Cell Phones

Mindy lost her cell phone right after Angus was born. At first we figured it must have fallen out, maybe at the hospital but then we remembered that we had heard an alarm on her phone in the other room when we were at home. So...we know that the phone is either in the house or perhaps has been gathered up with something and thrown out, which was quite frustrating. We gave it a few weeks for it to turn up but had no luck.

My cell phone was completely dead as well. I literally had 5 minutes of battery life. I also hated a lot of the features as well. I think I was the last person to actually buy a Razr model phone with good reason - they are JUNK. So off we went to the Sprint store to see what they could do for us.

Basically...they hooked us up! We both got the same phone model, a Samsung "Reclaim", made from 80% corn in some way and made with other environmentally conscious factors as well. So far so good. We are now both expecting Mindy's old phone to turn up but we are more than happy with the switch. The girls wanted something too: "It is not fair that you guys get something on Valentine's Day and we don't". When we started to remind them of the stuff they received for Christmas, I think they figured out that they had done OK.

Angus is now almost better. His cough is almost gone and so that is a huge relief. Found out that my contract here at Colgate is likely to run out at the end of April, so still 10 weeks but after that, it is looking quite unlikely for another extension. After almost 3 years of being local, I really cannot complain about it ending...but it will still suck to have to travel (possibly) again.
