I lost my phone on saturday night, and sunday freaked out and ended up buying a blackberry.  Now, I cannot afford this expenditure in the first place but needed something and didn't want to waste my upgrade thingie.  Lucky for me Jeff found my phone later and I have now returend said blackberry.  It was a brief and somewhat frightening affair.  I know now why they call it a crackberry.  I was debating on keeping it, because I thought it might be great for work, (driving directions especially).  But then it kept blinking at me every time I got an email.  It was horrible.
I have good news too - I have had two accepted offers, and now have two transactions in the works.  I found my friend a great house in Beaverton, and got my uncle a duplex in Jefferson - at $14,000 below asking price.  I was pretty excited when that one got accepted right off the bat!
