They Don't Call It Crackberry For Nothing!

Hey y'all

It's official....

I have succumbed-- at Brad's urging I must add--and am now the proud slave to my very own Blackberry Storm.
It's been fun learning to use it on my own. I have to take time to do the Blackberry 101 thing this weekend so I can know what to do with all the bells and whistles on it. I wonder if I can have it make my tea?*grin*


Of course I'll be incredibly grateful to have this contact with the outside world as I am surviving the Lord of The Rings marathon which we will attend on Saturday. It's something like 13 frickin hours of movies, people! I've turned down this invitation each year with the line "I'm a geek but I'm not that big of a geek". Hmmm I guess the worm has turned;-) So anyway --when you see me updating Facebook or possibly on Twitter (do I dare?) please be gentle.


*****************

Brad has posted a small update about ConFab, Baby. Email me if you need more specifics regarding hotels or if you have a 'punch' recipe you'd like to share. June 13 will be here before we know it.

Smooches and some blackberry stained gropes babies.

And WHY will we be attending the Lord of the Rings party? Once again, due to my influence.

I got a Storm too, ya know. You could have mentioned that!

I want my jade back!

Dana said...

It's a sad day ... a very sad day ...

I'll be in San Antonio for my niece's graduation the week of ConFab. WAHHHHHH!

Matt-Man said...

Having converted to becoming Amish, I have no worries or desire for those evil electronic devices. Cheers TB!!

DutchBitch said...

I hosted a Lord of The Rings marathon at my place 2 years ago. It was fun! We did pot luck and had snacks and meals in between the movies! You'll live!!! LOL

and ehm... how is Brad doing on getting the hang of HIS Crackberry... I heard rumors that he already put it in front of his car and drove over it multiple times... heh...

hello haha narf said...

enjoy your new phone!

where is this lotr marathon? your home or a theater or somewhere else?

Avitable said...

Hahahaha! If I had to sit through those horrible, shitty movies all at once, I'd probably slit my wrists. Good luck!

Turnbaby said...

Brad: yes baby, you are why we will be spending the first GORGEOUS day of this year inside--- watching LOTR. I was gonna mention your phone but I needed to make sure you had not killed it yet. I need the jade!!


Dana: BOOOOOOOOO. Now what am I gonna do with all those Thin Mint and soft-serve???

Matty: You can't be Amish--they eat meat.


Dutchy: Then there's hope! he's 'adjusting'*giggling*

Hello: It's at a friend's house. There will be beer and lots of it.

Avitable: I'm a stronger man than you Gunga Din.

One doest not merely survive the LOTR movie marathon...one submerges oneself in the epic fantasy of it.

I am a hopeless LOTR geek.

Desert Songbird said...

I've got a crackberry Pearl, and hubby has a crackberry Curve; I think we're both getting the Storm in April. Yahoo! Can't wait!!! Between my crackberry and my iPod touch I'm in geek heaven...

Turnbaby said...

Trav: I have a level 37 Blood Elf Rogue in WoW and a Crackberry and have now started a food blog so I have my geek street cred but not LOTR--I haven't even read the books.

Songbird: you will LOVE the Storm! I am now tasked with getting the Touch up to speed. I have to upload some music to my iTunes so I'll have something to play on it.

I have not yet succumbed, but I would choose a Blackberry over an iPod any day. Enjoy!
I will be emailing you... :D

Bond said...

I have the Crackberry Curve and that is enough for me...I will let you know in the next couple of days about confab...that conflict is raising it's fugly head...

I expect immediate responses to my emails now!

Bond said...

Food blog??? where????

Not a LOTR fan... but you enjoy

BeckEye said...

I will never get one of those. I hate talking on the phone and I hate texting. I love email, but I could never be bothered to type a whole email on teeny tiny keys.

OT - Simon dissed your man Taylor last night. You were the first person who popped into my head!

Lynda said...

Having WiFi on my iPod almost makes me wish I got the iPhone. Except, I'm on Verizon...so I guess it would have to be the Crackberry for me.

Cheesy said...

Purdy phone!

I still am not sure on con-fab...my whole travel future is in the hands of the orthopedic surgeon.. bastard~

alphawoman said...

I would love to come and meet you all!! If I did it would be the first time! After nearly six years of on line journaling!! Anyway, I may be living in Memphis and not Jeffersonville in June, but I think it would be a blast. I don't know a soul, but that never kept me from any thing before.

Meribah said...

Oooo, the Crackberry! I mean, the Blackberry! Those are some cool lookin' gadgets all right. Have fun with your new addiction! :P

BlondeBlogger said...

Ooooh, I want one SO bad!! *jealous*

Sarcastica said...

I love my crackberry, and cannot live without it!

So now that you're a few weeks in, how do you like it?
