WATER AND CELL PHONES DON'T MIX!!
If the title don't say it all. Last year at christmas I got my husband and myself both new motorola razors. I love my phone it's pink and it's the best phone I've ever owned, I live in a small town out away from everything and the reception on it is great, no other phone can live up to that. When I got up to go walking Friday morning I stuck it in my pocket like I always do but when I came home and changed for work I forgot to get it. At lunch I had the boys go pick up the laundry and bring it to me and I dumped the basket in to the machine. Yep you guessed it after I got off work I went in to take the clothes out and there on the bottom of the machine layed my beautiful pink phone dead to the world, the only upside was that my sims card still works so I didn't loose all my info. I went to the cingular store the next day to have it replace and they wanted $300.00 for one just like it. They are insane! My insurance won't cover it because it got wet. What good is insurance if it don't cover anything. I paid as much for that insurance as I did for my brand new pink motorola razor off of ebay. The insurance on the new phone is only $9.99 for 3 years and you can get reimbursed at anytime if the insurance doesn't cover something. Most of the time they say it's just cheaper to replace your phone than to fix it. So my new phone should be here in 2 days and I only paid $115.00 for it that was express shipping and all. Pretty good deal compared to Cingular's $300.00. Lesson learned I will never put a cell phone in my pocket ever again. Very expensive lesson.

Oh No! I think the numbers on my phone had got wet. I let Levi use it right after we got out of the pool, and he was soaking wet. For about 2 hours, my down/side buttons and my 2,5,8,0 didn't work at all. Now the numbers work, but my down/side arrows dont work. So I can't scroll through my missed calls or anything.
I called AT&T/Cingular, and I have insurance...but they still want me to pay a $50 deductible to send me a new phone. I haven't done it yet...I was to mad! haha

I am glad you got a new phone. I always wanted one of those pretty pink phones..but mine is really small and I like that.

Aw Man! That STINKS! I cringed when I read that part about you dumping the clothes in the machine! I have been there/done that as far as being without a phone. It's NO fun. I can't believe how much I rely on it! I am glad you were able to get it taken care of without having to spend the $300!

So did you just buy one off of Ebay and then have it activated at your local store?
I may have to look into doing that....after August. We have vacation, mine and Levi's birthday, Granny and Aunt Michelle's birthdays, Levi starting school, etc, etc. But my poor phone is driving me nuts and seems to be getting worse and worse.

Week 2 (this should have been posted Monday , but it's just been one of those weeks) As all of you know I have been dieting and exercising like a mad crazy woman. OK maybe not that bad. I actually just decided that I had to make some major lifestyle changes, to improve my health, my body, and along the way my spirit just jump on for the ride. Anyway today was weigh in day and I have lost 11 pound this week, that was not a typo I did say 11 pounds. I could not believe my eyes when I stepped onto the scales. I actually would get on and off and the on and off just to make sure they were working right. That make 13 pound total so far. I can't believe it, it feels great. I love the way I feel after I've exercised, it's like it empowers you or something. Over the weekend I decided it was time to clean out my storage room and I had found some clothes in there that I had actually put up to take to some of my cousins because I had outgrown them. After 13 pounds of fat gone I ca...

Peace, Quiet, Stillness and yet why can't I enjoy it..... It's Sunday morning and I have sent my family off to church is why... I am so suppose to be with them but after the last few day I know that I cannot sit through Sunday School and then morning worship.. My body for one is so sore and stiff it would never make it. I feel like a old lady( no offense to anyone out there but this is for the birds). Secondly I fall asleep at the drop of a hat and I believe that would be quite embarrassing. So I sent my Hubby and boys off this morning without me. I knew I had a great husband but he has really proved himself over the last few days (not that he had to). I had my hysterectomy on Thursday morning and so not to interrupt the boys schedules to much I got up early that morning and went over and had my mom drive me to the hospital. Donnie stayed home so he could get the boys off to school and he got to the hospital in plenty of time before I went back to surgery. He and mom were the f...

I'm amazed at the difference. So I finally got a new scale and I have actually lost a total of 17 pounds over the past 6 or 7 weeks. Some have wanted to see the difference and here ya go the top picture was taken in May at Eli's birthday party. The bottom picture was taken 3 days ago at Sea World with the boys. Boy am I glad I lost the weight and started exercising I never would have been able to do what we have done this week without having done that. The river walk, Sea World, The Natural Caverns, & The Wildlife Ranch. It was all really nice I'll post more picture of our adventure later. Love to all. Beverly!
