oops

This morning I dropped my iphone, on the ground, face down. I was not prepared for what I saw when I picked up the phone and flipped it over.... a cracked screen. SHIT! While I'm not well versed on iphone replacement options, I knew it was going to set me back a couple hundred bucks, which I would reluctantly pay because there's absolutely no way I was going back to my spare blackberry. Once you go iphone you don't go back. period. end of story. I cried, in my cube, for 10 minutes... mad at my carelessness and soon to be empty wallet. (for those of you who remember, I dropped my macbook in 2008 and cracked the screen. It was traumatic and this little phone incident brought back baaaad memories.)

I immediately made an appointment at the Apple store inside the MOA. Long story short, the nicest lady gave me a remanufactured phone for free! She said it was a one time deal (note to self, don't drop your phone again because no one is going to bail you out!). I immediately bought a purple Otterbox (aka bulky, bomb proof phone cover) which I will sport from here on out.

What an emotional day! (insert slight sarcasm)

Clearly I know there are much worse things in life than breaking a material possession, but I think all iphone users would share in my misery over a broken iphone.



In other news, I've begun operation paint-all-of-the-trim-in-the-house. Wish me luck!
p.s. the lighting is horrible

Being an iPhone lover myself, I too would have cried. But I bought a cover the day I bought my phone. Trying to get in and out of the house or car with 2 boys means I will inevitably drop my phone at least once or more a week. It's definitely an iPhone must-have. :)
