Hope you all had a good weekend.  Mine was nice…still busy, but really great.  I’m excited for life to slow down a bit this week.  Last week was cray…for lack of better slang words.  I need a down week.

My new current liquid obsession is a cranberry sprite from Sonic.  Oh goodness.  There is just something about this sweet little concoction that can make my day so much better.

My friend Ashley mailed me a giant box filled with 30 different presents.  Harper and I laid in bed and opened all of them.  Too fun.  Love you Ashley.

This was my favorite thing Ashley sent.  Forget the Buffalo Wild Wings card or the Sonic card or super cute shirt.  The Lassy Legs beat them all.  And you’re probably wondering, “So does it work?”  Well, yep it does.  It especially works if you’re goal is smooth, hairless legs that you get by rubbing your skin raw with fine grit sandpaper.  Like my legs were all dusty afterwards just like sanding down a piece of lumber accompanied by lots of little, what felt like, carpet burns.

I have been wanting Noonday & Matilda Jane’s sweet collaboration of a bag called The Weekender for a while now.  Courtney totally rocked it out and got me one of my birthday.  It made carrying all my packages to the post office way cooler.  Love it Courtney.

I heart the self service machine at our post office.  I use it 99.9% of the time.  And mainly when the post office is closed…like Sundays.  Happy mail is on its way.

I have lots of “thank you” notes to write for my fantastic birthday.  I’m always looking for some good thank you notes and I loved these at Target.  Hand writing a thank you note is something I will never let technology take over.  Never. #dyingart

Josh got me an iPhone for my birthday.  Now you may recall I just recently entered the world of texting.  So a smart phone was waaaay out of my league, but apparently Josh thought I was ready.  I have to admit I am quite over the moon about my leap into technology, but wow! it is confusing.  I did get on Instagram…come find me {pitterpatterart} and help me out.  I seriously need an iPhone class.  I’m such a nerd.  Do you have any tips or tricks?  Any must have apps?  Anything to help an un-tech savvy crafty sister out?  I have downloaded the Joanns, Hobby Lobby and Michaels apps.

I think Ashley may be getting tired of Face Timing with me to tell me how to do something.  She just is a wealth of somewhat helpful iPhone knowledge…or I just like to see her face because we live too far apart.

I did start looking for an iPhone case and when I did some googling I ran across THIS POST on how to design your own iPhone case.  Super easy.  Super fun.  And just like that I headed over to Uncommon, uploaded my picture and ordered my iPhone case…and took my first ever Instagram photo.  Yah!

Since that first picture, I have sort of been an Instagram fool.  Way too many pictures.  It probably doesn’t help that my camera is still broken.  I just have so many questions…like…when you take a picture with Instagram does it have to upload to your feed every single time and how can I get my Instagram pictures in my regular photo stream on my phone?  It’s all just so confusing.

I really want to master these iPhone shannanigans.  I want to use it with confidence and without confusion and a million bajillion questions.  I really want to be hip and cool and “down with it”…is “down with it” even hip and/or cool verbage…see what I’m working with here.  I want to be cool enough to wear these jeans.  It would appear that cool ladies who know how to use their smart phones would wear these.  I want to be them.

Please help!

Happy Monday!
