mindi gets a new phone after losing hers. (yes again.)

yeaaaaahhhh. i've had rather bad luck with cell phones over the years. i've dropped them in sinks, toilets, pools, and hot tubs. i've dropped them on driveways, parking lots, bathroom floors, and pool decking one too many times to count. i've left them in stores, restaurants, people's homes, hotel rooms, & movie theaters. i've even lost my cell phone in my car for 3 days, only to find it wedged waaaaaaaaayyyyyy under the seat, dead as a doornail.

i guess you could say i'm a bit careless. or A LOT careless. i try not to be, but for some reason unbeknownst to my poor husband, i cannot seem to keep a phone for longer than 18 months (and that's doing really well).

i lost my phone when we went to "ka" in las vegas 2 weeks ago. i just got the replacement today, and let me say this: if you think you could live for 14 days without a cell phone, i'm here to tell you: you CAN NOT!! it has been ridiculous the number of ways it has impacted my life from the little itty-bitty things to things large and in charge.

here's chandler programming my new, cute green phone that she picked out for me specifically because it had a flip out keyboard. it's pathetic that she knows more than me and can do it 5 times as fast. i've just decided to harness that information and make her work it for me.

i am grateful for my new phone and in an effort to keep track of it, i thought that utilizing packing tape might be the best way:
wish me luck!
