I'm moving up in the world...

So, here's what happened (without too much detail), 

One day last week, I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom and..... well, 

my (ancient) flip-phone fell from my back pocket into the toilet,

 the rest is history!

I've held off a L-O-N-G time on getting one of those new fan-dangled "smart phones", 

so after "the accident", I felt now was probably a good time to give-in 

and get-up-to-speed in the "phone department",  ha ha

Rick and I did a little checking around and decided to stay 

with our current phone provider, so I renew my contract and ended up with a smart phone. 

Here's the conversation with the Sprint employee...

Me: "I dont need anything fancy, I wont be downloading music or movies, I don't want to spend a lot of money, so just the "basic" smart phone will due"

Sprint lady: "If you're a MAC user you might like the iPhone 5C, it's only $35.00"

Me: "Really....35 dollars?"  OK!!!

Some facts about me and the iPhone...

~I am not glued to it all day! 

~I do not sit at a restaurant or public place playing with my phone 

while my husband sits across from me twiddling his thumbs. 

~I do not walk down hallways looking at my phone, oblivious to my surroundings.

~It stays in my purse at church (unless I'm referencing the Bible). 

~I have no audible bells or whistles for facebook or instagram notifications 

(I really don't want to be distracted with all that)

Things I have used it for that I couldn't with my flip phone.....

~Mobile coupons at Target....save $5.00 the other day.

 (I was proud of myself for figuring it out)  :)

~Looked up phone number for Sam's club to check on their hours, as I was running late at Walmart.

~Found the closest coffee shop in Winona with the phone GPS.

~Had some "facetime" talks with Gavin...so nice when I haven't seen him for a few days!

~It's been fun talking photo's with my new phone, I'm getting better figuring out all the options.

~Talk to text is the best thing since sliced bread... I speak into the phone, it types my message for me,

 ( I don't have to reach for my readers to type/read a text message... 

that alone is worth a million buck, but I only paid 35 dollars)

I'm still learning how to use this beast,

 so far it's a good thing  :)
