It's official ... I am Kimberly Kanter McBroom - the case of the missing cell phone

After an hour and a half of waiting (standing) in line at the social security office, number '70' was selected and I became a McBroom.  I got so excited that I wanted to call my hubby and tell him the good news; but alas, I lost my cell phone last weekend and was unable to call/text/email/etc....

The cell phone missing thing: is not a big deal! Surprised you, didn't I? Many of you dug through your purse/pocket and "felt" that your cell was near just thinking about the loss of my cell. I thought I was going to freak out, but the list of the most inconvenient parts about not having my cell phone is as follows:

1.  The time - I don't own one watch, at least not one that I can locate. Thank God for the microwave.
2.  My alarm clock -- the phone did it all. Now I need to find my college alarm clock and see if it still works.
3.  Email - Thank goodness there are at least two computers within 15 feet of me at all times.
4.  Text messaging - it's a bummer!  I IM/Skype chat all day at work, so I feel 'connected,' but my friends don't IM with me, so that makes me sad. :(
5.  My address book! Now I have to walk all the way to a computer and "lookup" phone numbers.

That's it. That's all I miss. I called AT&T to report the missing phone and found out that I am no longer under contract with them, and haven't been for a year. I thought that I was "stuck" for another year. I canceled. I don't have a cell phone bill -- I definitely don't miss that. What do you do when you need to call Kim? You have a few options, some more obvious than others:

IM me! (I'm using Skype and Messenger)
Email me! (i have more email accounts than I should admit)
Call my landline, duh! (obviously not listed in this blog, although all 3 of my readers would probably think it was convenient, but not 'safe')
