iphone in the house!

I'm really always the last to be with the latest gadget....my kids seem to have the latest {except we do not have an Xbox or Wii} they first had ipod nanos in green and pink which got passed down to me so I can listen to music while on walks.  First the pink one {Kenzie's} then the green nano {Madisons} when they each got the Ipod touch either for a birthday or Christmas. 

So how did I come to own an iphone{after years and years saying I wanted one?} About two weeks ago I asked my "handy dandy" Mr. Incredible to hang a shelf in our entryway hallway so I can hang my purse up when I walk in from the front door.  This is my purse...

Yes from Anthro a few Christmases ago and boy does this baby hold a lot...lots of pockets and nooks and crannies.  I usually carry my camera in there too.  Mr. Incredible hangs the shelf  but "his" side of the garage is so unorganized  and just plan messed up he can't even find the proper nail.  I don't dare go clean up because I don't know a wrench from a ratchet and I would end up throwing away something that is worth something.  He decides to take the easy way out and find the easiest to find nail to hang the shelft to shut me up, it barely had a head on it.  A few days later after he hung the shelf, I was repositioning some knick knacks on top of it and about 20 minutes later Snickers Barbara takes off after the cat and the shelf went kaboom!   I did not realize it at that time it wasn't until the next day at lunch when I went to get my phone out of my purse but the screen was cracked.  I tried switching my daughters screen out since she washed hers a few months ago and she got a new phone for Christmas.  Nope that did not work.  So I had to get another one, {insert happy face here} After much pleading with my "non"techie-lazy-ass husband Mr. Incredible we decided we would use my allowance to pay for my new iphone, it wasn't so much as the price of the phone it was the added data plan that was killing Mr. Incredible.  Yes, I do get an allowance and I'm almost 50!  My "non"techie-lazy-ass husband Mr. Incredibles' parents have done this for years, they each get an allowance each week and it works great. No guilt on whatever you want to spend your money on.  This has worked for us fabulously. I was having a problem with "guilty" spending and now I don't have that monkey on my back anymore.  So Mr. Non-techie-lazy-ass husband Mr. Incredible relented to my wish and now I'm the proud owner of a White iphone.  

Let's just say "I'm LOVING IT!"  Now I can't decide what kind of protective case I want.  This one is calling my name... 

this one is really up my ally...ya?  so cottagy cute..or this one from zazzle.com

this one in pretty aqua damask....

 

or getting it personalized might be kind of neat.  My co-worker ordered hers from zazzle.com  and she loves it, it is a soft cover and she has dropped it a few times and it did not break to bits.  Or should I be a "do it yourselfer" and use up some of my scrapbook paper that is just sitting in my closet?  

 Here at Nest for Less she shows you how to customize them to suit your mood, your wardrobe or make it seasonal.  Choices, choices, what is a girl to do?  What would you do?
