mid-afternoon

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, it’s 6:22am and my schedule is turned upside and twisted sideways and I don’t know if I’m supposed to be awake or asleep or what days I went to bed.  However, right now I’m going to bed after working all night/morning, but having had a couple of naps yesterday evening, after going grocery shopping, instead of going to bed.  Got that?  Me neither!  I’m going to sleep, and then we’re going over to my parents’ house for a Memphis BBQ Thanksgiving - turkey, ham, and prime rib.  Yum!  Leigh-Ann and I will probably make a small Diestel turkey sometime in the next couple of weeks, but part of that is because it’s just such a delightful scent for the house for a day or so.  But really, if turkey wasn’t your thing because you always thought it was dry and icky, get a Diestel from Whole Foods.  It’s fabulous.

If you watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, my niece is going to be in it.  She’ll be with a dance group from California.  Although, I guess I don’t know that all the kids are from California.  Anyway, she’s in either the second row or the second-to-last row (apparently they switch it up at some point) and then the instructions of where she’ll be in the row got somewhat confusing.  Near Santa or next to Godzilla or poking holes in balloons or something.  I’m recording it, so I don’t have to worry about missing anything.  I’ll see if I can post some still shots here.

terribly early in the morning

iPod Touch - Lesson 2

Hmm, I don’t much care for the new cheapie pair of Coby earbuds either.  They’re tons better than the ones that came with the iPod because I don’t feel like weeping when I have them in, but Leigh-Ann has a pair of noise-cancelling headphones that I tried yesterday…and yummy.  Yeah, they’re much much bigger, but they’re super comfy and the sound is good too.  Oh, and I finally figured out how to get the music from my computer to the iPod.  For some reason, the first couple of times I tried to sync it, it didn’t work.  Now I have a few poor quality kitten movies from my camera, a bunch of Podcasts, and a few albums uploaded.

I ordered a case today.  Well, I ordered one last week, and it was the really hard to find Belkin Folio leather case in Pink/Chocolate and I was so happy when it came within two days.  Then I opened the box.  It was a pink metal Nano case.  The company was nice enough to let me keep the case anyway, although because of its low sale price, it wasn’t worth it for them to have me send it back.  Today, I ordered a cool iFrogz wrap.  Unfortunately, they didn’t have the pink that I wanted, but I thought the red looked nice too.  I can’t wait to get it because I don’t like having the iPod out of the box without anything protecting it.  It seems so, well chunky and glassy and breakable.
