As many of you know, there was an incident with my phone last weekend. The problem became urgent as the backlight wouldn’t work on my phone and the alarm kept going off between 12 and 2 a.m. I almost threw it back in the washer to punish it. Steve switched the SIM card from my phone to his old phone and for about 5 minutes I thought the problem may have been solved. Until my phone rang and it was the goddamned Mario Brothers theme song. (How old is he?!) It got worse from there. The calendar back ups caused the phone alarm to start going off at all kinds of ungodly hours. One night at 3 a.m. it went off to remind me to tell my son to change his contacts. (Ya think I shoulda woke him up for that?!) And it appears I not only got my contact list, but I also inherited HIS entire phone book. I’m so going to call the Netherlands while he’s sleeping. And then Steve informed that he needed his phone back because he’s going to Europe and his Q phone doesn’t work in Europe. So, needless to say, I was brow beaten into getting a new phone.

I’m sure you’re all aware of how I loathe new technology, so I’m sure it will come as no surprise that I had several tantrums in the Verizon store. Steve really wanted me to get a Q like he has, but it is a well known fact that it sucks. I hate it. I can’t even figure out how to make a flippin’ phone call. I looked at the Blackberries but threw my hands up in disgust when I couldn’t figure out how to get a browser window up. Finally I found The V. I was able to navigate around without wanting to throw the phone (lucky for them those other ones were attached to the wall or I woulda gone Naomi Campbell on someone.) It has some cool features so I was pretty happy with it. It looks cool too:

After we got into the car, Steve looks at me and says, “I have phone envy…… Why are you pouting?” I whined, “BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE IT!!!”

I’m keeping my 650 phone close. Like a security blanket. Because the new phone is too scary to hold all alone. I think I might have to go take a nap now. All this manual reading and learning has exhausted me. Don’t call me, I’ll call you.
