Washing Machine+Tide+Downy+Blackberry= Sad Carrie

On Thursday morning, I got up and decided I was going to have a productive morning. I started our with a little yoga on the Wii Fit then took the dogs for a nice 30 minute walk. (By the way...it was freezing outside!) When I got back I folded a load of laundry, put one load in the dryer and started another load...wow so productive right? Well after my shower, getting ready, packing my lunch, etc I was heading out the door when i noticed i couldn't find my phone. I looked and looked and then it hit me..."NOOOOOO...i bet i left it in my sweatshirt, which is now in the washer." Needless to say I was correct and found my poor little Blackberry Curve in the washer...full of water and completely destroyed.

It is funny how we today become so dependent on these technological devices. I mean on my cell phone I can check my email, text, call, surf the Internet, get directions, etc...how crazy? I remember the day when my parents had a bag phone and that was the coolest thing around. I actually remember showing it off to my friends because very few people actually had one. Then we progressed to the StarTec's...a plain black flip phone...no memory...no text...no phone book...nothing but black screen and red numbers. Wow ...and that was only 9 years ago. Pretty scary to know what will be around 9 years from now right?

There is a great light at the end of the sad Blackerry tunnel called insurance! It only cost you a few dollars a month and for people like me it pays off! Shortly after work you can find me at the Verizon Wireless store getting a replacement...until then it looks like email will actually have to be checked on a computer...haha.
