Challenge #3 - Gail

I finally got some inspiration and completed my layout for this challenge! I was beginning to get worried and when Laura asked me if I needed any help, I knew she was beginning to worry, also! Never fear, Laura...I wasn't about to let you down. Without further ado...Here is my interpretation of this week's challenge:

I can hear ya'll laughing at me right now (Diane!), but let me tell you...When I got that cell phone bill yesterday, I wasn't laughing! No sirree, Bob! I panicked...at least until I saw the total due. Whew! It was actually $30.00 less than last month! You parents of teenagers know what I'm talking about. I flipped through this thing and the first 7 pages are breakdowns of my phone usage and my husband's phone usage. The remaining 243(!) pages is the breakdown of my daughter's 11,538 TEXT messages! Yeah...you read that right...11,538 in one month! As my husband pointed out, that's almost 400 per day. Don't you think her thumbs would get tired or cramped or something??? All I can say is, "Thank goodness for unlimited text message plans!"

'Til Thursday....

Wow great layout. I would have fainted if I got that big a cell phone bill. Wow, that's a lot of text messages. I have a cell phone and I don't even know how to text message but, of course, my plan is not unlimited so probably will never learn it. Looking forward to the next challenge.

LOL!! I couldn't help it!! When I showed my husband last night he laughed too. We were wondering just how long it takes to send over 11,000 text messages and why these kids don't just DIAL THE PHONE!! ha! Honestly, this has been my most favorite layout in ages.
