Death of the Blackberry

As you remember my earlier blog I had decided to just use the sucker as a telephone and forget all that other stuff. Well, guess what, while I was in Texas it kept dropping calls, wouldn't ring, couldn't access the contact feature, etc. Even Stacy could not get it to work properly. So when I got home I went directly to altell to get a different phone (one preferably that would work). Well the time had expired meaning that they couldn't return it. I knew this but I needed a phone that would work.
The young man asked me what he could do for me. I told him I hate this phone and it doesn't work properly. He took it and fooled with it and told me it was working properly and they couldn't return it. I told him that it doesn't work right for me and I hate it. He again told me they couldn't return it. This kept up and kept up...everytime I said something he would tell me they couldn't return it. I told him I understood that but I need a new phone. He again said they same thing as above. I told him I hate the sucker so bad that all I really felt like doing was throwing it at the wall (which was above his head). His response never changed. I finally grabbed the dang thing out of his hand and asked him if he was going to sell me a new phone. He still said the same thing. So I then asked him what it would cost me to break my contract with them. He ended up going to his manager and then I was asked in. She told me she didn't like the way I was talking in front of the other customers (really? duh). I explained why I was so angry because no matter what I said he said the same thing. I told her I couldn't understand how he could interpret "are you going to SELL me a new phone?" to me expecting them to let me return the blackberry. She apologized with well he's young and we really don't want to lose your business.
I bought a new phone that I'm very happy with. I still have the blackberry but I had them kill it! They told me I could probably sell it for $150 to some college student but for now that's not high on my priority list. THE BLACKBERRY'S DEAD and I'm doing fine!!! lol

Moving?

First off I want to apologize that I've been to busy to pay much attention to blogging, (reading and writing). I ended up going down to the kids' right after dad's funeral. I was there for a couple weeks and made some life-changing plans. Most of you probably already know but just in case anyone doesn't know....I'M MOVING to Texas. But...the reason for the ? mark behind moving in the title is because I haven't been approved by the apartment complex yet. The rent is income-based so they have to verify that I don't have more than what I told them. (and I don't).lol Waiting is stressful for me because so much hinges on the approval...giving notice here, changing my social security to new bank, making arrangements for a mover and the list goes on!!!! Now faction into that...I am a very inpatient waiter anyway, when I decide I want something, I want it yesterday!

My new home will be within a mile of Stacy, Sherri, and Elizabeth. Yippeeeee! It is a new gated senior community, single story. The apartments have granite countertops, a granite computer desk, laminated wood flooring, pedestal sink and walk-in shower, kitchen and bathroom pantries, frost-free refrigerator freezer with ice maker, built in microwave, dishwasher and lots of kitchen cabinets, also bedroom has large walk-in closet. They have connections for washer-dryer hookups and rent the washers and dryers...it might sound strange to some of you but I am so excited that I will have a washer and dryer again after 10 years of not having them. It also has vaulted ceilings.

The clubhouse or common area that I will have key remote for entrance 24 hours a day has a fitness center, hot tub, game room, arts and crafts room, theater, library with 2 computers. There is also a swimming pool. I am sooooooo excited!

BUT....seems like there is always a but, doesn't it? This leaves baby sister here without me and this will be hard on both of us. We've been so close for going on 5 years even though we didn't always see each other that often but we talk almost every day and we'll still have each other at the other end of the phone. She is happy for me that I will be closer to see Elizabeth growing up.
The other side of the coin is that my move will put me closer to middle sis (please no comment to the word middle lol). I will be less than 3 hours away form her, that's close enough for even a day trip.

Anyhow...now you all know what's going on in my life. I need to get off here because my packing helper (Michelle) will probably be here within an hour. I am getting rid of everything that I cannot manage by myself after my move.
PLEASE PRAY THAT I GET APPROVAL VERY SOON!!! LOVE YOU ALL!

Jackie's 15th birthday

This post sure surprised me!!! While reading "My first kiss", I'm thinking "I don't remember this....I don't remember being at your 15th birthday party, a best friend Terry nor her brother Phil". So I was very perplexed when reading this.
Then it hit me!!! When you turned 15, I was 19....married, pregnant, and not living at home anymore. I don't know who that masked Kathy impersonator was, but it wasn't me lol.
