In the past five years, I have had three different models of
iPhones. I’ve named them Baby, Jeeves, and Celeste. Their cases were the
impetus for naming them. Baby had a pink Otter case, Jeeves had a black Pelican
case and Celeste had a dark blue one.
Though I was critical of Jeeves’ desire for a fur-lined
Otter case and of his longing to live in Barbie’s Malibu beach house, he still
had charisma. There was a certain charm about him – probably due to all the
accessories he owned. He had two miniature replicas of the popular Danish “Egg”
chair, cherry red and electric green. He also had a small platform that he
could recline on while recharging. Plus a Bluetooth Jam Classic wireless
speaker which he used as a small end table. When Celeste moved in, she had all
of Jeeves’ furniture put into storage.
Celeste just lacked personality. I misplaced her on a
regular basis and was always asking “Where is my cellphone?” I never said
“Where is Celeste?” Whatever potential she might have had just never developed.
Recently her case started falling apart so I went to the AT&T store in
Northampton and purchased a new one.
I’ve been blessed that this location has always had great
Sales Reps with lots of patience. Today’s lucky Rep was Devyn. He assisted me
in finding the right case for my iPhone 6, but he left it up to me to pick a
color. I finally narrowed it down to the pink and the lime green cases. I asked
him which one he liked and he chose the lime green. (Thank you, Devyn!) And, that is how Jelly Bean
came to be.
And, she has a feisty personality! Ten minutes after being
in the house, Jelly Bean was demanding to know where I was storing Jeeves’ furniture.
The pieces were quickly located and dusted off. Plus, she just spent the last hour trolling
the Internet looking for alternative housing if we don’t work out. It seems
that Jelly Bean feels that having three dogs in the house is a bit too much for
her sensibilities. Jeeves’ never had a
problem with the dogs. I’m starting to realize that he was probably a keeper.
I did an Internet search on Jeeves. I found that he is
living on a small Greek Island in a house that from the pictures (love Google
Earth) looks very similar to Barbie’s Malibu beach house.
