I finally got every last cd I own loaded into my computer and then onto my iPod. I had no idea how easy that would be! I thought loading stuff into my iPod was going to be complicated, but I just plugged it in and it loaded itself...duh. Now I've got over 3000 songs and 2 audio books in there. I'm so pleased. I also tried out my new iTrip that Adam and Amy gave me for my birthday, it's so great. I don't understand these new fangled gadgets and have no idea how it works, I'm just so pleased that it does. Thanks guys.
I listened to Brick Lane (thanks again Georgia) this morning as I got ready for the day. I've been wanting to do this for soooooo long, but never could until now. I can't even tell you how happy I was about this, I'm on disc 5 and will actually finish this week now that I'm not limited to 10 minutes here and there. Now if I could find a robe that didn't turn me into a human crock pot I'd really be set.
The kids and I went to the library this morning. I was hoping to find some audio books to load into my iPod but they have a pretty bad selection and everything was on cassettes. The kids were downstairs in the children's section while I was looking for cds, so when I came in to find them this is how I found Whitney. Get comfortable why don't ya? How funny is that?
We then went to DI because I've been anxious to make a book run. I finally got smart and got a cart since I always end up with my arms full. I scored again and am giddy to do my special disinfecting treatment and really see what I have. I love it that I find lots of books for Landon there. It's such a luxury to have your own books at home and for .50 cents each his library is growing quickly. Whitney found 3 toys she wanted and was willing to pay for herself. They cost her $1.50 total! She willingly handed me a "green paper" and "two silver things." Our entire cart full of books and toys was only $19.00, yipee.
I just brought in the mail and had this nice envelope from Hannah containing a very nice note and 3 sheets of stickers. I love that she decided to share with me because she had extra and knew I love stuff like this. She's right. Thanks Hannah!**Where is everybody? It seem like everyone is
on vacation or something. Does anyone need
anything to read, I can hook you up?**
Happy Birthday Jenny!

Sounds like you've been busy, but have some great things going. My husband told me that the Orem library has a thing where you can download to your computer or ipod, books on tape from their website. That is a cool new thing. You might see if the library you use has that option. What is an "itrip"? I love DI for books especially. I finished "Peace Like A River" and really liked it. Thanks again for thinking of me. I am a couple chapters into the other one and will let you know what I think when I finish. My site has been giving me problems, I've tried for the last 3 days to post and not been able to yet. We'll try again today, hope it works.
I am so excited you love your ipod. Brandon keeps telling my he will get me one and teach me how to use it. I have scrated all our cd's for the car so i can't wait until I can just plug in my ipod!!
Glad you got the package today :) Your DI finds always amaze me and make me feel like I should head back there, but then you just wiped them out, so maybe I will wait a few weeks. That pic of Whitney is so awesome. I want a big chair like that man! My aunt works at the Orem library and she is very well read, so I will ask her tomorrow what their book on CD selection is looking like and let ya know if it sounds promising.
I keep wanting to go to DI and look too but I haven't I ALMOST did yesterday. I love the picture of Whitney!
Hang on. What, pray tell, is your special disinfecting treatment??
Hey! I just noticed you're reading Housekeeping! I can't wait to find out how you like it, so you can tell me if I should read it too...
Ah, the joy of iPods. I have a shuffle, which doesn't have nearly as much storage space, but it works just right for me, and brings so much joy. The thing I love most is the utter randomness of it - I seriously have music ADD or something.
I need to get an iPod too. You guys are all making me really want one.
I love the idea of getting cheap books at DI. I don't even know where our DI is around here, but when I lived in Provo we actually went to DI now and then, and we always donated. I need to find cheap kids books somewhere here....
I'm never out of town....
ahh the joys of an iPod. How did you like the iTrip? It always sucks out my battery, so I hope you have better luck. Isn't it nice to be able to plug in and have a moment to yourself.
Thanks for the birthday shout! Gosh, I feel so out of the loop and have been in a whirlwind the past week. While I was blowdrying my hair this morning, Doug told me I better come look at all of my tributes on the blog. I feel like this should of been my big 30 this year since last year was not really much. Everyone has spoiled me this year!
I am thinking about using some of my birthday money for a nano. What do you think?? Glad you love yours!
My husband has something like 10,000 songs on his iPod. He also has a number of books in his iPod library. That's what I use my iPod for mostly. I'll bet we could figure out a way to get some to you. I'll work on it.
