I have this cell phone that I really like. Seriously, no sarcasm this time. It's little and blue, it hardly ever drops a call and I just really like it. Saturday I was talking to Steve and after we hung up I put my phone in the front pocket of my hoodie. I was getting ready to leave and while I was in the bathroom I reached over the toilet and my phone fell out of my pocket! I immediately though Oh My God! I though for sure it was going right in the toilet. It bounced off the seat, I thought oh, that was close, so I went to grab it but I wasn't fast enough. I'm a bit of a germophobe but I stuck my hand in that toilet so freakin fast! Luckily it was "clean" water. I grabbed a towel and the screen was blue... then it turned off. I watched my fave little blue phone die in my hand. 
My next though was aww crap, I need to go buy a phone! Steve's gonna kill me! Ugh $200 to buy a phone when I had one I really liked. I looked at the clock it was about 4:40. I wondered what time Cingular was open till. Could I make it to Southgate before they close? I went on line to find out they were open till 6:00. I left right away.
When I got to Cingular, the lady told me my phone was fried and I should go to another store and buy a refurbished phone instead of spending all that money since I wasn't elidgable for upgrade. She called the guy and told him I'd be right over. I drove from Dix/Eureka to Goddard/Pardee in like 5 seconds flat. The guy hooked me up with a phone so much like mine that I was able to use the old faceplate and it was $35. That wasnt too bad.
Later on in the evening after I ran all my errands, I got home and was messing around on the computer trying to find a new ringtone and wallpaper. Steve came home and I was talking to him, just for kicks I hit the power button on my old phone and IT TURND ON!!! Please keep in mind that this is the same phone that a couple blogs ago I was saying that I spiked it on the kitchen floor because I was pissed off. So, I've shattered this phone in to pieces at least twice now and dropped it in the toilet and it still works!!
If anyone needs a Cingular phone, I have one for $35.
In other happenings...
We got a new car. Well, new to us anyway. It's a blue 99 Escort SE. It's just like Steve's old one. I have my ZX2 back and he as a reliable car for work. All is well except I still need to sell my Tbird. I hope I don't miss it too much. I'm doing ok so far but I haven't been through the trauma of seeing someone else drive off in it yet.
Steve got a side job working with his buddy. He is removing/replacing fenders from cars while his buddy bumps out the dents. He gets paid per car, so it's cool.
Also, as you can probably tell by looking at my profile/pics I have obtained a copy of photoshop. Finally! I love it. I've been having a blast.
That's about it for now. I hope you enjoyed my cell phone story as much as I enjoyed the expierence.
