Kindle I haven't done that since I'm afraid I'll get lost. and b) I wish I had the option to back light it cause sometimes I want to read and E wants to go to sleep.

The ironic part is that while I have all these fancy gadgets, when it comes to keeping myself and my family organized, I still prefer the good old-fashioned paper day planner. Old habits can be hard to break.
