running: the dawn

new toy

on September 19, 2011

So, I couldn’t be more excited….just over a week ago Mr. Dawn surprised me with…drumroll…a new Droid 3!!!!  Yes, I have finally graduated from a text/talk phone to a phone that can do ALL kinds of fun stuff.

so pretty!

Oh but wait!  Ok, so remember back when I quit Facebook?  I must admit I truly enjoyed my break from being so “plugged in”.  But now that I am living in a new area, meeting new people all the time, I’ve gotten tired of saying, “Oh no, I don’t have a Facebook, but here’s my phone number.”  Apparently Facebook is the easiest way for new acquaintances to get in touch.  But the final blow?  In church the other day after the service, I was talking to some new friends and the conversation turned to running and we all discovered that we are TOTAL running junkies.  We decided that we needed to start a casual running club.  Of course someone suggested that we start a group on Facebook and that way we can stay in touch and share about our races and/or training.  So, I’m back on.  Maybe I’m just caving in to peer pressure….but it does feel good to be back.

And now, of course, I’m playing a million Words with Friends games…

There’s just one last little piece of my new techno-savvy lifestyle.  I joined Twitter!  Ok, so I still have a million things to learn.  I’m still a little scared of hash tags and “re-tweeting” things…but I’m getting there.  Anyone have any advice for a new tweat-er?

  5. Enjoy the new phone! I have some version of the droid (I have no idea which one), and though I totally underutilize it, it’s definitely been nice to have.

    Do you like the attached keyboard? Mine has one, too, but I always end up using the touchscreen.
