After long laughing at the lemurs who jumped off the cliff together when the iPhone came out, I (sigh) am joining them.

I built up reasons I needed an iPhone until I decided I really did need one. “I don’t get good coverage with T-Mobile.” “They just don’t make apps for other phones.” “I WAAAAANT one!”

I realize I never treat myself on this large a scale. Massages here and there, but technology? Never. I deserve it.

I ordered a refurbished 16gb iPhone for $100 (not bad).

My complaint with T-Mobile: I have been with them for about 5 years. They have a 24 month contract that renews whenever you do anything, include sneeze. So I have to pay not only the $200 cancellation fee for my line but also for Husband’s as we had a family plan. So $400 to leave T-Mobile. What’s with that?? I don’t get coverage in my house. I shouldn’t be penalized for it!

I plan to be AWOL while I play with apps. I can use a pedometer, hold a seashell up to my ear to hear the ocean, and pop bubble wrap. Where have you been all my life, iPhone?
