For Granted!

I never asked myself the question, "what would I do without a cell phone for over a week?" Or "How would I manage without my car radio?" Well I was without one of them for over a week , and still without the second one. I lost my phone on 2/21. And I just got a new one last weekend. And I must add it feels soooo good to have a phone again.

Not owning a cell phone in today's world is extremely hard! Or is it? Maybe it's just what society has made it to be, or I should say the phone industry. I found my self at one point having to use a pay phone, and that was only because it was an extremely important call. It was so weird to see if I had enough change to make the call. It's been years since I had to use a pay phone, that is just unheard of these days.

Well I honestly felt naked without a phone. Last month my battery went dead because I left my lights on. And ever since then my car stereo does not work. I don't have anything to listen to while I'm driving, and nothing to listen to on my way to work. It's just me and my thoughts! How scarrrryyyy! I just can't seem to get use to it. I don't look forward to my 25 minute drive to work!

On weekends I use my Dad's car, ONLY to have something to listen to. I refuse to have the radio system looked at because in less than 11 weeks I will be getting rid of my good ol' Ford. I know, cheap, but I have other priorities on my list. I get so excited to hear some good beats on the radio, I miss them so much. Just last night, I took my Dad's car to go to the gym and an awesome song from the Beastie Boys was playing on KROQ, ohhhhhhhhh man I was so happy. I always enjoy some good ol' Beastie Boys. :) Don't know where we would be without music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Point being we take so many things for granted, it's not even funny.
