So I am liking this November 2008 Issue of PINK Magazine more and more…..there is an article on Blackberries or as everyone UNIVERSALLY refers to them as CRACKBERRIES because that is exactly what they are! Believe me I KNOW!!! So this article by Joey Reiman is a “Blackberry version of the Ten Commandments” (if that makes any sense) Its actually pretty funny, truthful, and a good read to get you thinking about how much we may rely on these pieces of technology! Ughhhhhhh! Read and worship theses “commandments” below! Enjoy! lol
10 BLACKBERRY COMMANDMENTS
1. Thou shalt not take the BlackBerry to any table with food on it or family around it. A BlackBerry is not a fruit, nor does it come from a tree
2. Thou shalt not use the BlackBerry as reading material in the event of insomnia. It will only worsen your situation.
3. Thou shalt not BlackBerry in lieu of responding to a child’s request (e.g. “Wait a second, I’m reading something”).
4. Thou shalt not place the BlackBerry within distance of hearing its incessant beeps while at home. IT is NOT a bird.
5. Thou shalt not check the BlackBerry as if it were your baby. It will not cry or stop breathing. (LMAO..this is mos def ME!)
6. Thou shalt not confuse number of e-mails with self-worth.
7. Thou shalt do everything possible to misplace your BlackBerry on weekends. “There’s No Place Like Home” will never be the tagline for the BlackBerry company.
8. Thou shalt remember that a BlackBerry is not a body appendage. It is a device that belongs in your briefcase or on your desk, not in social settings.
9. Thou shalt refrain from bringing the BlackBerry to events involving family interaction. Extraneous dialogue with this contraption in lieu of real conversation suggests addiction.
AND LASTLY……
10. Thou shalt never, ever, ever bring the BlackBerry to bed. Do this and you are BlackBuried!!!!!!!!

In the article is a thorough outline of Mrs. Obama’s daily schedule…and I only have one thing to say: My feelings about this woman and her passion towards her family and the state of our country surpass admiration, she is the epitome of integrating family and career while maintaining utter professionalism, respect, and love—-AMAZING. Just to give you an idea of what I read, below is a list of just some of her daily routines (AND I THOUGHT WORKING 3 JOBS burnt me out!)
