When it rains it pours! Or at least when one person gets a new cell phone in our family the other is soon to follow. That's right we have owned in the time we have been married, which is coming up on the two year mark, is 12 cell phones. This past round of casualties were taken out by a wash machine and one was actually stolen at a park, the person who stole it even had the nerve to pick up the phone and then hang up on me.
The reason I write this relatively embarassing blog is because Nersey and I are now lacking your contact numbers. The phonebook features has ruined us on memorization. Please don't be upset or angry with us if we haven't called you in a while, it's more like we have been staring at our phones trying to will you into calling us so that we can save your number off our Caller ID logs. Though we have saved some numbers and a few were backed up on our provider's server, we still need your calls to ensure future calls from us. As for the fact that 10 cell phones have been lost under our care, I blame the manufacturers. They don't make a better product because they know stuff like this happens and they anticipate that it will, so you could say we are just really good customers. I mean really good customers. Here is a million dollar idea, a waterproof cell phone, one that could take a diet coke bath like Nersey's friend Lizzy's phone did or because it is dirty go for a round in the spin cycle and be just fine. I am just saying it seems like a good selling point, but alas my conspiracy theory doesn't allow me that premis. No cell phone company sits around and says; "hey lets make a phone that is so durable that no one will ever have to buy another one", it just doesn't happen. As for now it is on us to keep a better eye on our cell phones. But please give us a call, make us feel popular, and most of all use this as an opportunity to ensure a call from us - when your one of the few numbers we have, your going to be called often. If that is a bad thing, then make sure others call to ease your pain.

To be fair this cell phone count started when we were dating so that would be FOUR years not TWO! I admit that cell phones tremble at the thought of either Cookie or I becoming their new owner. I have got to admit that Kenneth is probably watching up in heaven and trying to negotiate his way into more responsible parents. Take comfort little man we never forget The Beans.
I think Liz's cell phone problems are due to the owner being clutzy and not the cell phone manufactuer.
