Day Four of No Phone...

As the title would suggest, yes I am still without a cellular telephone. And yes it really has only been four days. It feels like a year. Such long days of isolation from the outside world. Although today, I sat with someone at lunch that I probably would've just waved at and moved on because I would've just gotten a text from someone that I could meet. It was nice, so being out of communication is making me more social. Instead of just texting Shaugh, I went by her place of employment to ask a question. Again, more social. The biggest problem is that I'm now completely oblivious to the time. I refuse to wear a watch for who knows why. If I stop you in the hall to ask what time it is, don't think I'm weird.

This whole episode spurred the most impulsive ebay buy of my life. Sure I've bought my
fair share of ebay auctioned items, but I've always shopped around and bid on the items with at least a few hours left. However, this particular item (a new phone) only had 2 minutes left. Yes two minutes. I quickly scanned the page and went to place a bid. *gasp* I wasn't signed in! I signed in to find that I then had 25 seconds left. I placed my bid and it was mine. Oops! Ebay will surely be the death of me, (by my husband) I can't stand to be outbid. My competitive side rarely comes out. These times are the exception.

Happy second day of school everyone. I will have to save that rant for another post. I don't expect it'll be too far out. Let the procrastination begin! Sometimes facebook just doesn't cut it.

I'm not gonna kill her. I promise. But she is right. She plays ebay like she plays poker. Just keeps bidding to get the other guy to give up. And she usually wins.
