Dumpster Diving for Cell Phones


So, funny story this weekend! Saturday morning Skip and I woke up and were getting ready to head out the door to run some errands. I looked all around for my cell phone to take with us but I could not find it anywhere. I called it from the home phone to hear it ringing but all was silent! So Sunday rolls around and still no phone. My mind starts turning, wondering where it might have gone. Then the idea came to me. I had taken the trash out Saturday morning, and with the trash was a Burgerville bag that was used to bring dinner home on Friday. The bag had been sitting on the floor next to our coffee table, and I thought that maybe my phone accidently got knocked into the bag. On Sunday morning Skip and I went down to our garbage room and he called my phone. And what do you know, there came a familiar ringtone from the depth of the dumpster. Skip grabbed a flashlight and we spotted the Burgerville bag. I let Skip reach in to get it and dump out the contents, which included my phone! After a quick dusting off and wipe with an antibacterial cloth it was as good as new!! So moral of the story...check the Burgerville bag before taking it out to the trash!!!


As if this wasn't exciting enough this weekend, Skip and I adopted a new kitty!!! She is black with green eyes and is one-year-old. She's still at the humane society because she's getting fixed tomorrow. We're still working on a name for her because she was a stray and the humane society named her Pineapple...yeah, we're not keeping that name. I like Chloe and Skip likes Emerald (for her eyes). She is such a sweetheart and is a very loving cat! More pics to come!

I really would have liked to have seen Mr. and Mrs. Stein dumpster diving this weekend. Glad your cell survived! Congrats on the kitty! You should pick out a few names and then put a poll on here and we can all vote. (To warn you, I sabotaged Sabrina's car naming poll and voted repeatedly for the one I liked - I got into trouble). This has nothing to do with your post, but guess who I met the other day? Our favorite person from the railroad with the initials J.P.
