Slippery Hands!

April 18: Matt and Sharon decide to get new phones
April 22: Matt and Sharon's phones arrive on the door step (we actually got 4 phones instead of 2 but that's a different story)

April 23: New phones are activated and Sharon has one goal

DO NOT DROP PHONE!

April 24: Sharon comes up with a clever idea to put a ticker on her blog for how many days she can go without dropping her brand new phone.

April 25-28: Sharon has a busy weekend and does not have time to put ticker on blog but is still very excited about her clever idea.

April 29: Sharon gets out of Laura's car and time suddenly turns to slow-mo. The phone jumps out of Sharon's hands and she juggles her newly prized possession knowing that her goal may already be broken after only 5 days. After 5 horrifying, excruciating seconds of the phone tossing up and down in the air it finds its way to the pavement and bounces once, twice, THREE times before finding a final resting place right behind the car tire. Now the beautiful accessory has 3 terrible scars that I will have to live with for the next 2 years.

Such a sad day!

I hate dropping my cell phone, but am always happy when it works.

lol! You sound like me. I got a new phone too, btw. I haven't dropped it yet, but I don't really use it that much bc I haven't really figured it out yet...beyond green=answer and red=hang-up.

I hate dropping my phone! I'm like Renae...I got a new phone, but basically only know how to call/answer and receive/write texts. I'm sure it does other cool stuff. Remember when phones were just phones?

I did it. I dropped my phone...It seems to be okay...except I couldn't get it to call home a couple of times yesterday...but that might be just me. Don't tell Mike, but I am thinking about getting my old phone back out and using it again...then I will just pretend with my new one whenever he's around.
