Today marks the day I've been waiting for three years to experience. The iPhone is officially at Verizon. I know that may sound trivial, but I can be that shallow. I love all things Apple. If I didn't have the past experience with AT&T that I do, I probably would've made the switch when the iPhone first came out. My sister has one. I've gotten to use it only a couple times because I actually drool on it when I use it. I love the thing.
Unfortunately I'm not due for an upgrade for a bit, so I'm having to hold off on my dream of having one for a short time. Not that I'm complaining. It is in my future and all the bugs can be worked out on the new network. Then you'll probably see posts from me on here that I'll be writing on my iPhone. My stomach just did a little dance of excitement. I know some of you think I'm taking my love to a weird level, but I'm sorry, if loving the iPhone is so wrong, I don't want to be right.
I was listening to Air1 this morning and they were talking about all the people outside Verizon, waiting for the iPhone since Verizon put a hold on pre-orders. They were amazed that people would wait in line, in the rain, for a phone. Obviously they don't understand all the awesome that is the iPhone. They wanted to know, what would you wait in line for. I thought I would answer that question here. I'm going to come out and say Jesus won't be on the list. That's a gimme and He's supposed to come like a thief in the night, so a line really isn't appropriate!
Here's my Top 7, Letterman style:
7) Black Friday sales - Every year I stand in line for some kind of sale. Usually it's at 4:00 am with my sister, mom and aunt. Last year it was around 10:00 am with my aunts and uncle in Texas where it was sunny, warm and we were outside. It's nice to bring a new generation into the mix!
6) Tickets to any Beatles concert - Granted this wouldn't have happened in my lifetime because The Beatles broke up before I was born and John Lennon was killed when I was 3. However, as Cher said it best, if I could turn back time, I so would've been in line anywhere they were playing.
5) Dinner at Club 33 - I used to work with a gentleman who loved Disney. He takes trips down there several times a year. Last year he had the awesome privilege of having dinner at the super secret restuarant in Disneyland, Club 33. It's a high scale, gourmet restaurant hidden in New Orleans, I believe. It's a member's only club that was originally created to woo investors. 33 of them to be exact. Now, the member list is full and you have to know someone who is a member to even get in. There are many famous people on that member list, but many of them still remain a mystery since that's part of this club's charm.
4) Pam Clarke - Many of you have no idea who she is, but in the world of quilting, she's kinda famous! She's an incredible quilter. If she was having a day where she would quilt something that I made for free and all I had to do was stand in line, I would be camping out!
3) John Travolta - I actually did wait in line to meet him and it was worth every, painful second in those heels. His sister Ellen is a director of the arts in Couer d'Alene, Idaho. She hosted a fundraiser where all the Travolta clan would be there. I had to take a large boat across a lake and then wait in line for at least 60 minutes just to shake his hand. I bought new heels just for the event. I thought I would say something like, "tell me about it stud" or "fine, ferget it" and be all dramatic and yet show my love of his movies. All I could muster was, "hi" and smile. Totally star-struck. The picture made for a great Christmas card since my name is Kelly and so is his wife.
2) Sandy Gervais, Kate Spain, Nancy Halvorsen - All these ladies design fabrics and quilt patterns. They are among my favorites. I would wait in line to meet any of them. They are amazing!
1) A Mediterranean cruise - if it was a first come, first served cruise around the Mediterranean (and legit), I'd be in that line for months if I had to.
Happy Verizon iPhone day. What would you wait in line for?
