How my iPod came to be

I am loving this weather!! Sunny, low 70's, with a slight breeze. Perfect day to sit out on the porch and read; which is what I just did for an hour. It was nice! Now I have gardening on the mind. Lots of pretty flowers and plants. Tall glass of lemonade. Even mowing the yard! While listening to some music on my brand new iPod touch. An awesome surprise from My Prince!!  

A few weeks ago, we were up super late doing school work (think wee morning hours). Both of us were very much ready for bed, but there were deadlines and things had to be done. So there we sat at the dining room table. Books and laptops spread across the table - and two cups of coffee. I was acting as his "research assistant" - gathering info for one of his philosophy papers. :) Now, although I desire to be Tony's joyful helpmeet at all times, it does not always happen. I do not always approach these tasks joyfully. And as the hours passed by that night, I was becoming less and less joyful - more and more selfish. Maybe not so much physically / verbally, but more-so in my heart. And it was around that time, that Tony graced my hand with a kiss and told me that he had a surprise for me. (Yes! Talk about hot coals.) He knows that I love surprises - especially from him! He told me that it should be here toward the end of the next week. Yay!!

Well the surprise took a little longer to arrive then he expected. I tried to wait patiently! ;) During the course of the following weeks, I gained a pretty good hunch of what the surprise was. Last Thursday, as I was leaving the house to meet Tony for lunch (Always nice to see him mid-day!!), there was a small package on the porch, so I brought it with me. It was addressed to me, from Electrolux. My surprise!! We opened it together - and there sat my new iPod touch. And the best part... we didn't have to pay for it. Tony won it! "Congratulations, By random you were selected as one of the 10 lucky winners in the Electrolux video challenge." So exciting! And as you can see, I've already girly-fied her. She has a couple outfits - one pink and one purple. It is great for main-streaming all my lists - to-do, groceries, etc. And the integrated calendar is already getting much use. Such a great surprise from my bestest friend!!
