| | Some of you remember how we used to keep important information on some sort of paper record. Addresses were in the address book that (I'm told) was used to send out Christmas Cards (I guess I never really got that memo). Phone numbers were in a little book that was kept by the phone (that was also much easier because we only had one phone in the house). And things we wanted to remember were either put in our diary or in a manilla folder in the file cabinet.
Now, I keep my addresses in my Outlook or Yahoo contact tab.
I keep phone numbers in my cell phoneS. and when we meet someone, we hand him/her our phone and they enter their number themselves.
I used to keep paper copies of my taxes and used that info to do my taxes the next year (using lots of paper and pencils). Now, I use Turbo tax so things are automatically copied over every year and when I use the calculator to compute things, I just hit the button and the computed value is automatically input in the box.
and I use my Xanga blog to keep track of things. For example, I now have the names of all of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren here...(I just need to remember that it's here  )
and I have also used Xanga recently to compare the size of our new puppy (Sophie) to our older puppy (yep...he's still a puppy even at 2) Rufus. Sophie was 37.5 pounds at about the same age that Rufus was weighing in at 14 pounds.
And now...Rufus is 52 pounds at age 2 years and 2 months....and Sophie is 47.5 pounds at age 5 months.,,,which I thought was big....and then I saw a labradoodle last weekend that made Sophie look tiny.... guess I'd better keep an eye out for that Great Dane!
Oh....and I was just thinking about what I do with all of the free time I have now that everything is so automated.....I think my mind jumps around a lot!
