POLL... 3 things that make your life easier
What are 3 things that make your life easier? (Stolen from a Bump board.)
______________________________________
Mine:
1. Upright deep freezer. Making meals ahead of time saves SO much time on busy weeknights.
2. Blackberry. Love being able to check email from where ever I am.
3. Pay at the pump gasoline. Seriously. I remember when you had to go inside to pay. Such a time saver to just pay and go without unloading everyone from the car or trudging inside and standing in super long lines.
Re: POLL... 3 things that make your life easier
1) Cell phones. I remember back in the days of having a beeper and then carrying quarters for pay phones. Truly, what did beepers even do for us? Sometimes I like being able to turn off my phone and not be bothered, but it has definitely come in handy the times that I got a flat tire or locked myself out of my house!
2) The internet. I remember when the whole internet thing was a new adventure....now I can't imagine life without it.
3) Drive-thrus. Yes, I realize this makes me sound extremely lazy, but when I am tired and running late for work, there is nothing better than being able to drive-through Starbucks for my morning caffiene!

1.) Internet ON my cell phone. I never thought I'd need/want it...but now that I have it I couldn't live without it.
2.) GPS on my phone. I use it very very frequently.
3.) Apartment living. As inconvenient as sharing a giant building with hundreds of people is...it is SO convenient to have a handyman a phone call away, no lawn care, no plowing driveways, someone always there to take your packages for safe keeping...etc.
1. GPS
2. Regular restaurants having take-out
3. Super Target. I love being able to buy everything at one place. If they carried alcohol, it would be even better.
1. my husband
2. GPS
3. iPhone
1. DH (especially right now!)
2. iPhone
3. Free downtown parking
1. Facebook (no more awkward emails "hi, it's been a while, what's new?" stiffness.)
2. Supertarget
3. Dreamweaver (software to edit my own websites, saving me enormous $ and time and stress doing things myself.)
1. my hands free pumping bra- seriously best invention ever!
2. Coborn's delivers
3. GPS
Photo taken at 16 months old
1. Allergy medicine
2. Granite City take-out on Sundays
3. External hard drives. If I didn't have at least two, I don't know how we'd store all of our photos and stuff...
1. iPhone
2. The finished construction on hwy 62 at Crosstown
3. Supertarget - love this store.
Zuma Zoom
1. Online bill pay
2. Cell phone technology
3. Excel- use it a ton at work and at home
1. Cell phone
2. Internet
3. Having an association for snow removal, garbage, lawn care, etc.
1) a near commerical Bunn coffee maker, coffee in about 60 seconds
2) our Kubota GR2100 lawn mower (so much better than our poor, sad previous mower)
3) my iphone
1. Online bill pay. I can't remember the last time I used a check.
2. Iphone. It has everything on it and I have an app for everything. I used it a lot on our trip with trip advisor, GPS and maps.
3. Laundry room by the bedrooms. I HATED laundry day with a passion when I had to lug the baskets down to the basement. Having the laundry right by the bedroom makes it so much easier.
