A silver mirror for my living room, a sun shade for my patio and two cushions. I want to buy a lavender bush as I read that if you keep them by your garden door they repel flies. I don't have much luck with plants as I forget to water them.
Last Thing You Bought?

I have joined the smartphone world, which I had been avoiding for years. Last night, I bought a Samsung Galaxy s7. My other phone (a slide phone) started acting up, mostly the keyboard typing extra letters all at once. It was quite annoying because I text a lot. Funny how it lasted just about two years (the length of my contract with Verizon, lol). It's kind of a big phone, so I'm not sure how I will like it. I really wanted the iPhone SE, which is a smaller phone (same size as the 5 apparently), but they just supposedly came out and were on back order from the store. The camera is really sweet on this, and I imagine I will get snap-happy now that I have a smartphone. 
I'm going to try not to get addicted to it. I've already turned off many notifications to help save the battery power.

I can text much faster on the smartphone, which is nice. I called my sister on it last night, and the sound and call quality were very good. I think I will like this.

OMG yes! The difference in texting is great! I hated exchanging texts with my sister because she used her iPhone and I was using a clunky flip phone. And the last flip phone I had didn't have a camera and couldn't receive pictures, so my sister couldn't send me pictures except in emails, which I couldn't access on my flip phone.
Indeed! I can finally (almost) keep up with my sister, who is a texting machine on her iPhone.
I could never see the emoji on my phone because it could not read them. They would display as empty boxes, lol. She is very happy I've joined the other side.

No effin' whey!
I still have a slide phone, no data plan. I dislike touch screens because I always hit something other than what I am trying to click on. I get much less frustrated with real buttons I can press.

Yeah, I got a Bluetooth keyboard for my mobile devices last year, and then I got used to typing without it. But I still use it occasionally.
That's what I had, but the keyboard started going and it just wasn't worth it to get it fixed. There are so few non-smartphones anymore as well. That's what I find most frustrating. I have been hitting keys I don't want to, but I figure it will just take some getting used to. If I hate it, I have 13 days to return it.
I had no idea there were keyboards for phones. That would indeed be handy at home.

This is what I bought:
I like that it works with most devices. I got the little metal stand, too. (Scroll down a bit to see it)
I bought these cushions as I thought the cat looked like one of my cats. When they arrived and I got one out of the box my dog jumped backwards in fright when she saw it.
I then crept up to my husband holding both of the cushions and waited for him to turn around and he really jumped, haha. I'm so mature.
I can't text with my thumbs.
Neither can I!

Maybe view the link without Tapatalk?
Oh, duh...lol. It looks just like mine.
What's even funnier, is when I scrolled past your post that I quoted, just now, (in Tapatalk), the one where I'm saying I couldn't open the link, the picture of your keyboard shows up in the quoted box...so if I had paid attention, I would have seen your picture, then, when I first quoted you. *dizzy*
