How I got a new phone - The trauma behind the rosegold

It's been a while since I've written/updated! I've not had internet for FIVE MONTHS can you believe that?! It's been a struggle, updating from work or my parent's, but as of yesterday I am now online again. So you wouldn't know unless you've talked to me in real life that I fell off my bike a couple of weeks ago! More Steve was pulling me like a small freight train and I wasn't paying close enough attention and hit a small piece of tree shrapnel that sent me off kilter and suddenly I was airborn, then slamming onto my hipbone with the thought of "oh that's it, I've broken my hip! I definitely broke my hip! It's broken". Spoiler- didn't break my hip, but I did have some nasty scrapes to clean up, and a shattered iphone 4s. As I pulled to the side of the road(not even a block from my damn house), Steve fretted over me hurting more than helping as he tried to lick me and then sit on my lap. The mailman who happened to bare witness to the no doubt stupid looking chain of events worriedly asked me about 4 or 5 times if I was alright as I tried to get the wind back in my lungs and assess if I really was okay. I was just a little upset and in a lot of pain. A crunch from the sight of the fall caught my attention and I realized a car driving by had run over my sunglasses which had evidently fallen off my head. Perfect.
Being the badass I am, I picked myself up and walked Steve, my bike and I home and bandaged my wounds. The hip gash being so large my Lisa Frank bandages were useless, so I taped a panty liner over it. I was a hot mess. But guess what, I got back on that bike and we rode for about an hour afterwards!
Well this story leads me to the point of this post, which is to show off my new phone!! Which was long overdue, and in desperate need after my old phone bit the pavement. Unfortunately I didn't have a case on the old one so the screen cracked, but still worked long enough to finish off the pay period. I'd been lusting after the rosegold 6s since I saw it's introduction when I worked at the wine company and had nothing better to do than surf the web for hours at a time. With this years tax return glory, I was able to finally call it mine! And check out that adorable phone case I picked up from Tilly's. Probably should get something more tough, but I'm extra careful with it now because I love it so much. Okay, here's a few more gratuitous photos of my new gadget.

Biscuits and Gravy

Thanks to another pinterest recipe I was able to make a delicious breakfast for my little brother Duke, and I :) Simple biscuits and gravy, but oh such happy tummy food! When I did the final step to add the milk it seemed like I had made a mistake, it looked like meat cereal! I was worried I read the recipe wrong and Duke was like "add more flour" but I double checked and kept stirring, and then after a few moments it fluffed up into perfect gravy! So delicious.

Sleepy Duke haha

Binx

My new roommate Courtney moved in and I just adore her! I’m so stoked she moved in, we get along great, she helps me with Steve, and she’s super sweet and helpful. Well in getting her as a roommate, I also got to meet Binx, her bearded dragon! Here’s a couple photos of him I got on the night I met him. I got to hold him and I was super nervous, which is weird because I’m normally so brave about animals haha. I think because Steve was nearby and I didn’t want him to get weird and protective of me and freak out Binx. Anyways, he’s awesome and flattened out like a pancake and crawled on my chest and up onto my arm. He likes kale and crickets haha. Home just got a lot more welcoming!

Steve is unsure, and thinks Binx could be food.
