Trying My Best at Being Tech Savvy...

Let's begin at the beginning...

A few weeks ago I lost my phone at the mall.  It was a complete bummer!  I've been in possession of a cell phone for 5 years.  I usually upgrade to a newer phone every two years or so and I had finally upgraded to a SMART phone!  I was so excited!  I could play Angry Birds, watch Netflix, and have flash on my camera all in one device.  Not to mention the main purpose of a phone, which is...oh yes...to call and text people.  I have never broken or lost one of my phones.  I was sure I should have won a prize for that.

To continue the story...I wasn't feeling so great at the mall and must have gotten so distracted that I left the phone in the bathroom (or wherever I left it).  I didn't realize that it was out of my possession until I had gotten home 20 minutes later.  Someone called my sister's phone from my phone and hung up before we could answer.  After many attempts of calling my phone back, as well as sending numerous text messages pleading for them to return my phone, we (Stephen and my sister Alex) decided to head back to the mall to see if we could locate it.

We searched and searched to no avail.  I even contacted mall security with no luck.  Needless to say, I was SO mad.  And bitter.  Bitter that I could no longer listen to music on my phone or use the touch screen.  Bitter that my prized smart phone was gone.  G-O-N-E.  But, I got over it once I realized that it is just a material item that I had grown WAY to attached to (God works in mysterious ways).  Side note:  Thank you to my boyfriend who helped me realize this).

Fast forward to today.  I have another smart phone.  It is identical to the one that I lost.  As a birthday gift, my dad purchased a used one for me :)  Yay daddy!  I promised not to become attached to this phone...

The phone works pretty well.  I "Juana-fied" it and things got back to normal...until all of my music disappeared a few days ago.  What. The. Heck?!  I bought another SD card with more space since I have quite a bit of music stored up.  I encountered problems trying to add the music back on and it took me a few hours to complete the task.  Then, today, I discovered that my music was gone.  Again.

So now, I sit typing this post, waiting for my music to download again.  I attempted to find a way around the issue by using Amazon's Cloud Player as my music player instead of the phone's automatic music player app.  Hopefully, this will work!

Huzzah, at my computer tech skills!  All it takes is a bit of Googling and ingenuity ;)
