my cell phone began dying today. the piece inside that connects to the charger was loose and fell out sometime between yesterday and today, which meant my phone couldn’t charge up. i was down to one power bar, so i figured it was a perfect opportunity to get a new phone. 🙂

we thought we’d have to pay the full price plus the fee for not getting a plan, since we’re in the middle of our 2-year contract, but it turned out my number was the primary number and it had qualified for an upgrade. it’s amazing how things work out sometimes. so i am now the proud owner of a silver motorola razr for only $80.00. woo hoo. this phone is so cool. it has voice dialing, so i can record someone’s name in the address book for their number and when i say it the phone will call them. fantastic. i can also put a picture with someone’s address book entry, and the picture will pop up when they call. that’s cool too.

my next plan is to get a bluetooth so i don’t have to hold the phone all the time when i’m in the car. i hate doing that. it’s distracting and dangerous. it’s so nice to be able to justify anything.
