{kinda what I wanted to do today}
Remember how I said all you gotta do to be tested in life is set some goals for yourself?
Ya, um….I’m thinking you might want to rethink the whole goal setting thing.
Kinda overrated if ya ask me.
Unless you want to drop your beloved iPhone in the toilet and still try to maintain patience and staying in the moment and um…what else, oh ya…finding the positive.
It’s just a phone, right?
No, nasomuch!!!!
It’s my lifeline. My baby cakes. My BFF. My my my my….sharona.
All day today I was lost….lost, lost, lost, lost, lost.
{where am I, who am I, are we really who we say we are???}
I needed to cook risotto and the directions told me to saute.
What the heck is saute?
I went to call Jimmy.
no phone.
So, I schlep to my computer, freaking type out an email and WAIT for his response….
“put oil in and just let it get slightly brown.”
So, I go to put oil in, and realize I measured it wrong.
{It’s easy to mistake a tsp for tsbp.}
And of course, I don’t want to screw up my meal so I go to call Jimmy to see how many more 1/2 teaspoons I need to make 1/2 tbsp.
{I’m no genius guys, never claimed to be one.}
no phone.
Another freaking email….another long awaited response.
The risotto took 45 minutes to make because I didn’t have a phone.
Ahem.
{I blame the phone.}
I wanted to text a picture to make a friend smile.
no phone.
Wanted to text my “wish you were my other mom” to see if she was feeling better.
no phone.
Wanted to check my email and facebook while at my hair appointment to see if anybody cared that my phone was dead.
no phone.
You get the picture right?
So, here I sit, staring longingly into a tub of rice in which my phone now resides….
praying a simple prayer that maybe, just maybe, God cares about phones too.
I’ll keep you updated.
In other news….
My tattoo date may be moving up to THIS Saturday!!!
Only, I just heard a word that it’s not such a great idea to take a vicodin before going.
What’s THAT about?
I mean, even in childbirth, I got SOMETHING to take the edge off…..
Annnnnd, for those of you who are seeing something funky or having to scroll with this new blog look, take heart….things are going to be fixed.
I promise….
And once I get all just right, no more changes for a LONG while.
This has been way too exhausting for my taste.
Speaking of exhausting…I need to go have another word with God about my phone.
I’m pretty sure He’s not tired of hearing about it yet.

oh shizz! i would be beside myself if that happened. actually, i have dropped a cell phone into a toilet before but that was just a regular ol’ cell phone and i had insurance. i can NOT even imagine what you are going through. you may need to just watch some tv.
Pain killers before a tattoo thin your blood, but trust me the pain is worth it when its all done. I’ve had one tattoo and at one time I had 6 piercings and trust me, one of those (belly button) hurt 100 times worse than the tattoo for a 100 times longer!!!!
oh DUDE! i totally feel ya. i can’t go ANYWHERE without my phone or i’d be lost. losing your phone is really like losing your bff. your lifeline to the world. you got insurance right!?!?
oh dear, what did you do before your phone? 😉
Tattoo…how did I not know about this?
I looooove waking up to a post from you…seriously, what are you doing to get a book deal? I am going to be on you about that, your motivator…that is your calling!!!
I don’t have an iphone, but I would miss my cell phone….
How is your hair, at least that is good right?
Oh, SUMMER! I care about your phone! That just totally sucks. But here, here – maybe this will make you feel better about yourself. I washed my work pager TWO TIMES in the washer. Different one each time, obviously because I screwed it up royally. But I bet your phone will survive. Sounds like it just got a quick dunk in the pot. Can’t wait to hear more about the tattoo! And can I just say how I loved your narrative about cooking? So cute. 🙂 Love you, girl!
God seems to be testing a lot of us lately.
Tattoos on the other hand=Exciting!;)
I can’t wait to get more but so freaking busy! I love the new white background BTW..:)
That really sucks about your phone. I would be lost with out my phone too.
And I gotta believe that God does care about phones. Or at least I hope so.
Oh th horror! I seriously wouldnt know what to do with myself if i had no phone. Its my access to everything. Shit, i don’t even know my own home number with it! Ha! K i’m exaggerating but i really don’t know anyone else’s…sigh. i’m sorry summer. Try to stay strong.
So sorry about the death of your phone. My condolences.
It really is a tragedy. I have no idea what I would do in your shoes….and just thinking about it is making me sad.
That stinks about your I-phone–I’m sorry~
Don’t take anything prior to getting a tattoo- also don’t drink alcohol b/c it thins your blood. I have ankle tattoo and sure hurts but not as bad as you would think- Good luck- post pics
dude you are hilarious and i heart you…you had me smiling through this entire post…even if it was centered around an completely unfortunate mishap…crossing (only one hand) fingers that the rice works!!!!!!
Dude. DUDE. What are you going to DO?!?!?!?!
Can I just say how much your blog always makes me laugh? Love it. That’s really sucky about the whole phone-in-the-toilet thing. Amazing how easily you get attached to one little phone, isn’t it? : )
Well, anywho, have a great Thursday and DEFINITELY opt for the painkiller before the tatty!
LMAO!! You poor thing! Sorry, I know it’s not funny…but it is! :o(
It’s amazing how we’ve become so dependant on these little peices of technology. Hope you get a new one soon! So you can be back to normal again!!! lol
Two words:
THAT BLOWS.
this sat???? really? omg, Sum, I cannot wait for it!
and the phone debacle – i feel for you. i do.
xo
That sucks…. haha
I took my son to his doctor appointment on Monday, it was really early. When we got home I put him in his bed and totally forgot that I put my phone in the diaper bag which was in the room with him. I was without my phone for only a few hours and was completely lost. I feel your pain.
girl i totally get where youare coming from.. my berry, a month after i got it, dropped in the bath tub. i was sick! i live and breath my phone.
i’m praying it gets better soon!
yay for the tattoo date being moved forward!! how exciting. can’t wait to see the final look.
love you!
Summer, I am soo sorry. I feel naked without my phone. I can’t imagine how naked you feel!
🙁 BOOOOO BOOOO BOOOOO to no phone! I think you always end up needing it more when you dont have it!
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TATTOO 🙂 I love mine! I’m sure there will be tons of awesome photos!
Happy almost Friday lady!
I **shudder** at the thought that this could ever happen to my phone! Especially since I got my iPhone, I’m way super over attached. Good luck, love! XOXO
Oh Summer. I’m so sorry. My friend Alecia did something similar and she just went back and exchanged it for a new one. It was only days old though and so the exchange was free.
Why the rice?
Can’t live without my iPhone, I feel for you. Try grabbing all the little packets out of your pill bottles and shoe boxes and put it in that!
First of all: The tattoo isn’t so bad; you’ll be fine… promise!
Second: Living with no iphone is clearly more painful than getting a tattoo… I would let someone give me a full sleeve before I would go an extended period of time without my iphone. I realized the other day that it is my go to in every single circumstance imagineable. I NEED it. Plain and Simple.
The point is: If you can survive no iphone, you can survive your tattoo! 🙂
Your blog looks good to me now!
And take a shot of whiskey before your tattoo. Not that I’ve had a tattoo and would know. And seeing as how I’m allergic to vicodin I wouldn’t really know about that either. But I do know about whiskey and I’m thinking even if it doesn’t numb the pain you’ll still feel better!
I would freak out too if I couldn’t use my celly! Hopefully it is better by now!
I thought I lost my iPhone for about 10 min this week and was completely devastated. Fortunately for me it was in my van. It has 700 photos/videoclips on it that are not backed up. I do feel your pain!
I know how you feel – I would die without my iphone!
