Apparently, cell phones don't like sweet tea....

Can you believe that?!  Of all things.  ;)  On Friday afternoon, I was sitting in my car talking to a client on the phone (at least I was safely parked!).  When I went to flip the phone shut, it slipped out of my hands and sank to the bottom of my super-de-duper-size cup of iced tea that I had in my console.  Submerged would be a good word I think.  Soaked.  Waterlogged.  Ruined.  And such a waste of a good cold glass of sweet tea, too!!!  Needless to say, I've been having phone issues all weekend, so it's off to the Verizon store I go.  I don't think I've *missed* any voicemails; they just buzz in several hours after the calls actually come in.  Nice.  Hmm, maybe I should get the cell phone insurance plan this time, eh?!

In other breaking news, I'm digging my way out of my Christmas-session proofing cave, and I have several sessions to blog about this week!!  My last mini-session date was this morning -- and again this evening -- in downtown Clearwater.  Coincidentally, this was the morning that VP-nominee Sarah Palin came to our little town.  (I wondered if she'd have liked to jump in on a quick mini-session with the family?!  LOL!  I sure would've loved to get my camera on her sweet little baby.  :)  :)  :) )
