It could be intoxication from the “new cell phone” fumes or the exhilaration of opening a brand. new. box. But I couldn’t be more excited about my new pink motorola razr. I found it on eBay Express in my effort to find a phone that doesn’t drop every call I have. So we’ll see. My reception definitely seems to be better than before but I’m going to have to investigate further.

This is all in attempts to make a decision to stay with T-Mobile when my contract is up. I have spoken ill of T-Mobile for many months but I do have to say when I went in today because my battery was acting a bit strange, the woman helping me was so nice and swapped the battery at no charge. How cool is that!

Oh and check out the handmade cell phone charm I made to match!

I’m currently watching Lawrence of Arabia; an incredibly long movie. I just got to the intermission and I’m 2 hours and 25 minutes in. I was going to knit, ball yarn, something, but I have been so tired today I ended up taking a nap. So I’m off to find dinner and hopefully perk up enough to do something productive for the rest of the day.

I had several errands to run today. A few fabric stores for a project, Target for a bridal shower gift and Trader Joe’s for some odds and ends. It turned out I didn’t find anything at the fabric stores and I only got the bridal shower gift and a mug for a friend’s graduation gift from Target. Once I got in line and the cashier started bagging my items, I remember about the reusable Whole Foods bags in my trunk. Shoot! I should’ve brought it in. But I tried my hardest in a pinch to reduce by asking that only the mug was bagged (the other gift was boxy and clunky and I probably would’ve dropped the mug). So two plastic bags down to one. I’ll count that a half reduce point.

Then I ventured over to Trader Joe’s and I remembered to grab my reusable, 100% recyclable bag and throw it at the bottom of my basket. That worked out great. As I was checking out, the cashier was able to grab it and throw everything in. Yay for reusing! one green thing accomplished. Now I just have to remember to grab the bag more often.
