Red, Polka Dots and the Telephone

Many people know that I have a thing for RED.
But what even I didn't realize is that I seem to have a thing for polka dots too!

As I was talking on the phone with my friend, Sharon, I started focusing unconsciously then very consciously on the polka dottie things around me.
So when I was done talking, I gathered up some things and did a quickie photo shoot of the stuff.

I had to throw in some snowflakes because we all know I am a snowflake psycho. Actually, the paper sphere with snowflakes in each section was a girl's art day project with my friend Sharon at her house last year. [We need to get together for another art day, Sharon!!! ]

What does all this have to do with the telephone? Well, any of you that know me know that I am not a big telephone hanging on talk talk talk person...or someone with a cell phone attached like an umbilical cord...or heaven forbid, one of those Bluetooth thingies (sorry. I hate those. I'm sure they have their place and convenience-but I think they are rude when people are wearing them and talking while they are also talking to the person live in front of them or when people just look like they are talking to themselves like some weirdo walking into the bank or grocery or where ever !)
*big breath*
Anyway, when I was on the phone with my friend Sharon planning a get together today, since the kiddos are back to school {finally!}, I just kept thinking of how we shouldn't catch up on everything on the phone. We need to save stuff to say in person-which is much much nicer. If you ever get the chance --talk to someone face to face, live and in person. What a concept! Don't spend your life connected to a phone. CUT THE CORD! Oh wait, most phones don't have cords now do they??! Ooops! Showing my age again.
And yes Suz- I know what you are thinking as you read this..."What the heck is she smokin'? She talks for oodles of time on the phone to me. Especially during her most recent famous holiday nervous break down!!"
You're absolutely right, Suz !! But I can't see you in person to talk your ear off cuz' we're too far away. Though just think, during my break down if I were able to talk to you live and in person you would have had to look at my splotchy red yukky pouty face. It looked kind of like all these red and white polka dots.
Sometimes the phone is better!!
