Tuesday night it rained and rained, and I had planned on just being lazy and taking a picture of the rain (and a good excuse to get a picture of Roxy before she dies). I love storms so I was trying to sit in the recliner and enjoy it when I got the bright idea to open the blinds in the family room so that I could watch the lighting while watching TV. Unfortunately in order to get at the blinds I had to stand on the couch and in such process, my phone slipped out of my sweatshirt pouch and fell just exactly in between the cushions and into the recliner mechanisms of the couch. In the middle picture you can kind of see the buttons lit-up! My mom and I tried maneuvering the foot rest and reclining it in different heights and no matter what it just seemed to get wedged it tighter and tighter to the point were I was basically on the verge of tears because I thought once again I was going to break my phone and I had still never got around to backing up my contacts! Eventually (about 45 stressful minutes later) we stuck a yardstick in there and mom lifted the couch and I crawled beneath to successfully retrieve it, and only the w/1 button is damaged! Now, I haven't confessed this story to Nick because roughly two years ago, we were out fishing off a boat launch on the fox river- it was a concrete bridge type deal, and I hopped up to sit on it and when I threw my legs over my phone slipped right out of my sweatshirt pouch, down the 10 foot drop and into the water. After Nick pretended he was going to be heroic and go get it for me, I jumped it to save it, but not quick enough before I was a goner. On the way home Nick decided to lecture me on what pocket i choose to keep my phone in from now on. . . .
