At the beginning of February, one of my favorite bloggers ran a little contest. Those who commented were put in a drawing to win an iPod shuffle™.
Well, imagine my surprise when I found out that I won!!
I know some may find this hard to believe, but previous to this, I didn’t have a portable mp3 player. Between the two of us, my hubby and I have thousands of songs that he painstakingly converted from our CDs to mp3s. He has our computer iTunes™ set up so that our music will play on the stereo system out in the living room. And, as hard as it is to believe that music lovers such as ourselves could go without, my hubby and I never jumped on the iPod bandwagon. We would have loved to have one, but it was always in the Want Column, and never in the Need one.
Last year, my hubby won an iPod Touch™ at a conference, and he was thrilled. And, now, with this stroke of good luck, I’m the proud owner of my very own iPod, too!
My iPod arrived on Friday!

And, imagine my surprise when I saw that Nicole had it engraved! What an awesome idea! How cool is that?!
I could pick whatever color I wanted, and yes, I chose hot pink. It’s sassy, and I love it. Plus, this way, my hubby won’t be tempted to steal it. I hadn’t figured in how much Claire would love the color when I made my choice, so I’ll still have to keep an eye on it!
So, Nicole…thank you so much! Now, I have no excuse to not fully join this century when it comes to listening to my tunes! This totally made my day, and I can’t wait to fill it up with all my favorite songs.

Aw, you’re so, so welcome! I have that exact same one (hot pink is obviously the way to go) and get tons of use out of it.
Hope you love it

I have an ipod – it sat in a drawer for two years while I revolted against not using my cds. a year ago I loaded it up with songs and haven’t played a cd since.
Before purchasing my IPOD I actually had my casettes…I only recently got rid of them…
I have the same little hot pink number.. I love it for when I’m exercising!
I love the way you took the photo!!
Nicole, I love it!
Terra, We still use CDs in our cars. We never let them sit in there, tough, so that thieves aren’t attracted to it. But, I have a CD stuck in my car stereo right now (that’s a whole ‘nother post!!), so I think we’re going to go to a different system there…
Princess Extraordinaire, I still *have* my cassettes…I just can’t play them.
Bonnie, isn’t the hot pink one fun!!
Gretchen, thanks!! I wanted a way to show the front and back of it at the same time!
