i life

So about two months ago my mom gave me her old iphone. Now, knowing my track record with phones, I never really wanted to pursue getting one, I was quite happy with my phone that I had at the time. However, who's going to pass up a free iphone? not me!
My boyfriend got an iphone a few months before and he kept saying how much it "changed" his life...I got quite the laugh from this. How can a phone change your life? OHH it can.
Now everywhere I go, i can accomplish so much: check my email, facebook messages, check traffic to avoid accidents, check the weather in different cities if i'm traveling, and write down notes when i think of things i need from the grocery store. This list can go on and on for quite awhile, but thats not quite the point.
There is so much other things that I could be doing besides checking my email every 15 minutes of the way. It does make some things better, but i feel that it really takes a tole on relationships. I am as guilty as the next person, but there is always a phone on the table, and if lights up, we might be busy for the next few minutes.
I want to do phone free nights...but I some how think that that will never happen.
