The UNGLUEING

In this day and age most people are glued to their cell phones sending their tweets, checking e-mail and always current. My glue seems to have come unglued and surprisingly I think it's ok. The first instance of this "unglueing" if you will was a little bit stressful...I was going to meet a friend and I was running late, I wasn't exactly sure I knew where she was and oh my gosh where is my cell phone! I looked high and low and couldn't find the silly thing, it was so reclusive.

Instance 2 was this weekend...I went on a truly amazing retreat - but cell phones weren't allowed. So Friday night I turned off my phone and put it in my car, somewhere, not really sure where...oh my gosh where in the world is my cell phone!!! At first I was a bit disturbed, I can be honest about this...I looked high and low, tossed random stuff that currently resides in my back seat around...the Cubs Christmas hat (you never know when you might need that), a few pairs of work pants...you know the norm. The phone was nowhere! So I started to drive, and I continued to search, in my purse, my backpack - nada. Oh well I'll just let it go. At some point I completely forgot that my phone was missing, how I can't figure, but I just didn't care. I realized again that my phone was missing at about 9:30pm - 6.5 hours after this search began...so it began again...I rustled through everything and there was no phone. I sat down in my car, sighed, looked over and there it was - IN THE CUP HOLDER! You've got to be kidding me, the cup holder, 6.5 hours and it was in the cup holder!!!
