I must be honest, i've gone back and forth about deciding whether to share this story w/ you ladies. But i figured, this was our honest place and i'm going to! It's kinda funny/pathetic. So, yesterday, I decided I was going to buy a new phone. There is nothing wrong w/ my Droid -- i just wanted something new and looking back at it now, it was just a band aid to distract me from missing alli recently (i'm a ball of joy, aren't i??). I went to the verizon store in chester, wasn't sold on anything in particular and decided i'd continue to think it over. I went over to Costco and walked around there, got some stuff I needed, and then manned up and went to the cell phone kiosk. Confidentally, i decided to purchase the Droid Razor Maxx - $100 cheaper than the verizon store. I was pretty happy w/ my purchase and it was a fix for the moment. Get home, set it up, works great -- some things i wasn't thrilled w/ but chalked it up to not being used to the phone. This morning, I went for my last 2nd trimester doc appointment and on the way to the appointment, my mother calls me. I answered the phone and she can't hear me on her end; i can hear her just fine. I was like great "my mom's phone isn't working, i'm going to have to go over there and make sure everything is okay" (rita, you understand this). Called her cell -- nope! she still can't hear me. Fuck-- it's me. My phone doesn't work. I was highly annoyed, b/c this was the third of stupid things to happen to me in the past couple of days (Dryer is broken, i was electrocuted, and now phone is busted). Then I thought about it and laughed -- go figure i would try and make myself feel better w/ a fucked up phone. I returned that shit today and am keeping ole' trusty Droid X for a while. At least my account is back to having unlimited data :)
As we've all said -- i kinda feel better after sharing this story w/ you girls :) Thanks!
I'm really concerned about you getting electrocuted. Also you can come do laundry here!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd ps I've felt the same way.... I sent Allison a private fb message today. She's been heavy on my heart lately, love ya girl.
I sent a message too. I don't know why I do that, doesn't make me feel better--might actually make me feel worse. Apparently I like to torture myself :-/
ReplyDeleteElectrocution was fine; just a little zap!
Well, things happen in 3s and 7s, so hopefully this is it for you. I really wish I could have met Ali; she sounds like how I wished I was in high school (she sounds like she really was cool her whole life).
ReplyDeleteOh kara, alli would have absolutely adored you-- you two would have gotten along great. Kind hearted, but tell it like it is kind of people! :) Rita can attest to that too :)
ReplyDeleteAllison was my prodigy and my hero....I think about her everyday...I know this month is hard, but remember, don't get sad get awesome...Alli does not want you spending your days on earth miserable about her loss. After all, she gave you Christian to look forward too!
ReplyDeleteI just read your comments about her and broke into tears. I love you guys!
