phone woes

So...when my blackberry was working, it was very easy to snap a picture and upload it right to my blog! That was probably the reason I was able to post as frequently (infrequently, lately) as I did. But now...oh woe is me! My phone is completely and totally dead. All my contacts and information and past text messages and, and, and...IS GONE! I have had zero contact with the world outside of my landline phone (which we only randomly got because it came free with a package for our internet). I used to think I had an exceptional memory...but ask me what my mother-in-law's phone number is. father-in-law? sister-in-law? best friends here in St Pete? these are people that I talk to all the time...but HAVE NO CLUE how to reach anymore! All I can say is THANK GOODNESS FOR FACEBOOK and EMAIL! What a hassle! New phone is supposed to be here tomorrow...I'm hoping so anyway. How did our mothers accomplish daily tasks without a cell phone? I don't even like to be driving without one! I guess it's a whole different world now, huh?
