My New iPod

So I bought a new iPod this morning. I could not resist any longer and went out to get the new iTouch version of the iPod. Verdict: I LOVE IT!! I did debate for several minutes whether I was going to get the spacious 80GB or the sleek new 16GB. The smaller hipster won. I will be saying goodbuy to my little trusty napster mp3 player I've been using for years, apple just keeps improving their product and it's about time I converted.

Giving It A Chance

I started seeing "In Treatment" on HBO. I have no idea how long it has been running and have caught a few episodes out of sequence. The first episode intrigued me. I'm not sure if I will continue to see it for a long time. I am giving it a chance. The same I must admit I am trying with my relationships. I am currently gving it a chance. I find myself giving everything a chance right now. This is a very odd place to be in, not a common place for me. I've always been hopeful, but I knew the direction I was facing. I honestly find myself with limited control and that is the most difficult thing I have to deal with.

Charlie Playing In The Snow

Charlie Playing In The Snow
The best part of the snow is seeing my dog have fun playing in the snow. Like any typical terrier he loves to dig, but since I don't let him dig holes in my lawn he knows digging through the snow is allowed and takes advantage of it whenever he can. This weekend was the perfect weekend for him. So much so that he kept barking for me to let him out to play. I was more than happy to oblige and take pictures in the mean time.

Happy Groundhog Day

Local News Channel headlines this morning..'Windy City Woodie' Predicts Early Spring!
CHICAGO -- "Windy City Woodie" did not see his shadow, meaning spring will come sooner, said Helen Schubert, spokeswoman for the Flower and Garden show.
...
The woodchuck came out of his home to nibble on the plants "for a snack," played on some nearby snow banks, and then went back inside without seeing his shadow, King said. If he had seen his shadow, he would have been frightened, and would have returned to his home to sleep through six more weeks of winter, according to King.
This is muic to my ears! I am frankly tired of all this snow pile-up and moreso shoveling all the accumulation to clearaway a walkway in my sidewalks. My favorite season is spring and the earlier it starts the sooner I will be happy.

Hiding Away

Chicago was hit with a major snow storm last night well into this morning's commute. I awoke this morning to my alarm always set to the news. After lihestening for a few minutes I was frightened. I turned on the TV for a visual and all the local media channels headlined with the weather and morning traffic mess. I contemplated heading in and potentially dealing with the mess myself. I let out my dog and got a look at the slushy pileup myself. I caved, I'm a chficken. I did not leave my home till 5pm when I eventually headed out to shovel my sidewalks. I'm getting tired of this snow. I tried not to complain, especially after receiving a picture from a friend who lives out west, where 3 feet of snow has accumulated.
