1. My cell phone is on the fritz. The battery doesn't hold a charge more than about 4 hours (less if I, you know, USE it). But when am I eligible for a new phone with the 2 year plan? August. I'm trying to hold out, by making sure to have the thing plugged in all the time at home, but man, August is so far away

You realize this is not locked? A public post?

1. If I were you, I think I'd be tempted to try to haggle the phone company into letting me get a new phone early. No guarantees that it would work, but I did manage to get my upgrade several months early because my Blackberry had died... again. (Battery started not lasting at all, it started randomly turning itself off and when it would come back on, half the battery life would be gone, even though it was fully charged right before... just... a mess.)

2. An hour and a half? Yeah, that's practically local! *says the girl who lives in BFE*

3. :D

4. Red! I haven't done red in so, so long! You're tempting me.

1. I checked online and apparently getting to June 1 is the key. I can at least get discounts on phones at that point. I've made it to Wed thus far! Just got to make it to Fri! (And that is the EXACT problem I'm having with my Blackberry.)

2. Hell, if they're in the same state as me or a surrounding state (although other end of TN might be a bit much), I consider that local. But I grew up with the understanding that you could drive to the beach in the morning, spend all day there, then come back the same day, when the nearest beach is 3.5 hours away.

4. I did the red! It's a dark, dark red, because dying one's hair brown means you have to transition into the red, but hey, I've got my red back! And I now have a hairdresser that knows what they're doing (gave him a picture, only had to say "razoring" once, and voila! magnificent hair AND he totally commented on how my hair is a hairdresser's dream).

Yeah, when my second one started doing the weird battery drain thing, I did a little research online (okay, I read the reviews on Sprint's website) and apparently it was a known issue. Hey RIM? This is why everybody's leaving Blackberry.

LOL! I grew up believing the same thing about shopping... it was nothing to drive to Dallas or Little Rock, shop for the day, and then drive back.

I saw the pics on Twitter! I love it!

Ooh...good luck with the romance. It sounds like you have two very good options. :)

[maveness]

They're options at least! LOL I'm hoping at least one will pan out. The eHarmony guy has a sense of geeky humor that I like.

Geeky humor is the best. That's how I knew I was compatible with Dragonhubby.
