Another one bites the dust

I washed my iPod. Again.

You’d think I would learn my lesson and empty my pockets before I put my clothes in the wash. I have washed my cell phone twice too. Oi.

The last time I washed my iPod I let it dry for a few days to no avail. My friend Greenwoman gave it Reiki for a little while then instructed me to plug it in. It worked! (I am hoping I can bribe her with promises of chocolate or something get her to come over and perform miracles again.) If this doesn’t work though I now have this:

This is my new phone. It came to me through rather interesting terms. Let’s see if you can follow along. I have four phones on my account; mine, Princess’s, my mother’s and my soon-to-be ex husband’s. My daughter wanted above phone but her account was not due for an upgrade. Mine, however, was. Off to the AT&T store where I pay $59.00 ($50 of which will come back to me via a rebate on a Visa card) for the latest and greatest of the Sony Walkman phones for the Princess. Her phone was in pretty rough shape so we decided to make good on the $5 a month insurance we keep on her phone and get a replacement sent in. Her Sony was the one just down from the one shown above. I figure I’ll get the replacement and have a newer phone. Mine really was archaic but who cares? All I need it for is being available to children and texting.

So this call happened Friday morning and by yesterday the replacement phone showed up. This is what I expected to get:

And since these phones are no longer produced (or something like that) I got the newer version. Ain’t it grand. So see. Washing my iPod was okay because now I can load just as much music onto my phone.

I’m still pissed about the iPod though…
