I can’t believe I saved all of my old pagers. I wonder what my children will be saying about these pagers/phones we used to have. OMG, EW! That is probably going to be their reaction.

I remember getting my first pager, Motorola, in 2000. My parents wanted to keep in touch with me while I was away at the deaf school. Soon enough my friends had one and it became more fun to use. Although it wasn’t fun getting in trouble when the phone bill arrived. Too bad we didn’t have unlimited texting plans back then!

Wyndtell was probably one of the best & fun pager I had. Almost everyone I knew had Wyndtell or AOL pager. I loved the feature where I could see if the person read my message or not. It was cool at the time to clip it to our jeans and paint the cover with nail polish.

When Sidekick first came out I HAD, WANTED, NEEDED to get one in my hands! So my parents bought a Sidekick for my Birthday and I remember bringing it home and being shocked how I could be on the Internet while sitting on the couch, walking outside, riding in the car… my life was complete! I immediately set up another AIM screenname for Sidekick only. That is a story for another time… I was addicted to changing my screennames all the time!

I absolutely love my iPhone now and cannot live without it! Now I wonder what I’ll be saying about the iPhone in 3 years?!

Tyler took me to PF Chang’s tonight for dinner but it didn’t get exciting until on our way home when it started pouring and flooding! That was so much fun! We couldn’t get to the apartment from the carport without going through the flood. Wish it’d rain sometimes during the day not just the evenings.

While going through boxes, I found a “Minor Release” form with Lou Ferrigno’s (who played the Hulk) autograph – “To Stephanie – follow your heart & dreams! Love, Lou Ferrigno.” I totally forgot about that indie tv show my sister and I were in but I guess they never produced it. According to the form, it was supposed to be called “Tonisha Johnson” about Lou Ferrigno wanting to work with deaf children because he is hard of hearing himself and his wife disagreed with him so they did a scene at a school playground where I was supposedly the teacher supervising the children during recess. My sister was just a little girl so they had her walk up to Lou and give him a ball during the argument with his wife. Too bad this movie wasn’t produced!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY! I swear life goes fast when working full-time. Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nicole!!
