Sailing Along the Life of Single Parenthood

Happy Weekend

I’m rebelling and staying in the bed this morning.  Yes, I will pay as when I get up I’ll have to go ninety to nothing to be out of the house and getting the girls to their practices, but I couldn’t sleep last night so I’m tired.  I’m not sure what was wrong but I was wide awake – it was sort of that feeling you get when you take diet pills and your brain and body just go on and on and you can’t settle except I didn’t take any medication of any kind to wire me up.

Today I’m going phone shopping after the girls have softball and play practice. I’m excited. I’ve been looking at my provder’s website at phones and drooling.  The real question will be what kind of discount they’ll give me because I can’t afford much, but I don’t want a “cheap phone” either.  I have become really spoiled with my current phone and couldn’t imagine going back.  What are my criteria? I want a touch screen and a QWERTY keyboard.  I currenty have a Palm Treo, but all of a sudden it doesn’t have a signal most of the time.  I’m not sure what happened, but about a week ago I was in the middle of a conversation during my conference period and all of a sudden it just cut out – no signal.  I always have full bars at work.  Then that evening I didn’t have ANY signal at home. Ok, that signal comes and goes a lot, but not totally. Even at my worst points, I usually have one bar – enough to talk.  Now occasionally a signal blows in and I’ll get like 20 text messages at a time, but then the signal is gone just as fast and so I can’t reply to anyone.  So basically my phone is useless.

I’m with a smaller cell phone provider and don’t have a lot of options for phones.  I’d love an iPhone or the VUE, but neither are options for me. I think I have my heart set on a HTC TYTN2.  It looks like the most awesome of my choices.  Wish me luck on finding one in stock and hoping I’ve had my current phone long enough to get a discount on it.

Have a good Saturday!

My Palm is Already Gone :(

I was so excited when I purchased my Palm Treo 680 over the weekend, but after fighting with it for 3 days, I took it back yesterday.  :(   I now have a temporary phone (a Razor) to use until the Cellular One store receives a new shipment in and they can replace it.  I really started falling in love with it so I’m missing it big time already, but while it was working great as a PDA, it would disconnect from the phone network and refuse to reconnect.  This meant I had no phone service – which scared me as I was worried to death of having an emergency!! 

I was checking out Palm’s website though and they have a new Palm coming out soon that wifi’s and looks awesome!!  Also saw that educator’s get a 25% discount with them so I’ve already told Becka that she will likely get this 680 in the near future and I’ll be upgrading…I have a feeling, I’m going to LOVE the ability of a PDA and phone in one!
