Getting Over Myself

So after yesterday's panic attack and meltdown on the blog, I decided that I have two choices.  Return the shoes and give up before I even start  OR get over myself.

I've decided to get over myself.

I'm probably the last person left on earth who doesn't own an iPod of ANY variety.  I've just never seen the need for one or felt the urge to get one.  First, I'm not that big of a music person in that I don't need to listen to it for long periods of time.  I'm perfectly happy to listen to the radio or the CD player when I'm in my car.  Second, I have never been a fan of earphones, and I'm fairly certain that ear buds would drive me completely nuts.  Thus, I've resisted any kind of portable listening device for the last 100 years or so.

Until now.  Last night, after I shut down my pity party and put my big girl underwear-britches  on, I ordered an iPod.  Just the shuffle.  No need to go crazy when the ear buds will most likely drive me berserk anyway.

Then I downloaded about 392 songs from the iTunes store and they're just sitting there in some cyber-holding-cell waiting for the arrival of the iPod.

Who knows?  Tomorrow I might turn into one of those people who rides along in the car listening to her iPod instead of the radio.

(I seriously doubt it, though.  I'm just trying to get over myself, not ahead of myself.)
