Putting my first cell phone to sleep

It has come. The day I've dreamed of for months. As of midnight, the cell phone i've had since Christmas 2003 has "expired." It was a mercy killing and I was with it at the end. It was HIGH time to let it go and acquire something that less resembled, well, a brick. Something with a flip-top would be nice. Something that doesn't start dialing 911 from my pocket as I lean against the sink to brush my teeth. You see, my cell is probably the most archaic one you could ever see in 2007. But I detest talking on the phone, so i've let it go till now. I'm not sure why in retrospect, but whatever. No big deal. It just wasn't a priority. But it was becoming more and more a nightmare to deal with...and equally a nightmare trying to explain to people why my phone wasn't "like the others." I made my final calls, used up all my minutes (oh, yes, it was PAY-AS-YOU-GO, it should be noted...fine by me), and now say goodbye to an era of my life. Kinda melodramatic, huh? It's true, though. I can't WAIT to get a new, smaller, more advanced phone...one i'm not mortified to use in public. JOY!

In other news, today was a MONSTROUS improvement over yesterday. WILDLY productive! Though i'm having a hard time grasping it's the last day of July...
