I'm Blogging This
Wearing my new "I'm Blogging This" shirt today... I get a lot of looks mostly of confusion, I think. Today is the day that I embarked on my trip to Elemental Embrace in Canada with Lucia. My flight was scheduled to leave at 6:19am... and it did... without me. Last night I packed and got ready and before bed asked The Husband to set the alarm for 4am. In the normal daily life of my household I would have double checked the alarm. In fact, I almost did but the last time I had him set the alarm there were no problems so I didn't.... and I should have. I woke up at 3am but figured I should take the extra hour of sleep... I next woke up at 6:07! I woke up and screaming "Oh my God, I've missed my flight!" Daughter asleep next to me, wakes up with a start, The Husband looks and freaks out along with me. I begin to cry... The Husband says to calm down (Yea, dude, easy for you to say... you haven't just missed your flight). We call the airline and truly a miracle happened. You see I'm flying on frequent flier miles (which miles I have been saving for 7 years - no joke - for this trip) and they never have seats available last minute... but a miracle occured and they had a flight leaving two hours later... and here I am on that flight (well, at least writing on the flight.. I'll upload in Chicago). Poor Lucia will have to sit in the airport waiting for me for a couple hours but I'll be there.
I borrowed my neighbor's iPod for the trip...I am now officially hooked on digital music. I want one... but I'm just not sure about the iPod vs. the iRiver. iPod plays only MP3s, iRiver plays both WMA and MP3. I have a lot of WMA but I can always convert them to MP3. You know the biggest complaint I have about the iPod... how the hell do you turn the thing off!?!?!?! Yes, I realize you just let it sit but it turns on magically while in my bag and takes forever to turn off...waste of battery!
