Seduce: to win over; attract

Yarn seduces me with her siren call. "Pick me! Pick me!" I am hopelessly enchanted by yarn and am delighted by the endless choices.

Anyone have the time?

Back to subject of time.

Oh, you want to know how I'm doing with my new phone?  Well, I did learn how to text on it.  I had the darnest time finding how to pick a contact to send a new text message.  And then my wonderful husband found there is a microphone and I can speak my text.  The cute little phone will type it in and all I have to do is hit send!  Cool, huh?!

I've discovered a wealth of ring tones I can download to my phone.  Yep, what a time suck that can be, searching for just the right ring tone to assign a contact. (still an ongoing project)

I've downloaded Angry Birds.  Yep, I love that game.  (again, another vacuum of time)

I have not even begun to use this phone to it's full potential.  How much time did it take you to learn about your phone?  Did your kids show you how to use it?

So as you can see I haven't managed to find any extra hours in the day.  In fact, I think I lost a few more, hehe.

Yep, this new blogger update has me using knitting hours trying to figure out all the new stuff.  I'm not very happy it was a forced change.  We did not have a choice.  So back to figuring out all the new things about blogger!  :whine:

Finding Time

 "If time flies when you're having fun, it hits the afterburners when you don't think you're having enough."

On my quest to find more time, I have been side-tracked by the internet.  ?!!  Well, I guess there is one place we all lose time.

Can you remember a time when there was no internet?  Horrors!! no internet?!  What did we do?
I actually went to the library more, researched encyclopedias and other books.  I'm not saying we should do away with the internet, oh no!  I like google search and it has improved over the years.  It is so much faster to find things.  I am now in the hurry up and find it mode where before I enjoyed the quest search for information.

Speaking of hurry up and find it impatience, it is interesting how much patience I have for tinking back knitting and picking out stitching but not so much when it comes to the learning curve of a new phone.  Just show me!! and do it quick! so I can move on to the next thing I need to do at the speed of light!
(why yes, I did get a new phone)

When did we become such an instant gratification society?!  We need to stop and smell the roses.

p.s.
I'll be sitting here in my own little chair in my own little corner trying to learn something from the "Basics Guide" to my new phone.
:sigh:  I already have a headache
