I may finally have a cell phone within the week! It would be nice to not worry about being stranded, or about crashing through a guardrail and rolling a few times into a ravine and being trapped in the contorted chassis of my car with no way of calling for help. But I shouldn't get my hopes up. Apparently my dad has been obsessive-compulsively researching phone companies for the past year. We have been discussing all week that we have to make a decision between Alltel and Verizon, and tonight he sat on the computer researching for about three hours, then came back to me and said, "I think I have it narrowed down to two companies: Verizon and Alltel." I don't really know if we're getting anywhere. But this would definitely be a leap towards modernity in my house. I mean, we just got a microwave 3 years ago. And call waiting a year ago. Even Erin, who celebrates Christmas with cockfighting, has a cell phone. Any step is to be celebrated.
Today my lovely boyfriend, in an attempt to be sweet, told me that I was the reason the Egyptians invented makeup. Be still my heart.
