Tough week

With the towing of my hubby's car at the beginning of the week and the same day finding my cell phone in the washer after it had been through the wash and spin cycle I knew I should just stay in bed. Costly week! Also a long week. I took all the advice I've heard about drying out a cell phone. Taking it a part and letting it dry for at least over night. After three days it was still wet inside the screen. That's when I stuck it in a bowl of rice. It's been a week and last night it actually turned on and looked promsing. It looked good for taking a charge. This morning it went in my pocket and off to work I went. When I got there I pulled it out to call for the door to be opened and I could hear them but they couldn't hear me. I think I have to admit that it's a lost cause especially since it won't hold a charge now. Was dead till I got home. I checked out AT&T and I'm not due for a discounted upgrade until July of 2010 so I went to Amazon.com and found a cheaper version and am hoping it will work until I can do something better in a year or so.



Finished reading Mary Higgins Clark's "Just Take My Heart." I must admit that this was one of her better novels. I've read them all. It's become a habit after all these years. This one was about an assistant district attorney who gets to prosecute a man who is thought to have killed his famous wife two and a half years ago. She was a well known stage actress and was killed in her home. A small time criminal pointed a finger at the husband when he got caught breaking into a home and stealing jewelry. He made a deal by saying the husband did it. Throw in a serial killer and it was quite a nice fast read. I'm waiting for the delivery of the latest Elizabeth Berg and the latest James Patterson. I think I have time to read another Carol Higgins Clark which I found when I picked up her Mother's book last week. Fortunately there are a few other books coming, too, that should keep me busy for a week or two.
