Dear God,
Remember when I took Sassy to Verizon the other day for her upgrade, and they told me that there are no more FREE upgrades?
And remember how Sassy wanted the phone that would end up being 100 dollars after the rebate and special offers, and we went ROUND AND ROUND about it in front of a packed store?
And……remember how I relented and decided that they could put the balance on my account, and I would try to find a way to HIDE IT from Tightwad? (Well, because she decided she could wear the same prom gown two proms in a row I kind of felt she deserved it. I’m a pushover.)
Yeah. It was a stressful moment, and to add to the drama, I ended up with the rookie salesperson that took HOURS to do everything in his computer.
But then you reached out Your Hand, and at that moment Verizon couldn’t for the LIFE of them get into my account. They tried, and tried and tried. Finally, the manager came over and declared that it was my LUCKY DAY. Everything. Was. Free.
Yeah. I almost kissed him on the lips.
(and here I thought you forgot about me...)

Wow almost as good as winning the lottery. Have a great Wednesday!
Cha ching! I'm gonna have to run right over to verizon and pray that I can pull that off!
AWESOME! Love free shit! Also hate rookie sales people, I know they gotta learn, but why ALWAYS w/ ME!
Oh and PS< I got to your blog off Kats blog! www.bobbygspot.org!
woo hoo you!!!
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxo
hey, shouldn't she give you something back, like a little gift or something for being such a great mom or stuff? ps
WOO-HOO!!! Your reward for having to deal with the virgin sales person!
What a wonderful surprise!!!
Good things happen to those who deserve it. ;)
Love Sassy's bartering and rationale about getting the phone. Even more so: love that you had a helping hand in this matter!!! Life is SawHeet, huh?
Oh don't worry. They'll get that $100 from you sooner or later. Most likely sooner.
So that was kind of like the ghost in the machine or, in your case, the God in the computer. Nicely done.
WOW, that is a new one there...them actually caring about their customer.. just how many hours did it take though! before he walked his butt over?
That's great! Nothing like a freebie to make your day!
What a great story!
Mysterious ways indeed...
Man, you are so lucky. Why doesn't this type thing happen to me (she whined)!
You are SO coming with me next time I need a new phone.
Good customer service - how 1982!
Too bad my account is with AT&T :-(
SCORE!
That is an unprecedent level of customer service! Dang, in addition to God, I'd forward a letter of praise to that particular manager's manager! Unless you thought they'd come back to snag you later as a result of the freebie, that is!
I bet if you would have also used your tongue on him you could have gotten a free year, too.
Geez, did I just ype that, gross!
OMG Isn't that the greatest feeling?? Amazing!
I need a new phone. I'm going start stalking the Verizon store looking for a sales person that acts like he doesn't know what he's doing, get indignant and then see if I can draw the attention of the manager. Cha ching!:)
You have just given me a new plan for the day. Drive to Verizon, cut cable for internet access, get free stuff, kiss hot salesrep on lips.
What a nice surprise!
For all the people who get screwed by cell phone providers, I say bully for you! And cheers!!
Good things ALWAYS happen for a reason. The Cell Phone God reached out and touched you!
Take care, Sue
That's 'cos you two deserved it! I like Sassy's attitude of wearing the prom dress again as well. Some kids would balk at that idea. Go Sassy!
Nice! Now which Version store was that?
wow! great deal! lovely prayer!
Pastor Sharon-Good Morning who we going to tag team today ;-)
Ever since my wife washed my phone with my U of M hoodie, no one calls me anymore...
Well, Praise Jesus and Hiiiggggh Glory!!(as Aunt Esther would say).
Slap the chickens and slop the pigs! We loooove free stuff.
And THIS is why I am wedded to Verizon for ever and ever amen. Good things happen (and if you beg or hang around long enough they will give you free stuff and make you a "VIP" customer!)
go V.Mom and Sassy!
I'm sure God would smote you for kissing phone reps on lips...where's Michel when you need her? She is the leader of smotees...
Wow. And I thought I'd scored big by walking into Krispy Kreme while their computers were down and walking out with a dozen FREE hot & fresh donuts.
You killed.
God is good, Vodka Mom, God is good.
Freaking miracle, that's for sure.
:)
Woo-to-the-HOO for free stuff!
Oh you scored! You scored BIG my friend.
You are one lucky woman. That would NEVER happen to me. Verizon usually charges me twice for upgrades!
Happy Wednesday!
- Jennifer
I WOULD have kissed him on the lips! Phones are redonkulously expensive.
it's the least they can do for all the hassle they put us through regularly!
you had me a Believer at "same prom dress 2 years in a row". A teenager agreeing to THAT? Yeah. The works of The Holy Spirit for sure.
Amen.
SWEET deal!
Kissed by God that day, you were. Don't get used to it. *grin*
talk about luck! And, Bitchy being a good girl too!!! Wonderful!
Dude, I totally adore free shit. It's better than if you worked your ass off and paid for it...
God giveth - however, be prepared for the next line....
Sometimes things just work out don't they. Way to go.
Have at terrific day. :)
SA-Weet!!
I go to Verizon and they throw me out.
The things that can make our day.....
What??? That's it - I'm dumping AT&T.
Now THAT'S a great find! Hope Sassy doesn't push you over about the 2nd prom dress now!! And... you remembered to thank God. How precious. He likes that sort of thing. (Psalm 92:1)
Woo hoo! And wearing the prom gown twice . . . that's a REALLY good one. Just don't tell Maggie . . . because she'll totally pull that and then the next prom she will have grown 4 inches and will say oh, sorry . . . I really MEANT it!
NICE. I hope they don't "find" your account just in time for next month's bill. Verizon always seems to find me, except when my home phone stops working.
Sweet! I love those serendipitous moments when all is right with the world!
you tongued the verizon guy. i knew it.
yay! Don't you just love that??? You deserve it lady!
Fabulous!
That totally rocks! Congrats on the FREE! And what a great kid...same dress to two proms? SCORE!

A to the Men! Free Stuff is divine!
Free is always good. At least you didnt have to resort to flashing him or threatening to sick your 2 year old on him.
I'm glad he saw it your way ;)
Stoppin by from SITS, love your blog. I think I'll follow.
Dawn
praise be to heaven!
Yep. He's on earth, too!
Woo-hoo! It WAS your lucky day. And Sassy is going to be SO LAST YEAR in that prom dress. What a fitting punishment. Of course, now it's really moot, isn't it. Oh wait. Does thismean she gets a new prom dress after all?
Everyone needs to get something free every once in a while. The best is when it happens when you NEED it.
I sort of think you would have kissed that manager on the lips, even without the free stuff.
I have Verizon. I wonder if I go there and tell them I know you.... :)
That is awesome! Do you think you could work some magic at my Verizon store?
Gads woman! It's that easy to get a kiss from you?
Oh yeah, the hiding it from "Tightwad" bit...now I get it.
:)
This makes me immensely happy for you for some reason.
I guess just to hear that sky opened up and dropped a nice gift instead of a kick in the pants.
xo
The Lord moves in mysterious ways - and apparently he's a big fan of upgrades! I'm wondering how your luck would run at a blackjack table...
Holy Free Stuff Batman! That's TERRIF!!!
