Back in Business!

Hi folks! I've been lax in posting lately but it's not entirely my fault. We've had lots going on (what else is new?) part of which has involved me not having a phone! With my old phone (Blackberry Curve) I was able to snap cute pics and upload them in an instant. The same was true for videos...when I took the time to do it. But...you may remember a previous post back in March or April (I'll look for it) where my phone was accidentally submerged in water. I thought it was dead then but it actually dried out and worked beautifully. That is, until two Sundays ago. My phone was working great and I was reading a text when all of a sudden, BLANK. NOTHING, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA. Not even a power light! UGH! Apparently once your phone gets wet it basically gets "cancer". You never really know how bad it is or when it's going to take over!

I won't bore anyone with the details of my panic-ridden escapade to the Verizon store, but you can imagine my horror when Sean the Verizon guy informed me that I would be without a phone for a while. Then imagine the amplified horror when Sean told me that I had lost ALL of my contacts!

Once I got over, or accepted rather, the fact that 10 years worth of information was instantly GONE; I decided to deal with getting a new phone. I picked out the phone I wanted and proceeded to order it thinking it would be 2-3 days worth of phone-less waiting. As it turns out, I had to wait 2 weeks!!!!!!!

Finally, the phone came and I was able to get it programmed. Hooray for working phone! I started the process of adding in as many contacts as I could through my email requests...but it was very slow. And then...the most AMAZING thing of all happened! I had given my dead blackberry to Landon to play with. He was busy pressing buttons and chewing on the screen. Suddenly I look over and see his face light up. Not with joy, but with LIGHT. From my phone! He had mysteriously turned it on somehow! Perhaps a combination of baby drool and forceful banging upon hard objects makes dead phones turn back on. Who knows. Needless to say, I rushed right over and say Verizon guy and he was able to take all my contacts and put them on my new phone. Then he handed the phone to Landon and it turned off as mysteriously as it turned on. No joke.

So basically...I'm back in blog-business. I have a new phone and will be uploading new pics and videos. :) Yippee!
