Cell phone mishaps...

Accidents happen, right? To me they seem to only involve cell phones...

I am now on my 2nd "backup" phone. My original phone decided life wasn't worth living and drowned itself in a pool of Vitamin Water that tipped over in my car and spilled into a little dip in my center console. Nice.

Last night I was making dinner, Ritzy Chicken Strips. I had the oil all heated, began dropping the chicken in while texting my sister about how Jason Mraz is coming to Portland and we should go. The cell figured it was his time to go and hopped out of my hands... right into the 8 inch pot of hot oil. It could have gone anywhere else in the kitchen, it decided it wanted to be a Ritzy Chicken Strip.

If my current (LAST backup) cell decides to off itself I will have to resort to buying a new one. Let's see how long this will last....

Wonderful weekend....

My sister, bro-in-law, and beautiful, perfect nephew Hunter were here over the weekend... It was so nice to see them :-) They all look great and we had a fabulous time. Some highlights:

- Went hiking in the Columbia River Gorge, specifically Horsetail and Pony Falls. the trail goes behind the waterfall, how cool is that?- Got *lost* trying to find Lucky Labrador Brewery in Portland, said screw it and went to Rock Bottom, still very good...
- Hunter spent most of the time in a fuzzy snake costume I found at a yard sale a few years back. He wouldn't even take it off for the trip back down to California

***I would totally have pics to share had my dear sweet husband not erased them. The pic above is, ahem, borrowed from the internet...***

It was awesome... It made me wish I had family closer, the closest is my sister-in-law 3 1/2 hours away... Next closest is my sis Shelby 600 miles away... sad....
