I decided yesterday afternoon that it was time to upgrade from my old phone (had it for over 2 years and they don’t make them anymore), so I treated myself to a shiny new Sidekick Slide and I’m loving it so far. I wouldn’t ordinarily drop so much $$ on a phone, even with the $100 in-store rebate, but I got another little tax refund this week and I really needed an upgrade and this has all sorts of features that will come in handy for me, including a better calendar that will actually remind me of important dates and a little section where I can write notes to myself and locate them easily. For those of you who don’t know me well, I can’t remember crap and am constantly writing myself little sticky notes or emailing info to myself. Now I can just enter it into my phone and pull it up super quickly and not have to sift through dozens of stickies and such. So exciting! Next up, I need to figure out what to name it because we all know that every little toy needs a fun little name.

Edit: I have decided to name my lovely new phone “Chuck” in honor of my current obsession with Chuck from Gossip Girl.
