Hi guys!\u00a0 I was wiped out last night and crashed in bed at 10:30pm.\u00a0 Where I had a glorious sleep!\u00a0 I haven’t slept that well since the weekend before probably.\u00a0 Ah it was lovely!<\/p>\n

I got up this morning at 7am to get the day started.\u00a0 Scott and I had to run to the AT&T store and we wanted to get that done early.\u00a0 I started off with some coffee.<\/p>\n

\"Mug<\/p>\n

YUM!\u00a0 And did some bloggy stuff and correspondence stuff.\u00a0 Then I got Scott up and showered to make myself presentable.\u00a0 Looking back on yesterday’s eats I realized I didn’t get any fruit. :O\u00a0 So I needed to rectify that the best way I could with what I had on hand.<\/p>\n

\"Yogurt<\/p>\n

Yogurt mess with sliced banana, frozen blueberries, and cranberries.\u00a0 All mixed with some fruit and nut granola.\u00a0 I snagged another cup of Joe for breakfast but only had a few sips of it.\u00a0 Not long after breakfast Scott and I were out the door to the AT&T store.\u00a0 Here’s the deal:<\/p>\n

Yesterday by 9pm we still did not have our phones activated.\u00a0 We did all the stuff suggested, called the activation number, checked our account, restarted the phones, and took out the SIM cards.\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 I don’t know whether it’s noteworthy or not, but our account did not reflect new phones.\u00a0 Only had our old phones and plans listed.\u00a0 Anyway, Scott decided to call customer service and get them to activate our phones.\u00a0 In hindsight he probably should have waited till this morning because at 9pm on a Sunday I doubt AT&T has their Alpha Team running the show, if you get my point.<\/p>\n

Anyway, he talked to someone and she activated his phone and said that it should work with both lines.\u00a0 We tested my phone and nothing.\u00a0 She then activated my phone and Scott’s phone went dead.\u00a0 Then she proceeded to tell Scott his SIM card was now unusable and we would have to go to an AT&T store to pick up a new one.<\/p>\n

:wtf:<\/p>\n

Scott was so mad.\u00a0 I know because he was totally quiet.\u00a0 When he gets slightly cranky he’ll complain and swear and all that stuff. But when he’s really seriously mad, he doesn’t say a word.<\/p>\n

It took us a long time to actually find the store today because we didn’t realize it was IN the mall.\u00a0 We thought it was next to the mall.\u00a0 Thanks to my handy iPhone I was able to double check addresses and find out where we needed to be.\u00a0 We explained the situation and the guy gave Scott a new SIM card.\u00a0 He said that there was a glitch with pre-ordered phones that were sent directly to the owner.\u00a0 For some reason the SIM didn’t want to work.<\/p>\n

We explained how mine worked okay and just shrugged it off as an odd occurrence.\u00a0 We left the store and while we were still in the mall, Scott tried calling my phone and he got no connection.\u00a0 I tried calling his and nothing.\u00a0 Then I realized that my phone stopped working and I had no service.\u00a0 In my mind I went to my happy place while we walked back to the store so I could get a new SIM card.\u00a0 Once that was done, Scott and I both used the phones to call each other and everything was hunky-dory.<\/p>\n

We get home and I start fiddling around with my iPhone and as I try to connect to use some apps, my phone tells me it can’t do that because I have no data plan associated with my phone.<\/p>\n

:banghead:<\/p>\n

At this point, I decided to make lunch before my Hangry<\/a> mood turned to Homiciungry.<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n

Salad!<\/p>\n
