#313 my new toy, talking to T and hoping for fun in the sun

Guess what? I got my very own cell phone this weekend. I've been carrying a phone, but it's from work and I always felt bad when I took a personal call on it. MT was having an issue with his phone - he washed it and it didn't work anymore - but AT & T wouldn't sell him a cheap phone with the same phone number, so we switched service providers and I decided to get myself a phone. It's not fancy, it's just your basic phone. MT was toying around with the idea of getting an iPhone, but why? it's a cool toy, but nothing we really need.

The reason I went ahead and got a phone for each of us is because I'm thinking of cancelling the land-line. I haven't done it yet though. Wouldn't it be strange not to have a home phone? A lot of people I know don't have a land-line. Maybe I'll "cut the cordless" next week.

Things have been good around here. T has been playing his face off after school with his friends. MT and I are happy that his friends come over here and that he plays outside instead of playing video games all day long.

Last night T and I had a really great conversation about growing up and changing. He was sitting on my lap and just chatting away. It's true that he's getting a bit big to sit on my lap comfortably, but I sure wasn't about to say anything. I just savored the opportunity to listen and talk to him. I think that he has a pretty good head on his shoulders and I'm hopeful that he will make good choices in his teenage years.

We're looking forward to spending time with our friends Rob and LA in Las Vegas this weekend! LA and I always joked about how our favorite day is the day before the day before you leave. We like saying, "We're leaving the day after tomorrow!" I'm not sure how that came about, but she sent me an email today proclaiming that today was our favorite day and I knew exactly what she was talking about.

I probably won't write until we return from our mini-break, so happy weekend everyone!
