Researching

Denis and I are considering getting new cellphones. We’ve had our Nokia 3650s for just over two years, and while they still function well, Denis’ has about had it. He uses his phone so many times during the day that I’m surprised it has last this long.

T-Mobile has a program where you get a free upgraded phone every 12 months, however the “free” upgrade phones are actually pretty crappy. Denis did some searching online and found that if we leave T-Mobile and go over to Cingular we can each get a Motorola Razer V3 for free, have a shared 700 minute phone plan with internet that allows us to save $30 a month AND each of us gets a free Bluetooth headset for hands-free phone calls. I think this is a great deal, but Denis is going to continue looking at phones to determine if the Razr is what he wants.

In other reseach news, I called my YMCA to find out their new membership prices and to also confirm that if I get an individual membership that i can still bring CootieGirl in for the swimming pool. The woman said that absolutely I can bring CootieGirl in during the “family swim” times on Saturdays and Sundays, so I’m going to drop over there tonight and sign up, get a new ID card and pick up the schedules for exercise classes and pool times. Either way, this Saturday at 5 p.m. I’ll be taking CootieGirl to the POOL. She’ll be SO excited!
