Last Tuesday morning as I am getting ready for work I hear Reed yell from the bathroom, "Mama, I have your phone!" OK was my reply then I heard it drop...he was in the bathroom...
I go running in there and find my cell phone at the bottom of the toilet bowl...not a happy mama. I fish it out and tell Reed how sad I am. He put himself in time out in his room. :(
Off came the back cover...out came the battery...the phone is open...and it lays on a towel on my bed while I go off to work. Prayers being said that it will be just fine when it dries out.
Come home from work and but the battery and back on and it doesn't do anything...so it lays out to dry more.
Next morning it turns on...and rings that I have voice mail. I call the voice mail. I am trying to put it on speaker phone so I can listen to it while I finish getting ready for work. Speaker phone button is now the number 7 and the voice mails get deleted! ACK! I put it in my purse and try it again after work. Still working wonky. Finally Thursday I am able to dial out but the number 6 is working weird and is being stubborn. A little while later can't do anything with the phone.
So I went to Radio Shack Thursday afternoon to get a new phone but the girl wasn't really interested in helping me. So I left.
Friday I decided to stop at the Sprint store. Guy in there told me the cheapest phone he could get for me was $155. I told him thanks but no thanks and left.
Today mom and I took the boys and went to the mall. I saw another Radio Shack store and decided to see if they had anything better than the Sprint store. The sales lady in there was very helpful (unlike the other store I went to) and told me they had refurbished phones. She starts telling me the prices and they are all in the $200 price range and my heart is sinking. Then she gets to this pink phone and says it is $80. OK, that is the best price I have heard and it sounds good to me. As I am thinking the price is better I am thinking I am so not a pink person and this phone looks like a 13 or 14 year old should be carrying it. I understand that some people love pink and would jump at the chance to get this phone, but was wishing I had a different color choice. Nope!
So I am now the proud owner of a "Barbie" pink phone, as my lovely dh refers to it. It is growing on me and I am sure soon I will not want to part with it. It has a camera on it too, which I was very excited about!
Now to transfer all my numbers over...thank goodness it is spring break this week!
