That's our phrase in our house that someone is nekked... (naked). Typically a young kid and right after a bath! Another word for a behind is PoPo. Another word for pretzels is Crunchels... That's just how we roll. You basically need a translator or an English/Val's house dictionary to survive in our house.
But getting back to the title... As I was getting to bed last night, I grabbed at my hip where my cell phone ALWAYS is in order to plug it in as I ALWAYS do at night. It was gone!
As you may recall... I LOVE this phone! I've even blogged about it, HERE and HERE. It's ancient but I know it like I know how to do laundry. My husband is thinking maybe this is a sign that I need a new phone with blue tooth capability... but that's just crazy talk! and I won't hear of it! This is the only phone that will clip to my hip and I don't have to take the clip off of it in order to talk on it. Priceless!I retraced my steps after first trying to call it. Then remembered it's on silence mode and only about 1/2 power on the battery. We went to bible study which is the reason it's on silence mode. Then stopped at Sam's Club on the way home for a few things. So it's either sitting on a pew at church or in the parking lot getting run over at Sam's...
I'm on call with my job 24/7. I don't ALWAYS get calls after hours, but sometimes when I least expect it, like during church or when I'm 3 hours from home, I'll get paged. So I felt pretty nervous that I didn't have my hipster with me because I live by Murphy's Law. (Hipster is cell phone in Val-speak) Crossed my fingers that no emergency calls would come in and decided, "Well, what can I do??" Nothing.
It's a good thing that Meri has a cell phone because I grabbed hers this morning and now all my work calls will come thru her phone today. We'll be near church tonight so I'll run over and check. If it's not there or at Sam's, I guess I'll panic! Flip out! Go Funny Farm! and say things I will regret... and can't possibly spell.
This is my funny farm photo... Well - not mine - but you get the idea. I'm either crazy or have mad cow disease...I'm feeling Nay Nay without it!

Nay-nay! Love it! Can I borrow that term? :) I really hope you find your cell phone. Mine is very similar, and I know what you mean. It just 'works' for me. Don't need no stinkin' bells & whistles here ;) -Tammy
Oh, I hope you find it. My cell phone is so old I feel like it's part of the family. It seems I've never misplaced it when the ringer is on and fully charged...I feel your pain.
I would feel very nay-nay without my hipster also!!! How am I doing with the McVal language??!! lol
I love my old phone, but hubby got me a new one for Valentine's Day..seriously...it is BRIGHT RED and has all the bells and whistles. I still miss my old one, though, but I don't want to hurt his feelings....:)
Hope you find yours soon! I've said before that cell phones need to come with GPS. Then, you could just call it with a landline phone and the GPS would get activated somehow and then you could like track where it is on the computer or something. I don't know...kind of SciFi, but then again, my brain just always works in strange ways! :)
Ick! I would really feel naynay if I didn't have mine!
I accidentally left my phone at home today, and honestly, the day was half over before I missed it. LOL! Shane calls me on his way home from work most days, but other than that, I rarely use it.
I never use my cell phone. That's why I went to a pre-paid one. Now my lap top is another story!
"I live by Murphy's Law."-We live in the same house!!
We say hoe creem for ice cream. And my oup for ramen noodles!
