I tell myself that it's a necessary component for my job, so that I can check work emails, etc., but I'm more often surfing Etsy or Facebook!Inder-ifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724667602427496583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-21246407649033989932013-08-21T20:17:19.202-04:002013-08-21T20:17:19.202-04:00Yay for lovely pictures!

Instagram is probably my favorite social networky thing right now. I kinda hate FB and I never "catch up" on Twitter, but somehow IG is just right... :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406909491823466233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-88069696836681075572013-08-21T10:11:00.003-04:002013-08-21T10:11:00.003-04:00Those slippers!

They're very handy, especially since I work out in the field without access to an office or computer very often, but I'm still not a huge fan because the boundaries between work and home are basically nonexistent now. I get calls, texts, and emails all day and night (not an exaggeration). On the other hand, all of my family is out of state, so it's fun to watch videos of my nephew that my sister takes on her camera phone. I guess it's a tradeoff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-38250235765328971482013-08-21T10:06:20.870-04:002013-08-21T10:06:20.870-04:00I'm glad I wasn't the only holdout.

I think flip phones and candy bars are actually much better as PHONES (I had a Samsung Convoy that was super rugged and never lost a battery charge) but the camera thing was a tipping point for me personally.Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-75294485771036161232013-08-21T07:13:33.345-04:002013-08-21T07:13:33.345-04:00No smartphone for me either...yet.
