My IQ of Diminishing Returns....

This is not a phone....y... story!!!

My mother always said that I was special...a cut above....nothing like a mother talking, that's what I say!   I also say that used to...does not count..all that is so over.....

This morning I was off to exercise in the pool half asleep..evidently..Whining about the cold water, I did not realize that I had put my new and awesome I-phone in the bra of my swimming suit instead of the bra of my clothes.....a sad mourning for me!!!  The pool friends put my phone in a bag of rice.  I went to Verizon where I was told that water damage was fatal and not covered by my insurance.  They said that I would have to still pay the 2 year contract that I had just signed and pay $600 for a new phone.


Off I then went to the Apple store, carrying the dear phone in the big bag of rice.  They said that I would have to wait 2 hours for an appt with a technician...so fine, but first I had to explain my fool problem of water exercising with my I-phone in the bra of my swimming suit(:     With my loud voice, I evidently explained it all to the entire busy store and then...gesturing and pulling the phone from the bag of rice, I spilled the rice all over their I-pad display.....

Lordy, they were so ready to see this old age pensioner leave that store.  $150 for a new phone and $50 more for insurance...giving me two more times to swim with my new phone!!!  During my wait, I browsed their rice covered I-Pad display.  Thirty minutes later, I had concussion symptoms...eyes, ears, head and neck....can you believe it...almost 10 months later...  

Sooo, since I am once again on a fabric buying budget, I thought that I had better tell this story with the fabric that I do have!

I really, really, really love my I-Phone.

Now, to cheer us up comes,via Beth....The Great British Sewing Bee.....Enjoy!
