RIP Phone



Once upon a time there was an awesome phone that was taken advantage of. It was purple, with pink buttons and a cute pink case.
I LOVED it!! But I realized this too late....

One unfortunate day, my phone screen decided, "Lets play a trick on Kaitlyn and not work!!"

I could receive calls, texts, whatever, I just couldn't see what the heck was going on on the screen. It was really annoying. Bzzzzzz. Oh gee pal, I know youre texting me, I sure wish I could answer!!

Then comes the insurance company. Sure! We'll replace your phone! For $40!! Oh wait. you want your phone now?? You've been without a phone for two days?? Who cares!! It's a holiday weekend. You're gonna get one on Wednesday (the day is Thursday- a whole week without a phone!? Unheard of!!)

Well.. I was pretty depressed. Super. Then one day I was going home with Brandon. He asked to see my phone. He took it, hit it against his leg as a last resort. and TA-DA! It worked!! Simply magic!! Don't even ask me how. I was so so SO SO happy!! I got to read all my texts... and realized some friends sent me texts just to bug me, the stinkers!!


So I had a phone, but we had already ordered the new one. I figured might as well replace it in case my phone decided to do that again. Well... The phone... yeah... I got the black version. With blue buttons. Do they even know who I am?! BLACK!? And they wanted my old one back. And wouldn't let me request a new one in purple. Ugh. I was not happy.

SO! Since my case was broken and I had a warranty on it, I decided to go into at&t to get it replaced. I go in and the guy says, "Oh. I dont know if we have those kinds of cases anymore. Nope only clear, and it's the last one. You're lucky."
Shoot.
"Oh! Wait! Let me see if other places have any that they could ship to us.... hmm... oh! Looks like you could get a purple one!" (fake happiness for me).
I start to mutter my, "That'd be lovely! Thanks!!!!"
Before I can even get the first syllable in he says,
"oh. just kidding. nope. not happening".

..............................................................

So. I got stuck with an ugly black phone with a clear case that doesnt cover up any of its darkness.
Then.. I discovered this really cool thing.
It's called, cut scrap book paper and put it behind the case to make it a little more pretty.
It's not the same.. but on the bright side it's interchangeable, and that makes the sting a little better.

I like your post ... you did have a cute purple phone and I'm sorry it is no longer with us. We will all have to learn to make this new phone with the scrap book cover-up feel welcome.
