Huh?

About four months ago, Brian and I got a new cell phone plan. It has been fine, however, at the time I never thought about how much I would be using my new phone for texting. I have texted before, but this time around I seem to be texting more and more. So, we just went for the free phones.
Yesterday was my birthday and I have been telling Brian I really wanted a new phone for my birthday. So, last night, before dinner, we went out to look at new phones. We are not eliagble for an upgrade, so anything we looked at would be full price. My dream would have been the new my touch from Tmobile, but at $500... well you get the idea.
So, we went to the Tmobile store... well ... booth in the mall. It turns out the phone I was willing to get was no longer carried there and the new version is a bit different and I don't like it. I was talking to the guy and he kept telling me the phone was the same. I was telling him it was different. The new version is sleaker, smaller, thinner and the qwerty keyboard is smaller. Not what I wanted. So, we walked down to Radio Shack.
The sales man there and I talked for a bit and I was going to settle on another phone. He informed me that you didn't need to buy just a regular Tmobile phone, but you could get one of their pre-paid phones and it would work. The savings was astonishing. So, while I am looking at the phone, he took another customer. Brian than runs into someone he knows and we are talking.
The guy never came back to me... stupid sales person. Bri's friend suggests I go to Best Buy. So, I do. There is the phone I want in prepaid for less than half of what I could buy it with out it being prepaid! No brainer in my opinion!!! Brian and Emily went to get the car and meet me. I called him and told him I was ready and that I had bought my cell. It's pretty cool. It has a full qwerty keyboard and some other cool features. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get my music from the memory card to the ring tone section. The manual reads like greek. I'll figure it out at some point.
I will have to post something soon about my experince with the DSL company. It's utterly crazy! But maybe when I am less astonished and upset.

Without Technology

I am finally back online. Not that I was completely off line, as I have some internet on my cell phone and I have a 13 year old computer to check my email and stuff. But being able to blog, check facebook regularly, etc, was not something I could do.
I bought a computer back around Black Friday after my Dell died. I had the Dell for five or so years and after that the port where you plug in to charge to computer died. Since the Dell was more than five years old, and Best Buy couldn't fix it. It would have cost me more to send it back to Dell to see if they could even fix it at all. But at that time, I decided to just get another computer. So, Best Buy had a sale on something called an Emachine.
All in all, I got what I paid for.
I've been thinking about a new one and I picked it up today. I am very pleased with it. The only down side is that I have Windows Vista again. I hat Vista. I wish there was something else.
So, lots of catching up to do!!! Yeah!!!
