World, stop taking selfies while driving

OK, I admit, I do it too. But we gotta stop.  One of us is going to get ourselves or somebody else killed. So, world, let's stop taking selfies and driving.  While we're at it, let's stop touching our phones altogether while we're driving.  Brains weren't meant to operate large machinery in lines of other brains operating large machinery whilst dividing their attentions between that and a small electronic device.

Playing Dress Up

SnapChat filters give us all a new way to waste our time.

Communication

The only way I see my husband these days.

My jokes aren't as funny via Facetime.

I'd like to think this is what Jay-Z and Beyonce do when B is on tour.

So, yeah, it's pretty much like I'm Beyonce.

Hmmm...

Bekah messaged me last night that I simply must check out a few apps that she read about that are centered around mindfulness.

I immediately checked them out and downloaded Balanced and Moment. 

Both are pretty neat. Balanced allows you to make cute little non-to do lists of things that keep your life balanced and Moment tracks your daily phone usage time and alerts you if you're on too much. 

But I'm haunted by this sense of how can there be apps for your phone that are meant to keep you off your phone and more present in the world but you need to have/check/be on phone to use it? I need to use my phone to know if I'm doing a good job not using my phone?

I think our phones ARE trying to kill us...or at least drive us crazy.
