And I definitely attract attention when I pull out my tech in a bar or restaurant, so I try to be discreet. I will try, but I will more than likely be "off the grid" for the most part....a blessing in its own way. :-)Kelly Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424296190091205312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-51200564518441147842014-07-15T17:49:13.236-04:002014-07-15T17:49:13.236-04:00I am organized, Tiina, but it is still a challenge...I am organized, Tiina, but it is still a challenge.
