One Purchase Down
This afternoon I finally got around to buying my new phone, the Nokia 6682. Since Cingular stopped carrying it both in their stores and on their site (stupid Cingular…), I was going to get it from a online dealer that Nokia links to from their site. Well, the issue there was that they couldn’t only extend the contract on my line, it would have to be done for all the lines on our account. I considered getting another phone, but there isn’t yet a really good “replacement” that Cingular carries for the slot that the 6682 filled. I then turned to eBay and was just going to get one there, but someone contacted me on a cell phone forum that I’m a member of and offered to sell me his (almost) new 6682 that he used for a couple of days but couldn’t get used to. Short story (and you’re all wondering why I didn’t just start with this from the beginning), I spent $150 and will have a new cell phone arriving at my house next week, and I get to keep my upgrade from Cingular so I can pick up yet another phone next year at a discounted price if I so wish.
Tomorrow is the first playoff game for HP, and it should be interesting to see how well we do. Apparently McKinney North lost the past two weeks because they’ve been preparing for our game, so everyone is expecting it to be pretty difficult. Depending on whether we win or lose (and if we win, the game day next week), we may or may not go up to my grandparents’ house in Arkansas for Thanksgiving. We used to either go up there or take a vacation somewhere with them every Thanksiving, but for the past 2 years I’ve had football (or at least the possibility of a game which made planning a vacation difficult).
