Phone Insurance


Approximately 5 months ago, I purchased a new cell phone. It was more exciting for me than most people because for 2 years prior to that, I had the world’s worst cell phone. Throughout the time of owning that phone, it was difficult to hear people, the screen would repeatedly freeze, and the screen was extremely cracked. I also had terrible service. Upon switching, I was presented with the opportunity to purchase insurance, and I said to myself, no I don’t need insurance, I will be really careful.  Regretfully, I also decided not to purchase a case at that time, and promised myself I would do so later. This past weekend, to my horror, I dropped my cell phone on the concrete pool patio at a birthday party. The screen is quite cracked and it even has a chip out of it. It was a sad day, but I think I learned my lesson about cell phone insurance. Always get it! Get a case too! The truth is the cost to replace the phone without it is going to be astronomical,and you won’t want to live with a crappy one for long.

Wedding Season!



I recently went to a backyard wedding and it was one of the best weddings I have ever been to! It was outside for starters, which was great since the weather was perfect.  They had plenty of entertainment including Corn Hole, dancing, a photo booth, bagpipes and Irish step dancers. They had an open bar. They also had great food, cake, and a candy table.  Since it was an outdoor wedding held at a private residence, they couldn’t have everyone using their personal bathroom. Instead they rented Porto Potties. I thought that would be the one disappointment, but they were flushing Porto Potties with sinks inside. I have never heard of such a thing. It reminded me of an airplane bathroom. It was pretty funny. They even had paintings on the wall in the Porto Potties.  Now that weddings are in full swing for the summer, I can hope you don’t have to attend any boring receptions, especially any with non-flushing toilets! Have a great week!
