There's a New Kid in Town...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I'm probably the only person under the age of 30 who hasn't owned an Ipod or MP3 player or something like it. Greg got one a few years ago from work and I've used it occasionally, so I've been thinking for the past year or so that I would like one of my own. I've been saving for a little while now, and with the generous contributions from my birthday, I finally had enough cash to buy "mine very own." (Brooklyn language.) Greg gave me an Itunes tutorial last night, and I'm well on my way to being an Ipod pro. Don't expect to see me anytime soon without wires hanging from my ears. (Just kidding. Major Pet Peeve: Listening to Ipod 24/7. Seriously folks, do you really need to be listening to your Ipod while grocery shopping?)

Here's a question for my fellow bloggers/Ipoders: Now that I have the coveted Ipod, what are the accessories I just can't live without? Any suggestions??? I've been wondering about putting a shield on it. Good idea? Bad idea? Oh yeah, and if you are still wondering what you can get me for a belated birthday gift, feel free to get me anything pink and Ipod related. I won't be disappointed. :)

Speaking of music: It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Greg's playlist tunes were all country songs by MALE singers. Funny that most of the music on my newly acquired Ipod is country by FEMALE singers. For those of you who took a guess (incorrect or correct), check the mail, because your Reese's eggs are coming soon.

And because no blog post would be complete without the center of our universe, here is our little buster playing outside last week before we received 65 feet of snow and the temperature plummeted to 30 degrees below 0.

Get that and then you can join Mike, Cathy, and Mallory in Nike+ challenges for exercise.

I would go for invisi-shield
it's simple, and protects your ipod without looking way gay
I think covers are great.

It's about time you got one. You definitely will want some kind of a shield or protector on it to keep it looking good. I would also get some kind of speaker so you can listen to it while you cook, clean, sew, etc.

Don't let the age thing get to you. I bet I'm the only person over the big 5-0 that just got one, and only because my sister Sandy lent it to me. I love it, it's just that I forget to recharge it most of the time.

I was thinking to deep like both of Garrets grandparents listen to them or you can't help putting on tight wranglers, cow boy boots and chew on some alf-alfa when you listen to it. (Jeff)

I love my ipod armband. I just strap it on when I go to the gym and it makes my workouts a little bit less mundane!

I thought I'd take a look at your blog, your family is so cute! Happy Birthday and I will sadly admit I have yet to own a MP3player or IPOD either.

If you are going to be using your ipod for workouts, you definatley (did I spell that right?) need comfortable earphones that fit your ears. I have the hardest time finding ones that will stay in my ears. If that isn't enough to tick you right off, every pair I have ever bought has shorted out within a few months. Probably because I play with the cord when I'm running. I finally splurged and bought some Nike ones that go over your head like a headband. They stay in my ears and hopefully don't short out anytime soon. Whoa...long comment:) Well come to the ipod generation!
