Jelly Bean on the Scene

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.
