Cheap or ingenius

It’s a fine line …

My phone battery is dead as a doornail (which makes it rather awkward when I accidentally hang up on people like my Dad, my friends, the person I’m interviewing, etc), so I retrieved the battery from my old phone to save myself the $30 cost of a new battery.

Alas, the old battery was too small. So in a stroke of genius, I took a small piece of paper, folded it accordion-style to make it thicker and jammed it into the small spare space.

It now fits!

It’s now charging!

And I don’t have to buy a new battery!

Wahoo!

Two great loves

Because I’m in Denver at the SIA Show and my wonderful boyfriend is back in Boulder, I called him last night while walking from the convention center back to the hotel.

Five minutes later I got a text message that read: “I can’t believe it. You just hung up on me for fro yo.”

In my defense, I did tell him I’d call him back …
