Part One: Chris bought me a video Ipod. Can you believe it? I was in shock, pure shock. To be honest I've been drooling over them for almost a year. I was trully jealous when my friends pulled out sleek Nano's. The clencher was when Andru came over with a video Ipod. I was totally hooked the moment he handed it to me. The simplicity of design and ease of use factor is pure genius. (I shouldn't have held it - that's when the fight was over.) The set up manual is only 6 pages long. That was enough to make me want to throw the box away! Did you read that people? I said 6 pages… 1,2,3,4,5,6 pages and you're done. With 60 GB I can have *all my music and *all of my 6783 photos. Now I can browse and laugh and be sentimental over them when ever and now where ever I want. I love it, I love it, I love it. I totally set up and synced the whole thing myself. :) < can you see me cheese grinning? Itunes was really easy to sync with. Today I went off to run errands and I felt empowered to be able to do several things at once. For instance, I listened to NPR via podcast and a couple of other podcasts while I was shopping at Wholefoods. This worked out well as I stuck to my list exactly and wasn't tempted to buy anything not on the list and I got caught up on the news and had a couple laughs to boot. Apple is my new best friend. They made it easy as having a sony walkman. Remember those? Remember the yellow waterproof ones? Too bad my Ipod isn't waterproof.
Part Two: We are off to the wonderful world of sunny beaches and clear waters - Hawaii, the island of Maui to be exact. I sure can't wait to be in a swimsuit and snuggle my toes in the sand. I love Seattle but I seriously need a good dose of sun. Wish you were going too!
Oh and I have another thing I want to share before I take off. I'm a post card freak and always on the look out for cool ones. If you collect 'em like I do drop me a line and I'll send you one from Hawaii. Chris' mom Judy set me up with a nice collection binder and clear sheets so I can look at all the love my friends sent to me over the years when I'm old. Isn't that the sweetest thing? Cool inexpensive little mementos. If you feel like sharing in on the fun let me know! My email address is ponzi@lockergnome.com

1) Guess who got a video iPod too?!?!
2) Did you get a package in the mail today? (I hope so!)
3) Send us a postcard, please!
4) Don't forget to go to Mama's Fish House… I also recommend Da Kitchen in Kihei.
5) ALOHA AND HAVE A GREAT TIME!
(I was also going to tell you to take lots of pictures, but I know you will anyway!)

Seriously… if Apple supported WMA or at least Ogg, I'd be really tempted to buy one of those things.
Of course, I have no reason to. My phone can do all that and better. But if not for the Apple lock-in, those video iPods are really sweet.

That is a great idea to send postcards, but with all the activities you have planned, are you sure you'll have time? I sent out tons of postcards when I went to Madrid, and I only had time to write them out on long bus and train rides. My boyfriend at the time got pissed because it cost .75 in postage per postcard and I sent out about 40 of them. (I found it humorous, at least.)
Another idea that I got from a woman I worked with at the time: Always send a postcard to yourself, everytime you go somewhere, that way you'll really have a cool little collection.
