Cellular Homicide-death by drowning

This past Saturday was a full day. I went to the Kenya informational meeting in Souderton and got fired up to go to Kenya this summer! I am sooo excited. I was the only one there who didn't know someone else there in some form or another. But that's ok. I'm slowly learning how to break out of my shell. I got home around 5ish.
So I was talking to Becca on my cell and trying to do laundry at the same time. After I ended the conversation with her, I somehow managed to drop my phone next to the washing machine. Normally no big deal. But when I picked it up, I realized it had fallen right into a puddle of blue laundry detergent! It was really messy, all over the phone all over my hand.
So being the oh so intelligent one I decided to take my chances and run it under some faucet water. I felt confident that my phone would be ok because a couple of year ago my phone survived a night outside in the pouring rain. This one could certainly handle a little bit of water to get all that soap off. So I rinsed it off. I was right, it did still work fine. Then I saw that I had missed a spot. So common sense said that it would be able to make it through another short bath. Wrong! The second time I killed my phone. I couldn't even get mad at myself. I knew better.
So me having a cell-dependency couldn't imagine not having a phone for a couple of days, especially since I was supposed to hear from Fran, the lady I cat sit for. So I got in the car 5:10 knowing I had to meet Nina at 6pm and headed for King of Prussia to the Verizon store. Got there at 5:30, pouted while I waited in a line, what was line doing there anyway? and bought the cheapest phone I could find and still was able to get to BBB by 6 to meet Nina.
Crazy day.
Today, after work, I went to the Verizon store in Norristown to see if they had any other phones cheaper or better, and it was closed. So I drove to the one in Audubon. I also wanted to get a car charger and needed some small thing fixed on the phone. The same phone I bought in KOP was $55 cheaper there, so how could I pass that deal up? So I got the new phone and eventually after visiting Fran, returned the other one. I'll do anything to save a buck. $55 is like an entire cell phone bill! I'm a little crazy, yes. But that's ok.
