Barbie turns 50 and finally looks like this. It’s about time this happened to her….
We just received this as an email from a friend and thought it was funny enough to share. Sorry to the original author; we have no idea who to credit. Tell us, how many of these describe you?
1. You accidentally enter your password 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 3.
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 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.

I love it. Priceless picture!
I am guilty of #2, #6, and #10…….. and all the others.
I am just lovin this pic of Barbie. The double chin crack me up.
I’d like to add that you know you are living in 2010 when you go to bed at night with “Internet” or “Blogging hand.” Your hand that holds the mouse in colder than your other. Apparently clicking and scrolling does not generate a lot of heat.
Barbie, I love the new look!
I am guilty of #3,5 & 6. This was great!
I would also like to add “you go to bed dreaming of farms, cafes & mobsters!”
First of all- the Barbie picture is FANTASTIC!
I’m pretty much guilty of everything listed. I can only imagine what things will be like when my children are older. I think things will end up looking a lot like the Jetsons.
I have been guilty of calling my husband or sons from my car to help me carry in groceries. My husband and I have also called our son to ask him what he would like for dinner when he is in his bedroom.
I also go on line first thing in the morning but at least I do go to the bathroom first!
I’m guilty of 6, 12, 14, and 15.
Craftymomof3, I can’t stand when people post their farms, mobsters, etc. on Facebook. So annoying.
I have dug my heels in deep on the cell phone thing. I have one for emergencies.
One that bugs me is that I’m always reminded that being excited about movie being on tv is passe’. Because “you can watch it online anytime”. (Mostly by my grown children). For instance, To Kill A Mockingbird is on tonight, whoo hoo! . It’s mostly in a nice way to make sure I know it’s available. But, I know that too. It’s still fun to watch tv.
I text my son in the morning to wake him up for school.
I check email if I get up in the middle of the night to pee.
I communicate with family and friends mainly through leaving comments on their Facebook pages.
I don’t have tivo, but if I miss a tv show I just watch the full episode on-line.
I haven’t owned a phonebook, dictionary or thesaurus in over a decade.
My kids have never seen an encyclopedia, they Google everything.
I sometimes have a van full of girls because of carpooling and they text each other from the back seat to the front seat. My kids text each other in our home, especially to “call everyone for dinner.” I get texts during the day from my husband and kids and I reply right back. I LOVE having access to my hsband and children like that. Life is more expensive, but also much easier. The best way to find your cell phone? Use one of the others lying around and call yourself.
I loved this!
