Sloooowwww Learner

Okay, so I am a slow learner.  Well, not really I guess, I am just slow to change my habits.  Perhaps it is my aversion to change.  Not knowing what to expect when things are different than what I am used to. If I find a shirt that I like, I buy in it every color.  When we go out to dinner, I have that certain entree that I order at every restaurant. Is that why I am still using the same perfume and blush that I used when I was in college?  What's so funny is that whenever I do try something different, I usually find myself thinking, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"  Okay, so maybe I am a slow learner.

Last week I was attempting to call my friend on my cell phone, yes, it has texting, but I was driving and we all no that is a no-no.  (I have a son getting ready to take his permit test so I need to be sure to set a good example).  When I looked down at my phone (at the stoplight of course) I noticed the numbers looked goofy---they were in mirror image!  The call still went through, but suddenly my phone went black.  So needless to say, I couldn't text, I couldn't see who was calling me, and I couldn't see who I was calling unless I knew their number by heart, and who knows anyone's phone number anymore?

So on Monday, I went to the Sprint store and came home with this:

The HTC EVO 4G.

OMG!  Welcome to 2011.  This thing is so amazing!  I have my kids showing me all the things it can do.  TV?  On a phone?  And the apps, holy cow.  It is like the iPhone, only for Sprint.  The first app that B (my meteorologist in training) had me download was The Weather Channel, of course.  And then there is the Runkeeper App that will track how far, how fast, etc. you are running.  B also has me in serious training for Angry Birds.  Fun at your fingertips.  I know that most people have experienced this before, but like I said, slow learner.  Does this mean that I have to get rid of my Boombox?
