Call me! No Texting for now.

If you want or need to get a hold of me in the next 3 weeks or so, Call me and leave a message. No texts. Here is why . . .

So, I work outside all day. The other day I dropped my phone while working. (It's these darn girl pants. The pockets aren't deep at all and my phone got splooched out when I bent down). Well, upon discovering that it was missing, we retraced where we had been and couldn't find it. My coworker, Lauren, kept calling it as we went to each stop as we looked. At one point it stopped ringing and went straight to voicemail. We had been working near a school where there is a lot of foot traffic, so I figured it must have been stolen because somebody had to turn it off. I sadly admitted that I would have to buy a new phone and get my sim card deactivated to avoid anyone racking up bills on my phone. I called my mom to let her know and . . . aha!! Someone had turned it in to the T-mobile store. So, good new is that I have my phone for anyone contacting me. Bad news is, THE SCREEN IS BROKEN! I can't tell if I have any missed calls, texts, etc. I can only call those people whose phone number's I have memorized (or that Michael has in his phone). So if any of ya'll want/need to get a hold of me. . . call me and leave a message. :) I have a new screen on its way (from Hong Kong so it will take a while). Meanwhile I reminisce about the days when I memorized the numbers of my friends and family vs. entering them into my phone. Remember those little black books to keep telephone numbers in? Sure wish I had a back up of one of those. :)

at least you were able to get it back! Jed's phone is about 400 feet deep in Lake Powell! No worries about someone stealing it, but unfortunately he has lost ALL of his contacts...definitely wish we had those little black books!

Oh Man!!!! That's Terrible! We rely on these electronic devices so heavily, and yet a little water (or a lot of water) can ruin them completely. Then again, those little black books can be lost as well. I guess the best option would be to tap into all that unused brain capacity (supposedly 90%) and memorize everything. :) yeah right!

I can't call you anyway (I don't have your number), but if I really need to get to you, I know who I CAN call... But, sweetcheeks, I feel your pain. Phones are the ultimate luxury-turned necessity, fo sho! Fun story with a pioneer twist, if you look at it in a warped sort of way -which, of course, I do: hardships come, smile through them, all ends well and sometimes even better!
Luv-a-love y'all,
