New Phone

Last weekend, we took Wm to the Verizon store and told him if we could get him a new phone/plan for roughly the same thing we were paying, we'd do it. His old phone was unreliable and the battery would go from 100% to below 50% in an hour. Well, it was not roughly the same cost. It was A LOT more. But guess who still walked out with a new phone and Verizon plan? You guessed it. This spoiled guy:

Also happiest guy

Wm opted for an Android phone, so he's in a whole new world. It's very fancy and he loves it. I also downloaded an app that tracks him stalker-like. I get a ping to my phone when he leaves school. I also added Steve, so now I can stalk him too. It's pretty fun. Steve is stalking me back, and, apparently, now gets a ping whenever I get home. I went home for lunch at a weird time the other day because of a meeting. About 2 minutes later, I got a text from Steve asking why I'm home and if I was sick. Ha! At least this phone phone holds a charge and has a reliable network. The stalking is just a bonus.

Wm is off school all next week. Which is crazy. What happened to a regular 4 day weekend? He is very excited. He texted me this morning to tell me that his pre-Algebra teacher brought in donuts and M&M's and they just played poker and then played on their computers. He was thrilled with life.

Wm has a guard now. I went in to wake him up and he grumped around and refused to get out of bed. I said, "I'm going to brush my teeth. If you're not up when I get back, I'm tickling you until you can't breathe and you will be very sorry!" When I returned, this is what I found:

Luckily, Flip's guarding also involved a lot of face licking, so that got Wm up anyway!

Speaking of the Hell Hound, he goes to the groomer next week to get a pre-Thanksgiving blow out. He's getting the works: bath, blow dry, nail trim, tooth brushing, ear cleaning, and anal gland "expressing." He should be coiffed and lovely for the holiday! He will also be SUPER pissed about it. I'm making Steve take him this time because he was majorly displeased with me last time. But he needs it. His nightly trip to the park has left him a little worse for wear.
