Timelies all!
Mr. S's nursery school/daycare opened at 9:15, so things were starting to warm up when we left. It was still an adventure getting from the house to the car.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well, my phone showed up at 3:30 PM. I don't know why I'm so nervous about setting it up, billions of people have smartphones, and mine's not even a Mensa phone. I guess I fell pretentious, and my inner Puritans are sniffing and saying "You have a perfectly good phone, you're getting above yourself, girl."

Which phone did you end up getting, Connie?

A Galaxy Sky. It had good reviews on the Tracfone site.
I need to get a case for it now.

I have to strongly recommend a case, because my arrogance about the durability of my perfectly serviceable Moto G is what led to me dropping it on the tiled kitchen floor and shattering the screen.
You damn bet the iPhone has a case now. (I didn't pay a ton for it, because it's an SE, but I love it and I'm tired of buying phones.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am dying to activate my new phone, but I timed it all wrong since my account is pre-paid, and if I do it too soon, I'm just double paying.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Connie, please tell your Inner Puritans to stuff it from me. A smartphone is a useful and functional item; if it so happens that you can have a little fun with it, you deserve that too.

I got only 500 mb of data, so I'll be curious how I go through that. I'm trying not to go nuts with apps.

Also, tell your puritans to go to Five Below to get $5 screen protectors and cases, it'll make them happy. No, you aren't likely to get an otterbix or speck there, but something cheap and basically decent. Screen protectors especially.
I don't use it tons, but it's nice to have for jury duty or when I show up to early. And the camera is better.
