and another thing about my phone

Sigh...texting. I get it. It's easy and quick and kind of fun but it's also taking over my life. Right now I have a text message package of 1,000 texts a month. That's about 30 text messages a day. This month I maxed that quota and racked up about $50 in international text charges from a friend in Prague. They are 15 cents each and don't come in the package (yes we txt a lot!). And that's the other thng. I am a writer and I pride myself on my extensive vocabulary, it actually pays my bills. But for some reason, I fnd mself figring out wys to gt the mssage acrss in half the wrds. Oy, it's so bad. I think I get about 5 phone calls a week, and about 200 texts. Are we all that busy that no one can pick up the phone anymore? OK, I too am guilty of sending a text before a phone call, but how impersonal have we all become? I guess I've always loved gab fests on the phone with my friends and siblings, and getting to actually talk to a guy on the phone to get to actually, you know, know him? But alas, we live in a world of 1,000-text-a-month packages for $10 which turns out to be about .01 cents a text..so in that case, keep 'em coming, I guess. Just don't make them international.
