Tumbling

My cell phone is acting up. It gives me the "white screen of death" then it won't turn off. Eventually, we somehow push the buttons just right and it's off. After pushing
"END" again; it starts it's starting song and reads "SANYO", promising me that it is now ready to continue it's work. But.... then when the song is over I have half a screen or it has strange lines all through it.

Good news is.... I did eventually get it to turn back on with a working screen. So, I thought I had better write down all of the phone numbers out of it. I sure don't want to look like a stupid teenager that loses their cell phone down the port-a- potty and then later can't call anyone because they don't know any numbers.

Or a stupid 37 year old housewife/paper girl who only knows how to hit the number 2 on her keypad because I, I mean, she doesn't know what her husbands cell number is without speed dial.

I am moving along just fine coping the numbers from the contact list... my sisters, my moms, Krispy Kreme, about 10 coaches numbers, Childrens Mercy, Ben's girlfriends, $2 theater... then I come to

Michael LaBarge..............................................

I just stared at it.

I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Michael LaBarge..............................................

I tried to will myself to move on. Reality is he is dead. I mean, I am not a dummy. But........

There I sat just staring....

Michael LaBarge..............................................

It was have a full blown "Tumble" (as my aunt calls them) and cry or add his name to my list. (It would only be a small appetizer for my denial)

So, I did what any reasonable-well-adjusted-feet-on-the-ground women would do.... I added his name and number to my list.

Michael LaBarge 816-678-5456

I am happy with the idea because now I have an "in" into the great unknown... I think after the girlfriend comment I am going to need it!
