five miles uphill in the snow

Sh3rry mailed me this, and I thought it was too true to keep to myself.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when...
1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
Okay, the emoticon thing doesnt apply to me, but I'm forwarding this to everyone.

3. Guilty
4. We don't have enough money at my school for teachers to have computers, so that's not an issue.
6. My husband has done that.
7. Thank you, Tivo! We don't watch commercials.
8. Guilty, though I think women are more worried about this because of the whole rape possibility.
10. (should be 9) NOTHING COMES BEFORE COFFEE.

The DVR makes TV watching tolerable, though it really screws up my perspective on listening to the radio (I keep wanting to rewind - probably have to switch to podcast listening)
