show and tell

there are three things that i am particularly thrilled about right now.

1. this backpack.

it's bri's old backpack. i have wanted it for about a billion years. but it was lost.. presumably given away. i was devastated. but brianna surprised me by bringing it out to utah this week. cause she found it. yayy :)))

2. this cheese grater.

i know you want to laugh. but don't. just try it. and let me know what you think. then just try to laugh.

3. best for last.

as a teenager, i read time magazine front to back every single week. loved that thing. and one week, there was about a six page article about this new thing that was coming out. it was called the iPhone.

i was obsessed with iPhones. i loved them. i was more passionately interested in them than you can imagine. probably more than was healthy.

but, i could not get one. not only because i was a poor 15-year old, but also because at&t service where i'm from sucks. so that was rough.

this is the phone i have had for the past two years.

it's wonderful if you're into the 100-decibel-vibrate, loud-clicking-keys kinda thing. which, as it turns out, i'm not.

luckily i have the coolest mom and dad in the world and as soon as verizon came out with an iPhone, i was allowed to put that baby in my hand and call it mine. greatest moment of my life.

i am on top of the world.

and yes that is a lion. i love lions. what can i say?!
