phone if she really needed me for something, so this weekend we made the trek to our local ATT store and walked out with an LG Shine for her and this little baby on the left for me. Now I hear the questions from my parents and those of you on the frugal end of the spectrum. Did I NEED an iPhone? No. Did I WANT an iPhone? You bet your sweet patooty I did. As they handed the activated iPhone to me in the store my wife cradled her hands around it and sang an angelic "aaaaaah" as if light were descending from the ceiling. Yes, she was mocking my geekiness but I don't care. I had bided my time, done the research, and saved up to buy it. It wasn't exactly an "impuse purchase." She wasn't exactly bored with her choice, either. As a matter of fact, as we were seated at our booth in Chili's later than evening for dinner, we spent the first 20 minutes of our time playing with our phones as if the other person weren't even there. So, maybe someone else has a little techno geek in her blood. And, as her husband I think I'm entitled to say that's just a little hot.
