Bruce and I have an ongoing disagreement in our marriage. He saves things, and I throw them away. He has accused me of throwing away his ASU sweats (totally false) and his blue and purple striped Girbaud jeans (totally true.). He swore up and down that he was going to use them for a Halloween costume, but I know that's a lie. Anyway, he loves to be prepared for any circumstance, so he hangs on to things in case he "needs it someday." That day came for him. Many of you know of my ongoing cell phone crisis. It seems I can only use a phone for a few months before something terrible happens to it, and then I either buy one or bum one off of someone. But, after my fourth phone since January bit the dust, Bruce dug into his storage and came up with THIS:
Yes, this is my "new" phone. Bruce feels totally vindicated. "See," he says, "I knew we would need this someday. Besides, how old can it be if your sim card works in it? And I even still have the plastic cover!"
Me: I'm sorry, you have the wrong number. No, I'm certain, because you dialed 2008, and yet you've reached 1995.
*****
My sister-in-law lovingly pointed out that my phone doesn't even fit in the cell phone pocket of today's purses. I will do everything in my power to render this phone useless as soon as humanly possible. Meanwhile, Bruce basks in the warm glow of victory. Perceived victory, that is. xoxo- love you anyway, babe.

I still love you. You look good on that phone. I save it because I knew it wouldn't ever go out of style and chicks dig it (in the 90's)!
Tell me someone has taken pitty on you by now. Have you found a new phone yet? I have an old razor that Lani has tried her darnest to destroy...but seems to lack the skills Kiki has :)
