Umm Hi! my name is Maria and I am finally joining the new millenium.
Because I am soo incredibly frugal, I have hee hawed around over the ipod situation for at least 2 years now. As soon as I think I have myself talked into splurging on one for, you know, me (my kids are on 2nds, mind you) a better one comes out. So, I wait and again finally convince myself to do it and the price goes down, and I get leery, a better one must be on it's way. It is a vicious cycle, and sometimes I just tire myself out.
Fast forward through the changing of my mind 43567 times, and the actual adding of one to a shopping cart, to remove and/or delete it another 1243 times, that brings us to Friday. I walked in and my neice says "look on the table". So I look, and glory be...angels sing
THE GIRL BOUGHT ME AN IPOD!
How sweet is that? Why? Because I always say I want one and never buy it. My kids could seriously take a lesson. or you know my husband.
I have found the one electronic item that could bring me peace. Yeah, it's THAT good. A friend many moons ago referred to my tatse in music as, let me see if I can remember his exact phrase...."on crack". I can't help it, I grew up in the age of disco, bopped through the British invasion of the 80's, banged my head to some serious metal, saw the first Seattle grunge thing, and have always had a soft spot for anything groovy..you know some r&b, blues, rap. Needless to say I can now jump from Suicidal Tendencies to Elvis, and back to LL Cool J, with zero effort. Plus all my old cd's that skipped...HELLO? It fixes them...(swoon).
The only downfall? I can never use it in public...I can't resist singing LOUDLY.

WOW.
I'm a little sad.
Now that you have an iPod I do believe that I am officially the last person on earth to get one.
(sigh)
$200 is just a very, very lot of money...I might have to take the plunge though...just out of peer pressure at this point.
OMG~ I have that ...sing~ sing a soooong~sing out loud~~~sing out strooooonnngggg.
I cannot go anywhere with my ipod in my ears.
LOL I am still a Microsoft Man. I love my Zune. There is nothing wrong with toys. Treat yourself every now and again.
