really!?!?

so i have this great new cell phone...got it about a month ago, after 2 years of the cell phone from hell.  its a really great flip phone...takes movies and everything.  i love it.

so i got back from being out all day, gave piper dinner, gave her a bath, read her a book, put her to bed around 6:45...the usual routine.  then, because i didn't have a chance to go on a run this morning, i got ready to go on a run.  since there were a pile of clean clothes on the stairs with my running clothes in it, i decided to just take of my clothes and change right there at the bottom of the stairs because it was easier....at the same time my mom came in the room to put some laundry in the wash, so i said...oh, here are my clothes.  thanks mom!

went out on a run...which was actually really great and i probably could have gone for another mile if i wasn't afraid of being outside in the dark (yes, i am from new hampshire, and i know i shouldn't be afraid of such things, but what can i say.).  i think the run went so well because i was afraid that i was going to be attacked by a bear the whole time, so the adrenaline kept me moving.  but seriously...running through the woods when the sun is setting is scary.  also, i swallowed a bug.  blagh.

got back from my run, got some gatorade, spilled some on the floor, wiped it up, went outside and walked around, stretched, came inside, decided to go down to camp to make beds so i didn't have to do it tomorrow morning, looked for my cell phone so that i could make a quick phone call first..........where is it?  oh no.  its not in the diaper bag.  its not in my room.  it was in my shorts.  my shorts are in the washer.  oh no.  yup.  i washed the only cell phone i have ever liked, and its probably ruined.  i of course have no insurance on it.  nooo...i'm too cheap for that.  also, i've never needed insurance on any of my other phones (all of which i hated, except for that one that made the cool noise when you opened and closed it...).

so.  my poor little phone was sitting under a heat lamp for 15 mins until i read something that said don't do that....right after i read something that said DO do that.  anyways.  now its in a baggy with rice...hopefully drying out.  if this doesn't work, i guess i'll have to switch back to my old phone.  also known as...the worst cell phone on the planet.

and it didn't make me feel any better when i read an article that said that 2000 people wash their cell phones every day (mostly men).  now i'm just lumped in a group with 1999 other idiots of the day.
