No Phone Chronicles. Day 1

This may only last a day, it depends. I lost my phone yesterday... well I guess 2 days ago now (Dec 30) around 1 PM - ish. Now that I have searched my car several times each time hoping to find it, still nothing. I've search my boyfriend's house as well. The last place I remember having it was at Lowes. I was texting a friend and later after leaving Lowes I realized it wasn't in any of my pant or sweater pockets. I wasn't too alarmed because I figured I put it in my purse or something. Negative. Searched my purse 3-4 times no luck. Now I am back to my good ol high school days of using the home phone. It was sad that night with my BF dropped me off at my house I had to write his number on my hand, due to a lack of paper in my purse and a contacts list on my phone. Basically the only people that I can contact from memory are my mom's cell, her work, my sister's cell and my parent's home phone (and now my boyfriend). It's weird. I'll have to dig out my old address book that probably has a bunch of old numbers and numbers of people I haven't talk to in years for one reason or another. Tomorrow I am going to the AT&T store to see if a) I can get a replacement free of charge b) if my contract is elligable for an upgrade thuse free or nearly free phone or c) if I have to buy a whole new phone. If it's C it's going to be a problem since I'm pretty much broke from Christmas. I'm hoping for B if I have to wait a week or something then I'm going to try and do that. Thus the beginning of the No Phone Chronicles. Today has been a weird day mostly with it being New Years eve and not being able to text everyone happy new year instead I got to watch my boyfriend and his dad do it. Felt really awkward. We will see what the first day of the new year has in store for me. Happy New Year everyone.
