A New iPhone Case

Image
By
I have a couple of weaknesses:  eating out, , watching Survivor, being with my children, eating out with my children and coming home and watching Survivor, and my iPhone.

One day after I broke my ankle (over two years ago), John took me to AT&T to buy my first iPhone.  I can't remember much from that time (because of the narcotics), but I remember what a lifesaver my iPhone was.  I'm not sure I could have successfully navigated some of the pain, and the sleepless nights without that sweet piece of technology.

I started with a boring iPhone case that I bought right there at AT&T.  It was orange in honor of my Siedler color.

When I upgraded to an iPhone 4, the girls bought me another orange case for Christmas.

After a while, and after seeing other people with much cooler cases, I started looking around.  I found the coolest website (getuncommon.com) that among other things, sold "Words with Friends" cases.  I ordered the cutest cornflower blue case with owls on it.  It was very Asian looking, but I loved the clean lines and the color.



I thought I couldn't be happier with my iPhone case until I saw another ad from uncommon.com (through Tiny Prints).  A custom case with photos.

It arrived yesterday, and I couldn't be happier.



Sorry about the blurry image, but you get the idea.  I love this case.  I love the photos, I love the color, I love the script.  Seriously, I can't help but smile when I see it.

Of course, I will love it until I see something better, but I don't know....this is a pretty good one, don't you think?

The Quest for Birkenstocks

By
One of the main reasons I go to Germany every couple of years is to restock my supply of Birkenstocks.  I started buying them when I lived there, and I basically can't live without them now.  It just about kills me when a pair runs its course and needs to be thrown away.  I think in my lifetime, I've thrown away only three pairs.  One that never was quite right (the straps were plastic and would cut into my skin after a long day), one pair that I wore gardening one too many times (the brown dirt stains wouldn't come out of the white leather), and the pair that I was wearing when I broke my ankle (they were an unfortunate casualty of broken ankle PTSD because those purple and blue paisleys go down as one of my favorite pairs of all time).  I only threw out the garden ones a couple of days before I left for Germany, because I knew I would be getting a new pair. The only store where I have ever bought my Birkenstocks is Hoffmann's in Speicher.  (Well okay, t...

Johannah's Bridal Shower

By
One of the only reasons to lament my daughter not living in Utah anymore? Sister Mecham.  When I think back to the absolutely classic, beautiful, elegant, heart-warming bridal shower she threw for Glo, I literally sit in awe.  Her talents and abilities are unmatched! Believe me, I was hoping anyone  would volunteer to throw Hannah a bridal shower.  Being only two weeks post-op, I knew it was going to be very difficult for me to stand up let alone host the thing.  I even asked several people about me throwing it, thinking they would tell me it wasn't  up to me, but do you know what they ALL said? Of course  I should host it. This is what we do, baby! So I took a deep breath and decided to do it the best I could do it, knowing that I would never equal what Becky Mecham could do. Since Hannah's wedding colors were Tigers colors, and since Hannah loves baseball, I figured a baseball-themed bridal shower would be perfect for her.  And she agreed! But l...

Like Dominos....

By
It all began with glare.  Simple, obnoxious, I-can't-stand-it-anymore glare. Our 60" rear projection TV in the family room was basically unviewable except after 10 o'clock at night.  The glare from the windows was making it impossible to see anything during my 10 minute lunch break each day, and something had to change. Too, the TV didn't fit in the entertainment center from Germany.  John, wanting bigger and better, hadn't considered that the space is only 40" wide.  For the past five years, I have been nagged by 6" of overhang on both sides of the TV stand. I went to Lowe's to price blinds.  $1,043 for five blinds, and that was at 20% off. I figured a new TV would be cheaper than that.  I was right, even with the state-of-the-art receiver and new HDMI cables that sly salesman told us we needed to have. But where to put the old TV?  It just needed a quiet, dark place to retire. Glo's bedroom.  Her TV was a relic from the paleoneoneand...
