Halle, Halle Blackberry

I went out Friday night with a group of friends.  While I was out having fun I misplaced my blackberry.  When I woke up on Saturday I was panic stricken that I could not find my phone.  I realized that it was a bit absurd to be SOOOOO upset, but my blackberry makes me feel like I have a little bit of control over my life even though a lot of what I have to do is determined by my four kids and my job.  Having my blackberry allows me to keep on top of my email and be reachable if my kids need me.  Ok, honestly I also get to SOCIALIZE if I have it and apparently I am a social being.  I get to check my facebook and I get to email with friends throughout the day even if I have to drive three hours to get my kids to and from school (of course not when I am actually driving) or whatever other inane things I need to be doing...When I stayed home with my kids I used to talk on the phone nonstop.  I don't like talking on the phone anymore, but I do like texting, emailing, facebooking about my life, reading the responses and keeping connected with what is going on in my friends' lives.  When I am having a good or bad day I like putting it out there and receiving the reactions - they often make me laugh and make it easier for me to move through the day.
I was a bit perplexed about how out of sorts I felt without it.  I was slightly shocked that I replaced it within 24 hours (albeit with a preowned one) and that it was in my hands by Monday at 6 (SIGH HAPPILY).  I now have insurance on my blackberry....7 bucks a month, but I realize now having insurance gives me peace of mind.  I am not sure how I feel about an object having that much importance in my life, but I am embracing the reality of it.  She is important to me and SO I am naming her.  I posted about the need for a name on facebook and my friends and I have determined that she shall be christened Halle, Halle Blackberry.  I hope we have a long and fruitful relationship....and if you need to judge me for it - oh well.  When I start naming my clothing - I will be worried and seek intervention...promise.
