I got her for Christmas and during the past 6 months she has done nothing but give give give. Her first contribution was providing my husband with piece of mind. You see, I was 8 months pregnant and everyday I would take our little puppy for a walk through the town. Everyday my husband would firmly instruct me to take my phone with me on ALL walks. "Gee" I wondered out loud, "What did pregnant ladies do before the invention of cell phones?" My husbands quick answer, "They had their babies on the side of the road with their dogs acting as midwife." I quickly realized this was one area I did not want to repeat the actions of my ancestors.This new BFF didn't stop there, she continued to support me when I had the baby. While I was in the hospital and all others had deserted me for either food or sleep, she stayed by my side. She provided me with knowledge of the outside world, and pictures of my new beautiful baby when I couldn't be by his side.
Since that time she has entertained me with games and gossip. Her most recent gift to me is in the form of "aldiko" an ebook reader application. In a matter of seconds I can download a free classic book for my enjoyment.
This post is dedicated to you Eris; may you continue to be wonderful and giving during the course of our relationship, and maybe I'll name my next baby after you.
