Drama, drama, drama

Those of you who know me, or are used to my writing, probably have me pegged for a drama queen. I don't deny it. I am. Through and through. About a year and a half ago, Kris upgraded his cell phone and left me longing for an upgrade myself. See here for details. Bottom line, I whined and begged and pleaded with him until I wore him down and he finally gave in and bought me the Samsung Instinct.

Knowing that he wouldn't let me get another new phone so soon, I entered to win the HTC Evo that Sprint was giving away. I entered the writing contest AND the Facebook contest. I did not win either one. So sad. Seriously...I was distraught! Ever since then, I've been making little comments to Kris about buying me the Evo for our anniversary (which is June 5). It just seems like the most natural, reasonable gift, seeing as how it will be released on June 4th. It's fate, right? At least that is what I am trying to convince him of. I mean, who cares that it will cost us at least $100 that we don't really have. It's our anniversary. I take our anniversary very seriously around here! Isn't it enough that he is whisking me away to Gatlinburg for two days? For a drama queen like myself, no, it's not enough. Poor, poor Kris.

So, I keep asking him if he is going to buy me the HTC Evo. It wouldn't even be a question. Except that I just found out that I am a Sprint Premier customer and so instead of having to wait 2 years to get $150 off an upgrade, I could have upgraded back in January!! Poor Kris. I made sure I let him know this. So I can get the discount they are offering for a two year contract, plus my $150 upgrade. Which means the Evo shouldn't really cost us much at all. And considering they are releasing the phone in honor of my 11th wedding anniversary, I kind of HAVE to get it, don't I?

In order to shut me up, Kris may break down and give in. The things this man has to go through to live with me. I really do feel sorry for him sometimes. Though not enough to figure out a way to just be patient and wait until next January when an even better phone is bound to be out. At least, I'm hoping he gives in. I'm sure I can find some way to make it up to him.

Oh, HTC EVO how I long for you!

***KRIS JUST SAID THAT IF EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG WOULD DONATE A DOLLAR I COULD GET THE PHONE. HA HA! I LOVE THAT MAN! He's funny. And only about 75% serious. HOWEVER, NO DONATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED!***

  3. I work at Sprint :D It makes me smile to see people have good/exciting things to say about them!! I hope he gets it for you, it's an AMAZING phone. I have the Samsung Moment, and I really, really love it. Androids are awesome.

  4. So Cari.... Any extra discounts for friends of employees?

    By the way, here is how happy Jamie was with the phone that she now hates when she first got it:

    I'm the same way though. I'm very bored with my phone as well and am ready to abandon Windows Mobile for Android. If only money was no object.....
