Sad Face

Anyone who knows me knows that my cell phone is attached to my hand. I am never without it and it is my main means of communication.

Now, imagine me when I realized that I had no idea where my phone was. It was panic. It was despair. It was like having a limb removed.

I realized on Sat morning that my phone was not in my purse like it should be. I went and searched my coat pocket, but it was not there. I searched my car. Not there. Searched the snow surrounding my car. Not there. Went to the gas station where I stopped before coming home. Not there.

I tried to call it. Battery was dead. I gave up. Well, thats not totally true. I searched the snowbank a few times. I searched my car a few more times. I searched the chair that my coat had been on. I stuck my hand into the cushions. Gross.

I started to look for phones on ebay. I figured I could just get another sim card and life would be fine. I mean, I was looking for a new phone anyway. I just didn't think I'd HAVE to get a new phone. There is a really cute pink (yeah, I know... but I really think it's cute!!) Nokia phone, the 6111, that I have been eyeing for a while. But it's like, $100 before shipping. And I don't know if I should buy stuff from Hong Kong. Is that okay? I don't know.

I looked at Rogers. I love the Nokia phones, they have proved quite awesome the last couple I have had. But they didn't have anything by Nokia I overly loved, so I looked at a Sony one. It seriously does everything imaginable. It counts my steps! And it plays music. And lights up to different people. I could put music on it and only have to take one thing with me biking. And it's pink.

I don't know why I'm so interested in a pink phone. It sounds amusing to me.

I searched the gas station again this afternoon, still nothing. I bought the salt we needed for our driveway, came home and my dad went out to sprinkle it around. When we got to the bottom of the driveway, he bent over and picked something up. Asked me "are you still looking for your phone?" and held up something.

It was my phone, in about 3 pieces and smashed to smithereens. *insert sad face here*

I mean, I'm happy I know where it is. I was pretty sure it was smashed somewhere. But I mean, now I really do have to find another phone and thats just a pain. The really nice thing is though, that I should be able to use the same sim card from the phone I had, and I had backed up all my phone numbers onto it not too long ago. Whoo!!!

Now starts the question.... do I buy the phone off ebay for about $130 and not have to worry about the Rogers connection fee and all that, or do I go to Rogers and get the phone there for $130 (thats phone and connection fee) and put my $50 gift card that I have toward the cost??
