we're up to 3 now!

original post date 11/1/2008:

We were over at Mark and Kay's last Sunday and Kay fell in love with a new game Eric and I have on our iPhones called "Everest". Its a game where you have to find hidden items in a picture and its pretty fun. She also mentioned that her current cell phone was dying, and that their contract was up, so Eric and I proposed that she join our cell phone plan and get an iPhone. Cost would be what she is paying now, she doesn't use many minutes (nor do we) and she'll have her own iPhone (she'd pay the $199 for it). Mark was totally in favor of it so they were going to talk it over more and get back to us. Well, her phone completely died Monday so she came by to see an old phone we had, and then decided to go with the iPhone, so we went to the Apple store on Thursday night to get her all set up. My time at the Apple store back in July? 7 hours. Eric's time when we got him set up? 2 hours. Kay's time? about 10 minutes. And now we have 3 iPhones in the family and she'll start chipping in for her phone next month. I thought she'd be calling us by now with some questions on how to use it but she seems to have figured it all out already!

In other news, today we got up and out of the house to go to Kohl's sale. We still had gift cards to use, and were contemplating a Kitchen Aid mixer (because everyone gets one for their wedding, right?). Eric's parents have one and we were looking at the one we thought they had and it was more than we wanted to spend, so we decided not to take the plunge...While we were shopping for other stuff, we looked across the aisle, and who do we see but Mark and Kay! Too funny! Mark showed Eric the model that they have and it wasn't the one we were looking at; the one they had was more reasonably priced. AND, they have a 30% off coupon that is good later this week, so I think we're going to get one after all!

Eric starts his new schedule this week, sort of. He works his normal 9-6 schedule but on M, T, and W. He'll be off T, and F, and then start his new schedule next Sunday.

We're off to a Halloween party - promise to post pix soon!
