Hello? - thinking about resolutions

If you are my close friend or family member, then you are very aware that I am the hardest person in the world to get in touch with.

I never ever charge my phone, its always on silent, and I am messy by nature. Do you know what this means? It means my phone dies constantly, and since I dont have organization in my blood I set it down in random places. It will sit in that random spot, dead for days until I finally find it. When I turn it back on I have a million texts that read like this:

"Are you avoiding me?"

"Are you alive?"

"Ive tried calling you several times, is everything ok?"

and sometimes a simple "you hate me" from Haley

On FB, sometimes on twitter and even on this blog I am bad about responding to comments or posts. 

I see the texts, posts, comments and respond to people in my head, as if they can hear me. Then my A.D.D. kicks in and I am on to the next shiny thing that has caught my eye.

SO, my resolution for the coming year is this: to be more intentional about keeping my phone charged and responding to people at least by the end of each day.

Sometimes I think though, why do people need me to respond to them RIGHT AWAY? Cant I respond at my leisure and the world not end or people not jump to conclusions that I hate them?

Apparently not. 

I will often just leave my phone at home when we go somewhere. I know that if something truly important happens people know they can get in touch with me  through George, and if they dont know that, how important can it be really? 

I would be perfect to play a role in a movie of someone who throws their phone in the ocean or lake because they have had too much. Not that I have, but I have no attatchement to my phone. I would love to see how far I could throw it.

Ugh. I guess 2012 is the year for communication.Yayyyyy.
