Monday Listicles

Anja from Cocalores made this week’s suggestion:
Ten Clues That I am Living in 2012
1. I have a teenager now. I knew this year would come eventually.
2. We have 3 wall calendars, 2 iPhones, an iTouch, a Macbook, a desktop computer and two Dell laptops that says so.
3. There are stores for marijuana.Â
4. Some of my most cherished friends I met through the blogosphere and I have no idea what they look like in real life. We keep in touch with Tweeting, texting, Facebooking and an occasional email.
5. I order my favorite dish from Sharky’s with tofu instead of chicken.
6. Dodge has brought back the Charger, the Challenger and now the Dart.
7. My phone talks to me and tells me what to do.
8. People are pushing their dogs in strollers rather than walking them.
9. One-year-olds know how to open and play apps on tablets and smart phones.
10. You don’t have to give me cash or a check; just give me your credit card and I’ll swipe it on my phone, or key in the number.
Wow, #1 makes me realize that I it won’t be until 2023 that I’ll have a teenager.
It’s a little shocking, to be honest. It doesn’t seem possible.
Yeah, #9 is brilliant!
It’s crazy!!!! I saw my neighbor baby climb on the couch, unlatch and open the tablet and just click and slide away.
Dart? That sounds odd. So snotrod is a dart now? Yep, the only smart thing about me left is my smart phone. Siri says so…
Siri tells me the same!
My one year old is a iPad master. He even taught me how to sweep between pages on the darn thing.
It makes me laugh when I see that.
Looks like you are really in need of an iPad then! It’s amazing how kids figure these devices out so easily.
Oh gosh not a tablet in addition to everything else we have electronic here.
#9 is all too true, and scares me on a daily basis. I’m still afraid to let my 7yo use the universal remote, so it always blows my mind that my baby can operate a touch screen.
hahahaha!!
The dog in the stroller reference cracked me up. That is so true. And we’ve yet to have a marijuana franchise in Madison. Guess I’ll be on the look out.
We have marijuana joints (hahaha!!!) EVERYWHERE here. In California (shocker!)
All of those are so true! My 2 year old can work my phone and kindle fire better than I can! Although I won’t have a teenager until 2023….
Just you wait. Teenagerness is crazy.
I became the mother of a teenager last month so I am right there with you! I have three spoiled dogs but I’ve yet to buy them a stroller. Cracks me up every time I see that!
My son turned 13 THIS month!!! When I see the dog stroller it drives me coocoo lala. It’s crazy.
That dog in stroller thing is just toooooo much!!!
I want to throw rocks at them (the people)
The reality of your list scares me.
You’re welcome
Great list! I didn’t even think of some of those, but you are so right. Just last week I saw photos of people with dogs in carriers (like baby wearing, except dog wearing), and I “know” more about some of my blogging buddies than people I know if real life!
My bloggy friends know more about me than my BFF!!!
People pushing their dogs in strollers! That shouldn’t even be done in 2025!
In 2025 they’ll have doggy hovercrafts
And still no cure for the common cold or getting this horrible tomato stain off my white t-shirt. Love #4 – so true. You’re the best!
I lovelovelove my bloggy friends. Like the one from Queens. I’m gonna visit her some day and meet her cuhrazy kids.
i couldn’t BELIEVE it when i saw a Dart the other day- looking so brand new! i had no idea they brought it back and it really tripped me out!
The thing is, we have an old original one right out front and it was such an ugly car!
OMG, I have seen #8 here too! Unbelivable!
I don’t understand it!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who still has a wall calendar. I am old school like that. also dogs in strollers..hilarious and a bit creepy.
We have a calender in the kitchen (my husband’s), Noah’s room and my office. It’s a required gift for Christmas and it’s fun picking it out. It’s an easier reference than my phone sometimes.
They brought back the Dodge Dart!!! OMG…that’s the family car we had growing up.
You wouldn’t know it by seeing it now. Nope. Total transformation.
OMG dog strollers! Those things make my head explode!
