I didn't get nearly enough done this weekend... mostly b/c I was messing with Sprint the bulk of Saturday and half of Sunday.. but it was a good weekend nonetheless. :)
Friday, picked up In the Raw and headed to Eric's to hang and help pack. :) Then woke up bright and early to take him to the airport at 6:30am. I'm already ready for him to come back, but I think he's totally enjoying some needed relaxation time. Annnnd this whole him being gone thing is making me learn more about twitter since that's how we're communicating. :) Is there a good app for my phone (I dont have the iphone-will tell story in sec). Oh and also random but...he has a gift card to the Canebrake from watching his neighbors' house and I've heard guuhreat things so hopefully we'll try it when he comes back! Have you been there?
Anyway, Eric is officially missed here in T town. *sigh*
Saturday, I spent the whole day dealing with Sprint. The.whole.day. I went to the store at 1:30 to talk to someone. Emerged phone in hand at 4pm. Was supposed to "give it two hours" to let it connect to the network. It didnt. Called Spr*nt and told them I needed an CTM* ticket(?) b/c that's what the peeps at the store told me to do. Well, Andre the genius didn't get it and tried his own little fix it...in the way of DELETING my account accidentally. Yeah. He then tried to reinstate it which didn't work b/c I had an "outdated plan." (last year is outdated in Sp*int land). So, then he transfers me to account mngmnt w/0 telling me he did any of this. Brian (?) tried everything and finally got me a new plan (for more money) since my old plan is now gonzo. So at this point, I'm livid, but trying to be patient with Brian and keep saying things like "I know this isn't your fault, but this is unacceptable. My phone is now STILL broken and I've got an awesome more expensive plan??WHATTHEHELL?! " Then, he conferenced in a tech person to try to fix the initial problem with the internet I went to the sprint store for (wow, yes, this is officially 7:00pm by this point). I literally got ready for dinner while on the phone with the Sprint people on speakerphone.
So, tech person had me enter pound-number-number-pound...and my phone shut off and wouldnt go back on. She was like "huh... that's weird.." I finally said "Look, I'm cancelling my services. It's 8pm and I want to go to dinner b/c this has been 7 hours of this today..." Brian assured me a mgr would call me today to discuss waiving the fees to cancel. Guess what didn't happen. Yah. Sooo... more to come below...
Anyway, I got to Sara's Saturday night and she had a glass of wine waiting for me (she knew the phone sitch). I love her. hahaha... A few of us headed to Sonoma for pizza and girls night!
Annnnnd back to the phone issue. So, I woke up and started calling them. Re-explained the sitch for the zillllionth time. (Mind you, this whole time I was so polite. SO.POLITE.) Today, the girl was stupid though. For real. She was the ONLY one I was rude with b/c she was rude to me. Anyway...she said a supervisor would call me back. So that was it. Breaking point achieved. I got a copy of my bill (for my acct # etc) and headed to AT&T to buy an iphone and just deal with Sprint later. The supervisor called me on my way. I was said "For the most part your staff has been very helpful and tried to do what they could...but they couldn't do anything except make it worse. So, here's the sitch. *explained* I am en route to get an iphone and leave Sprint. If you can give me a solution, I'm all ears but I doubt you can. You have 5 minutes before I get there." She waived all fees to get me a new phone, waived me having to get a new contract and gave me a discount on my plan. FINALLY. Someone who can DO something. Jeezus! She was not authorized to waive fees for canceling my service. So, I opted to take her solution temporarily, but not without serious hesitation. And I want to keep my number if I change companies and I have to have an active phone to do that. So this is the best way...even if I switch this week or something.
And when I went to Spr*nt again today, the guy looked at my acct and said "Omg, what did they DO?" (cause he can see the notes in the file). Anyway, he also candidly told me they are willing to waive fees if I don't like this phone. Fair enough. So, I took this phone. If nothing else, I can wait out my contract a few more mos and leave without having to deal with this insanity. B/c that's what it was, people. IN.SANITY.
Yes, it's "berry" but only b/c it's supposed to have new software since it's a new model so wont eff up like my last one. (The new models are colors). If this phone so much as glitches, I'm out. I think I was beaten into submission this weekend. But at least I paid nothing and got a new phone and didn't leap from my balcony in the process.
I've been wanting a snap-front plaid button down! American Eagle had one and it sold out in two days! Wha?! I just happened to be browsing Forever 21 and saw this cute little number! For UBER cheap! YAY! (and got a cute necklace for 4 bucks, too). :) You have no idea how thrilled I am about this purchase! I cannot wait to wear it with my tall boots and skinny jeans! And I got some stuff on sale at Limited for my gig at the UW-since I'll have to dress up more. :)
Today, met up with Kristy and Marla at Tulsa Hills to shop for our Tool Academy outfits! Here's Kristy in her winner mocking smoking a cigarette.. her hoodie says "boom boom pow" LOL!
Here's what I ended up with is a leopard print dress. Yeah... I dunno about it. Now insert a major fake tan, blingy jewelry, fake hair and fake tats on both of us... I was thinking hot pink jewelry if I keep this. I still can't decide.. I don't wanna look skanktastic b/c I dont need that all over facebook-hello unprofessional. Sooo.. we'll see the final package and evaluate. :) I've been watching Megan wants a Millionaire to research... lol! I may end up at Forever21 looking for something else...
Please note her earrings will say "Baby Girl" LOL!!!!
Off to watch Kourtney and Khloe!! :)

yikes! How did you keep from going postal? I had the same sit with my old carrier and changed to Verizon. So far so good...
Are you going to get "baby girl" earrings too..ha
okay, there is lots i could say in regards to your phone and the baby girl earrings and how cute you are in these pics, but really, my mind can only focus on one thing right now: is that dude wearing a lycra spongebob shirt?!?
Sorry about your phone issue!!!! I too, HATE dealing with phone companies!! Sounds like you had a good weekend! Pretty pics :) That last outfit is GREAT! haha
It has to feel good to FINALLY accomplish something out of the nightmare situation. I always get excited when I don't have to have my husband talk to the supervisors and fix the mess myself - ha! Love your blog!
Give them back the phone (tell them you hate it), get those fees waived and RUN to the Apple Store!!! ;-)
