That's me!

My drive to and from work is some of the best "me" time I have. I use it to listen to music or a good audio book (currently, "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac) or sometimes I even enjoy the silence. And yes, I talk on my cell phone. The woman in your rear view mirror at the stoplight...the one gesturing wildly and laughing into her Motorola Razr? That's me. I seriously would not even need my cell phone if talking on it while driving were suddenly illegal in Georgia. I could give up the $50 a month bill at that point. To and from work - nobody is with me in the car! I can swear with impunity, I can talk about things I might not talk with you about on my home phone (where little ears might be listening), and I can just be ME.

All things considered, I'm a good cell phone citizen (if you overlook the whole talking while driving thing.) I don't continue my discussions in the elevator, I rarely talk while shopping and if I do, it's in a quiet voice so the whole world won't know you're having a PMS breakdown and if I'm actually with you, maybe having lunch for example, I might look to make sure it's not Kyle's school calling to say he needs stitches (again!) but I won't actually answer it - because I prefer being with you to being on the phone!

But hey, at least I draw the line at actually applying MAKE-UP while driving!!!
