New gadgets!

My cell phone has been dying for a while now. Sometimes the battery charges. And sometimes, it just ... doesn't.

The battery used to fall out, but Keith solved that with an attractive piece of duct tape, slapped across the back of the phone. Yup, the phone's getting old.
We'd talked before about getting new phones, but that would mean signing another 2-year contract, and we didn't really want to commit.

But a couple days ago, the battery wouldn't charge. Again. And all of the tricks that had worked in the past failed us. On Keith's initiative, we went to the local Radioshack, signed a new 2-year agreement (which, to be fair, is the same monthly rate and better terms than what we'd been doing), and walked out with two shiny new phones.

It takes pictures! It can text! But, most importantly, I can charge it. Something I hope never to take for granted again.
