…To my new baby.
You see…boyfriend had promised a curve for my birthday. He and I were going to go halfsies via T-mobile but while I spent the day sitting in a workshop about clinical comparative effectiveness. Which if you don’t know what it is, you don’t want to because it would take me a whole day just to describe it to you.
Instead, I got out of my workshop today around 4 (whats up skipping the closing remarks and the final q&a) and ended up walking up to Gallery Place. It was there that boyfriend told me he had spoken to someone at AT&T on the fone and did I want to consider a refurbished Curve for $50? Well….no. I’m greedy and superficial and I like being materialistic.
So after hanging up with him to have him meet me so we could go see the Colbert Portrait at the National Portrait Gallery before they take it down on April 1, I booked it up to the AT&T store and had one of the better customer service experiences of my shopping career. I mean, it helps when you bond with them because you have the same birthday and you mention your possible purchase will be a birthday present from your boyfriend. You can imagine my surprise when the total turns out to be about $100 less than it was supposed to be. This does not include the mail in rebate which may or may not have made our purchase today…well…free. Free birthday present from boyfriend?? Oh hells yeah. April 2008 my friends? Is going to be a great great great month.
One item on the wish list…check. Now if only I could work on that raise…. I think I might treat myself to something on my list, but I should probably wait till after NEXT WEEKEND!!!!! Yep…TWELVE DAYS!!!!!!! *squeeeeeeeeee* Yes. I squee. I’m really five when it comes to my birthday and making sure the whole world knows about it. Hear that world?? IT’S ALMOST MY MOTHER F*CKING BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! (for those of you who knew me in college…you’ll appreciate that)
I am oh so very behind in bloggy world…who knew that having a life would detach me. But alas, I have not NOT failed Blog365 yet. Cause I? Am awesome. But i am catching up on my google reader which is out of control and considering the next two days are going to be ridiculous at work…I don’t see it letting up any time soon.
Tell me what I’ve missed gals (and guys)??

Nothing in my life… but i wouldn’t know about others because I’ve been a terrible blogger. It’s just too overwhelming once I get behind!
Fabulous phone though
Cute phone! Welcome to the crackberry club! Do you have blackberry messenger on there? If so, you should add me
I’ll give you my contact info if you want it.
You missed a pretty fantabulous concert on my end. Other than that, nothing too exciting happened.
Happy Birthday and cute phone. I want the pink Blackberry Pearl, thats gonna be awhile though.
I am also behind in blogging due to new job.
Congrats on the phone! And happy almost birthday!
Fun present! And way to go for getting it free.
what a SWEET birthday gift!
Hooray for the great birthday gift!! And free!!! I have serious Bberry envy.
I have a Blackberry curve and I love it. Let me warn you of something though…I have been mega-happy with my service at AT&T, including their sympathy when I recently lost my beloved ruby curve and had to replace it (hotel found it the same day I received the new on in the mail and AT&T accepted and paid for the postage for the return!).
Oh, and I was told that they don’t insure BB – but check on that because if they do, it’s worth it and you can only do it 30 days after purchase.
Okay, back to my warning…the rebate people will try to f you every which way. Make sure you keep copies of what you send and perhaps, even keep the box until you get the money. They screwed with my hubby and he sent them proof that he had sent the correct information and only then, would the send the money. They did the same thing to me and I had the proof to send in, but they emailed me around Christmas time and I was supposed to have contacted them within 5 days or the offer expired. I’ve been told that they purposely do this in order to cut down on the amount of valid rebates….so keep an eye on that!
Hello pretty pretty pretty thing…
I cannot wait to get my new phone for my bday!!
Hooray for Birthdays!
