Ridiculous

My phone has been hanging on by a thread for the past few months. It has been thrown multiple times by my little destructor (Elyn) and has been dropped a few times by yours truly.

Today, I was talking on it and when I hung up, the face piece almost fell off.

It was then I knew that my phone was never going to last until I was eligible for a free one. In 2010.

I only get free phones. I have NEVER spent a dollar (other than to buy a car charger) on a phone. I don't see why I should. I don't need anything fancy. Just something to talk on and send a text with.

I asked Matthew to stop by the AT&T store so I could run in and see what they had in stock.

The cheapest phone that was available was $150.00.

And it is a VERY basic phone.

Do you know how many new pair of shoes I could buy with $150.00? Do you know how many GROCERIES I can by with that much money?

I did not get the phone.

But, seriously, my phone WILL NOT make it until 2010. It already has portions of it held together by scotch-tape thanks to the AT&T guy coming to my rescue the last time Elyn threw it.

My sweet husband offered to switch phones with me.

Mine is pink.

I told him no, but thanks.

I got home, looked online at the AT&T store to see if they had any deals. Nope. None.

Ridiculous!

So, I went to Ebay.

YEA EBAY!

I ordered a new phone (well, new to me, old to the person selling it) and it should be arriving on my doorstep in the next few days.

I didn't have to take out a loan, I get several accessories with it, and I think it's probably better than my current phone.

I just hope the scotch-tape holds for the next few days!
