I don’t have much to talk about lately since my life basically goes like this: work, sleep, read The Hunger Games. It’s been less than a week and I’m already 75% done with book 2. One of my goals for 2012 is to read 20 books, and it’s looking like I’ll have read 4 by the end of January (book club + Hunger Games). This is crazy fast reading for me.
Oh, well, I did do this yesterday:
To avoid this, simply avoid letting your phone fall from 3 feet onto concrete! Easy. Fortunately it only shattered the back, and the Apple store was able to replace it in 5 minutes for only $30. I was VERY pleasantly surprised at the cost and speed of the repair. I had to get rid of the sticker/skin I had on it though, since there were shards of glass stuck to it. I’m now back to a rubber case I got a while ago, and all things considered, it’s probably better that way. Now it’s less slippery, and more padded.
And in other news, I did get one fun thing in the mail over the weekend:
Last month, I signed up for Whimseybox after seeing my friend Rachel mention it on Twitter. When you subscribe, they send you a box each month filled with a few little crafty items and since I’ve rediscovered my love of crafts lately, I couldn’t resist.
I got my first box on Saturday, and I was oohing and aahing before I even figured out what was inside. I’m such a sucker for cute packaging, and Whimseybox has cute packaging DOWN.
There were several fun things inside — three different bits of pink and orange ribbon, a small jar of red paint, a couple bags of red and black sequins, a slap bracelet (which made me laugh) and two packages of polymer clay. I’m most excited about the ribbon and the clay. I bought a necklace at the Art Festival last fall that’s made of out polymer clay, so you can definitely do some neat things and although neon pink and green aren’t exactly my go-to colors, I’m excited to do a little experimenting with the clay to see what I can create.
But it’ll have to wait until I’m done with my reading spree.
Our oldest two kids, Andrea and I got sucked into The Hunger Games trilogy over Christmas. It seemed like no one was talking to each other because we had our head down reading. Then when we did talk it was about what we had read. They are really good.
Love the Whimseybox, so cute! I loved the Hunger Games and read them in record time as well.
