Cell Phone DT's

I decided to skip Zumba today because my foot was still really bothering me. I think I must have bruised my heel some how the other day and every time I put weight on it, it hurts. So since I wasn't Zumba-ing I thought I would go on a bike ride instead. I came home, changed clothes, put my phone in my bra, key on my shoelace, helmet on my head, grabbed my bike and off I went! It was a really nice ride! I went across 23rd to the Prairie Park nature trail. Once I got to the pond on the trail I decided to stop and enjoy the view and check my phone. Brian has messaged me to let me know he got my message about going for a ride. When I tried to respond my phone freaked out. It said it was on "safe mode" and my H and C keys wouldn't work. NOT OKAY. I am so attached to my phone. I wouldn't even know what to do without it should it ever break. Last fall when my last phone crapped out I made sure I went less than 24 hours without a new one and hustled my ass to the nearest AT&T for a replacement. So today when this one started wigging out I cut my bike ride short and went straight home.

I immediately got online to see what I needed to do to turn off this "safe mode" business. Everything I read said the only way to fix it was to do a SD factory restore. I was not looking forward to doing a restore for fear that I would lose everything on my phone, but since it seemed like there was no other solution, I prayed and went for it. Everything went smoothly until I had to re-boot my MotoBlur account. When I tried to type in my e-mail address and password my phone was adding all sorts of extra letters. For instance I would type S and it would show "sdxctly." So weird. And since I'm such a freak about having my phone I hauled ass to Best Buy where I bought the phone to figure out what the hell was wrong. Unfortunately they couldn't help me since I did not buy their insurance when I got the phone, but they figured it was some sort of keyboard problem. So I headed to AT&T and wouldn't you know it as soon as I got to the counter and spoke to the lady my phone was working fine. Isn't that always how it goes? So I'm grateful to have a working phone and not have to wait for a replacement, but I'm also realizing that I need to calm the hell down when it comes to my cell. I mean I literally stopped everything I was doing to go get it fixed. Come on, it's not that serious. I have known life without a phone before and I survived. I know that I am probably not the only person who has reacted this way before, though. It makes you realize how reliant people are on technology now a days. One thing quits working and shit hits the fan. Sad really.

Anyway, I'm done talking about my cell phone crazies. I just wanted to add that I had the tastiest dinner tonight! While I was freaking out about my phone I failed to remember I was supposed to cook fish and potatoes for dinner tonight, and since Brian got home shortly after I got back from AT&T we decided to go out to eat. I had been wanting to take Brian to The Basil Leaf Cafe for awhile now and I'm so glad that's where we went! I first had The Basil Leaf this summer and it was fantastic. For those of you not familiar it is the restaurant inside the Phillips 66 at 6th and Kasold. It was soooo good! I had a chipotle corn tortellini thingy and Brian had a Thai BBQ spaghetti thing. Both super delish and affordable. I definitely recommend it to everyone!
