iPod

OH!!! AND.................. I finally got an iPod. Yup! Me, who loves all things electronics, never had an iPod. I didn't feel it was really necessary to get one since my cell phone is also an MP3 player. I love that, because if I'm on the train (or wherever) and blasting music, when the phone rings, the music automatically pauses.

Well, I had been kicking around the idea of getting a small iPod (a Shuffle maybe?) for the gym. My phone is a little bulky since it's also a PDA/computer. At the gym, I rarely have a pocket that my phone would fit it, and if i have it clipped on - it's so heavy it pulls my shorts down.

No comments please.

During vacation, my Sister in Law happened to mention that my nephew is selling his because he bought the iTouch. He had the iPod Nano 2GB 2nd generation. It came in the mail on Friday!!! It took all of MAYBE 5 minutes to figure out how to download to it. It helped that I already had iTunes on my computer, so I didn't have to download it.

WHOO HOO!!! I LOVE IT! Also, now that I live in an apartment, I need to be considerate of my neighbors. So, when I want to blast music, I just stick the buds in my ear and blast away!

Ok, dinner is now done. Gonna eat it and get to hooking up my TiVo.

TiVo

My beloved TiVo arrived today!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO excited! It got hit by lightening before I moved and I never had time to get a replacement. Well, I FINALLY called for a replacement a week after I moved and I didn't realize that they wouldn't send me a replacement until I sent the old one back. I realized that after another week of impatiently waiting.

I don't know why they insisted on holding the new one hostage until getting the old one back. I mean, it's not like they gave it to me for free. They didn't even give me the replacement one for free. I paid for BOTH of them!

Anyway - I am going to eat dinner as fast as I possibly can and then spend the next bit hooking it up, having it talk to my cable company, and then reprogramming all of my season passes. I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but there are some shows I love. Jon and Kate plus 8; Little People Big World; House; Oprah; Dr. Phil; Ice Road Truckers; Ghosthunters; Wife Swap; Tori and Dean Home Sweet Hollywood.

YaY!

Happy TiVo'ing,
Brenda

I vanished!

Wow, has it been a busy couple of months. Wow.

To sum it up, I sold the house, went on TWO week long vacations, had to pack the house, and then finally move.

Yeah right. I'm not Wonder Woman after all. I am exhausted. I just got my internet hooked up at the apartment, so I finally feel connected. That, and the cable. Now I just need to replace my beloved TiVo. Stupid lightening.

The closing on the house was supposed to be before vacation to Oregon. I was going to be homeless while on vacation. That closing was put off, yet again. Went on vacation and I began to lose hope that the house would EVER be sold. I've been dealing with the same buyer since April - but since this has all been without real estate, I really can't complain.

A month later he was able to finalize his financing and wanted me out of the house within like two weeks. He was paranoid the bank would change their mind. Poor guy. HE'S been dealing with this since January! Well, since I already had another vacation planned, I agreed to have the closing quickly, but to put off him taking possesion until after I got back.

The movers/packers came last Wednesday and got most of it done. Whew, what a day. I had to go back two more times and then handed him the keys to the house on Friday.

All I can say is, I am now committed to getting more organized and condensing down everything I own. I'm glad I got a storage unit a few months ago, but I still need to go through whats in there. After I finish moving into the apartment and getting rid of more things, I will start on the storage unit. When it's cooler out, haha.

OK, that's it for now - gotta go find the coffee pot. Geez..................
