Gadgets and Gizmos

Let me start off with the fact that I LOVE my husband. I would do anything for him. He does just about anything for me. Example: Driving to my parents house in the middle of the night to see me for 5 minutes, grocery shopping for me (and my family!), driving 16 hours to meet my extended family then turning around to work summer camps until August, babysitting my little brothers and sisters complete with food fights, throwing hay for me, picking up medicines, picking up TAMPONS (GASP! Now THAT deserves a gold star!), listening to me whine for hours on end, staying IN on a Saturday night instead of going out, moving 500 miles away from Nashville just to be with me! See, he IS pretty AWESOME! I think he loves me.

But he drives me CRAZY!!!! with gadgets! If it has an electrical system, operating system, program variation, circuit board, or overall, ANY sort of blinking lights, he is GLUED! Like a bug to a bug zapper, like a college kid to beer, like a tween to Justing Beiber, like peas and carrots, Superman and Lois Lane, a politician to a mistress, or a desperate housewife to prozac!

BEN LOVES GADGETS!! From January to March he researched building his own guitar, complete with a new work bench and an architect's spread worth of instructions. April and May were filled with reprograming his computer....4 programs later we have a functioning laptop again.

Well mid-May while trying out one of his newest computer programs he found the Samsung FASCINATE, andriod phone....And so a new obsession was birthed. 8 days ago it arrived at our front door. And once it charged, I lost my Benjamin.....

Meet THE ENEMY:

Cue the Mood Music! click here and open a new tab so you can get the full effect as you continue reading....

No he is not just texting away, checking his email and surfing the web.
He has been researching better ways to make the phone run faster.
This phone has had 3 new programs thus far....

What happened to the days when people just plugged in their new phones and used them?! Apparently those days left my house LONG ago!!
Today it got a new program.
As the thing started up it started talking.....

Instantly I was wishing for Shia Labeouf because I was convinced that a TRANSFORMER was going to explode into a sport car at any moment IN MY KITCHEN!!!

Ok, maybe I'm being a little over dramatic....But seriously, look at what I've been living with for the last 8 days!

Disclaimer: I am JUST kidding. Ben knew prior to the completion of this post that he was getting ROASTED for his latest obsession and he agreed. (Expect his rebuttal soon, especially after you see the last photo).
Ben dreaming of all the things his new phone can do. Cooper wondering WHEN he will get his guy back....There, there Super Cooper, I know how you feel....You can sleep on my side of the bed tonight.
