Have you seen the Disney MixSticks? They are like iPod's only cheaper....and they don't hold as many songs....but man are they cool! My friend was telling me that she got her daughter one, and I have been wanting something to take walking with me, being that I look so out of date carrying my cd player with me....lol. So today whilst at Target, I picked one up for....my girls! Yeah, that's right....the girls. Okay, okay....I got it for ME. I didn't pick the Raven one, or the Tinkerbell one....I got the one that is all silver with the signature Disney "D" on it. It is really neat....and you wouldn't believe the sound that comes out of that thing! Amazing. I tried it out on my walk tonight and it was awesome. I have been wanting to add a bit of jogging to my routine, and this is going to be great....no skipping cd's! Obviously, this was very easy to set up, being that I am severely technologically challenged. I was worried for a few moments, even had JB look at it for me to make sure I was charging it correctly....turns out I did it right! Go me! LOL....Betsy was less than impressed with it, however wee one can't wait to use it. I suppose that means I'll have to download some of her music too....but that's okay. I don't mind.
I did my bunny shopping today. I decided to go with dvd's all around. I got a solid chocolate bunny for each, peeps and jelly beans. Oh, and I did get some Butterfinger and Cadbury caramel eggs to round things out. I confess....I did eat an egg....but I'm happy to say that it wasn't as spectacular as I remembered them to be. Yes, sugar and I are taking a "break" in our relationship. I know, it's shocking to hear....but we need some time apart. We've been close for so long....but things have changed recently. So much so that....and this is for the ladies, men turn your heads!....I had to buy new bras!!!! I'm so excited. I went down a cup size! Of course, my cups still runneth over....just not as much. I was thrilled....lol.
Wee one is fighting a cold right now. This morning she took 10 minutes to deliberate weather or not she wanted to go to school. She wants to have perfect attendance....so she ended up going. She has been going to bed early though, with a stuffy/runny nose, sore throat and sneezing. Poor kid. Betsy is working until close tonight, which means a late night for her. Luckily her friend got his buddy's parking pass (because UN-luckily for him he got his liscense suspended), and is picking her up every morning for school. She gets a whole extra 10 minutes to sleep now! And I get a half hour since I don't have to drive her to the bus stop. Yippee!
We got our third and final estimate on the air today....and it was more than the first. So....we are going with the first guy who came out. I'm glad too....he's a really nice guy, early 40's with his own business. Apparently last year his wife died of lung cancer....very sad. We are just waiting for the callback to schedule the signing away of our savings....sigh. But, it is quite the necessity here in Florida!
Okay, it's late and I'm gonna settle in on the couch whilst waiting for Betsy. Later gators!

I'm getting more and more jealous! Yes, you certainly are going to be that final inspiration that I need to get out there and walk more!!! Hope Wee One feels better, and she should really be commended for going on to school to keep her perfect attendance. I think that's great.

Aren't those MP3 players awesome?!?! Who would think such great sound comes out of those teeny, tiny things! LOL! And, woo-hoo, you are thinking of jogging now too?!??! WOW! I am impressed! I refuse to jog until I get back to an A cup thank you very much. So, that means like never! LOL! I have to do my bunny shopping today before everything is sold out. The two youngest still believe in the Easter Bunny, so it's tricky, tricky, tricky.

Awe the poor AC guy losing his wife. That's really sad. I'm glad you picked him. That's a cute pic of you in the sidebar. Very cute! I didn't easter bunny shop yet. Tomorrow probably. The ipod sounds cute too.
Sounds like you are still doing great on your exercise routine (unlike some of us, grrr!). Hope everyone is happy and healthy! Hurry and get that AC done, the 100 degree weather will be coming soon! "Hoppy" Easter :-)
