So, remember how my iPhone was stolen back in April and I had to use a crappy flip phone from the days of yore until my contract was up and I could replace it without, as Mrs. Darling would say, paying a kidney for it?
Well, that was officially on September 5th, but I kept hearing about how the iPhone 5 was going to come out in September so I thought that was lovely timing. Until September came, and they started saying October. When I started hearing possibly next year, I decided to stop waiting and get an iPhone 4 this weekend.
Other important info that ties into this little story: Jesse has been on his break between his internship and returning for his last quarter of school, which means that Boss really hasn't been left home alone (or crated) much at all. Basically, on Friday nights when we go on date night. Like, last Friday and this past Friday. Well, we came home Friday evening to a *very* nice note from our neighbor (no sarcasm), letting us know that Boss has a shrieking/yelping tendency that sounds like someone is beating him.
Awesome. I thought we were past this.
So, Saturday, we bought the iPhone 4. And we were supposed to go to the engagement party of one of Jesse's friends and his new fiance. Except after the Friday night note, I didn't feel like we could just leave Boss home alone. So, I called my friend who agreed to dog sit for a little while so we could make an appearance at this engagement party.
I used my new iPhone to find our way to the party location, the apartment of the newly engaged that we had not been to before. We parked, in the rain, about 3 blocks away and made a run for it. When we arrived, we found a secured entrance. So, Jesse tried to buzz the apartment. No response. Called his friend. No response.
Then some dude that lives there came out, so we went in. This "apartment building" was a converted old mansion with no apartment numbers, just names of suites. Jesse thought the party was in "apartment B", but clearly that didn't help us. So we just wandered around the old mansion trying to listen for anything that sounded like a party.
Then it hit us that we could use the iPhone to look at the Evite again. The whole smart phone thing really is a lifestyle change (both ways...I was a very frustrated Pegs back in April when it took 10 minutes to send a text). So Jesse looked it up and...
the party is NEXT Saturday.
Are you friggin' kidding me, Sharp?
I told him he could go get the car by himself in the rain and I would wait for him to come pick me up.
Thus begins...life with Jesse. But thankfully, also life with the iPhone.

I agree. I don't know how I did stuff before my iPhone. And hey - at least you got in a test run for the party!
can you hear me laughing all the way up in your neck of the woods? BECAUSE I AM DYING. men are insane.
for instance...sunday morning. we skip church because chad worked basically 48 hours straight and i was up a lot with ruth. so, he's asleep and ruth and i are hanging in the bathroom while i fix my hair for the day. it's 11:20 and ruth is about to take a nap. chad's phone rings and he silences it which means it's his mom (he rarely answers her calls). then all of sudden i hear him say loudly, "OH CRAP!!" he comes running in the bathroom telling me we are supposed to meet his mom and brother for lunch at 11:30 in a town 30 mins away.
he not only forgot to tell me but forgot altogether. i just stand there staring at him like he's a lunatic. um, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. i didn't say anything and he walked out. a few mins later came back and said he called and canceled. yeah, like i was going to go anyways.
seriously. it's amazing the things they forget.
also, poor boss! how did you solve the anxiety problem before?
Girl. Two words. Bark collar.
