What I am going to do today

#1 Post by sunflower » Sun Mar 15, 2009 12:16 pm

What I am supposed to be doing: 10 loads of laundry (at least) and tackling my 5 page to do list to get the condo ready for selling.

On the plus side, I looked at my competition, those places were a mess! So sanding down and repainting the chair rail because it's not perfectly glossy might not be as necessary as I once thought. I just need it to be organized and clean so it's nice to look at.

So what I'm going to do...1) go to T Mobile and check out the prepaid phones for my mom. She never uses the phone on my family plan and I want to be free of that plan! If the prices are the same as online I will probably get one. 2) Go to Verizon and pick out my new Blackberry and assuming I was successful with # 1, buy my phone, switch my plan and be good to go! 3) Assuming 1 and 2 work, I guess I'll have to go have dinner with my mom so she won't be phone-less. She might choose to use one of those 11 minutes she uses each month today, if I deactivate her phone!

I thought I'd want a touch screen but the reviews weren't phenomenal. The LG Dare was the best rated Verizon phone but I believe I want an actual Blackberry. I think I will be getting the Curve, which a friend of mine just got and I fell in love with it yesterday.

I always fall in love with curves.....
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Phase 1 complete.

Went to T Mobile and got my mom her non fancy new Samsung phone, with 1,000 minutes which will probably last her through 2030. They are transferring her old number over to that phone, which takes up to 24 hours. Until then, I can't deactivate my family plan since her number needs to be active at the time of the transfer.

So tomorrow I will order my new Blackberry. I went to visit them all and try them out, and I think I am going with the touch screen storm. I like the bigger screen for web browsing. I read some reviews that said it was slow but I am perhaps not so technologically advanced to notice it, it seemed fine. I'll take a little slow for having a screen that's double in size of some of the others. And since I don't have a blackberry now, I'll get used to the touch screen instead of keys...I've never had either so I'll just learn on touch screen. With free overnight shipping I should have the phone by Wednesday at the latest, in time for me to bring it to Vegas and finally have something to occupy my time at the airport. I will have to rejoin Facebook now!!
