Dear Reader-
The other day I headed out to go pick up a few things after handling a couple of projects in the morning, expecting to be home in an hour to put a couple other work projects to bed that afternoon…
As I rushed out the door, I decided just to take my phone and my wallet… which turned out to be a big mistake.
Ya see as I got to town, I noticed my tire light flashing AGAIN and pulled over to air it up… and there it was… A NAIL… (insert groan here).
The $10 fix was going to cost me a minimum of 3 hours… and I was frustrated.
I was KICKING myself for not grabbing my tablet before leaving… but I thought it would make my bag too heavy and I was just running quick errands anyhow…
Hindsight is 20-20.
I could have worked on my projects or blog posts or… gasp… even read a book while waiting, instead of strolling the aisles at wally world for things I did not need at the time.
I hate wasting time and time I was a wasting…
Ironically, with the pin point precision of a google ad (don’t those things freak you out?!?), I got an email from Verizon on my phone in the middle of all my regret.
They asked me if I would like to start trying out some of their technology for my blog… anything I wanted.
Um, yeah!
So, hey… you got an android tablet that is small enough to tote around like a phone, but big enough to reap the benefits of a tablet so I don’t do this to me again?
And that is when the Galaxy 7.7 entered my little blogger life…
To say I heart this thing is an understatement…
It has all the convenience and customization of my favorite apps and widgets…
In a little package as small as my journal, but big enough that I can get some real work (and play) done on the go…
And it has saved my hiney on more than one occasion… from blog edits to last minute client requests while I am away from my laptop.
And here is the awesome thing… it has a battery life that can totally kick my phone and laptop’s butt… um if they had butts that is…
A typical day for my lovely includes everything from devotions to taking pictures and video to tweaking a blog post to a couple minutes (yeah right) on Instagram, Pinterest, Hootsuite and Facebook.
Oh and email, email and more email… but that isn’t fun, so let’s not talk about that 😉
Then she joins me on El for a book or two…
And then again plays double duty, helping find something to feed the fam while generating more blog content 😉
And, there will no doubt be several times throughout the day where she will be jammin it out on Spotify helping me get everything from work done, to a workout done to a good nights sleep.
So, there you have it… how a small tablet has made a big impact…
And I ain’t just blowing smoke folks…
It proved to be so useful that after I returned the one Verizon gave me to try out, I bought one that day to call my own… and she hasn’t left my side since.
Now, I have to tell you I am a little scared (and I think Puddie is too!) that Verizon is going to keep sending me things to try and share with you guys… because I am not sure my bank account can handle it if I have the same reaction to everything they send me!
[…] my tablet right […]
