Are you lookin at me or my ear piece?

I admit some days I am more put together than other days. Heck, I am a working mom - some days I am in sweats all day and some days I actually put on lipstick and wear a dress. Geez, this mama knows how to get cleaned up.

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a launch party for the Jawbone, an Uber cool blue tooth earpiece, in San Francisco with Beth, aka Tech Mama and Glennia.  (More on the actual product later.) As a parting gift, we each got to take one of those cool things home.  My husband even thought it was cool and tried to convince me to give it to him - uh NO! :)  I have been on a mission to find one of these for months, so the Jawbone came at the perfect time.

Regardless, the other day was one of those days I actually took a shower, was dressed for a client meeting and well, looked good!  (Albeit a rare occasion.)  As part of my normal routine, I stood in line with the masses at Starbucks for my regular hazelnut latte.  I sat down reading my blackberry, sipping my coffee, Jawbone in my ear.  I am usually in my own world reading, working or well, trying to wake up.  This morning I was somewhere in between - reading and people watching.  I caught a gentleman looking my way.  Hmmm, kind cute I guess - weird tie though. Oh well, I'm married and if I WAS looking for a secret lover it would be Brad Pitt.  Back to my Crackberry.  I answer a call that comes in from a client.  I look over at the weird tie guy while I am talking and he is looking over at me again.  Hey, this is getting weird.  I end my call and gather my things.  As I walk out the door, he stops me and says, "Hey been looking for a new ear piece, I like yours.  What kind is it? Does it work in a noisy place like Starbucks?" 

I told him all about my new toy - but am secretly thinking he wanted my phone number:)  Yeah right! Well geez, what am I chopped liver?   Even a happily married girl can have her morning fantasy right?  Who woulda thought that my new ear piece was a conversation starter.  Who needs match.com?  Single ladies - go get 'em while their hot!

You are naturally cool!! I am enjoying wearing my Jawbone also - even my dentist complimented me on it.

Haha! That's funny--I'll recommend it to all of my single friends. :)

I am 100% sure my young next door neighbor is actually looking AT me, not wondering how my kids survive with this kind of Mom.

I am sooo jealous I missed out on getting an uber cool Jawbone! What the heck am I saying?! It would probably just end up in Poppy or Sweet Pea's toy basket for loose small toys anyway. hee hee

I'm getting a little nervous because July is "sneaking" up on me and I know I have to switch to a hands-free device soon. Let me know how you like it and YG you tech mama!

PS - Sorry I've been so busy - I'm actually getting the whole "mompreneur" thing off the ground from a new angle which I think you'll love - we definitely have to catch up over coffee when you're in PA.
