savvyliterateI got an iPod Sunday.
An IPOD!!!
Oh, and the laptop too.
Jeff and I went to Best Buy and looked over the laptops and at first decided on a Hewlett Packard. But, they were out of stock and so we chose a Toshiba. I really like it. 512 MB DDR RAM, 60 gig harddrive, wireless card built in, DVD/CD-RW drive...it's nicer than my desktop even! We also picked up a cable modem with a router for my apartment so that I could return the modem I was renting to Charter.
So, we go to carry stuff out to my car while waiting for the computer gurus to protect the system against spyware and I asked Jeff to open the trunk since he had my keys. He hesitated and commented that I had a lot of junk in the trunk.
Eh, I thought, when did he look in the trunk? He'd changed the oil in my car earlier, and I remember he said he put an extra quart of oil in it in case I needed it. I said there was enough room and the stuff we got would be safer in there. He popped the trunk and started to open then hesitated.
"Promise me you won't be mad," he said.
Huh? "What did you do?"
"Just promise."
"I promise, I promise. What did you do?" I glanced at the trunk as he opened it, thinking that he'd dug the spare out of the bottom.
He opened the trunk and I saw a 15GB iPod staring back at me.
I nearly passed out. Instead I screamed and gave him a big hug and kiss.
Jeff bought it while I was in the bathroom and looking at the laptops. He said that the thing was mocking him, daring him to buy it. So, he went ahead and bought it, telling the clerk if I was to walk by that they were going to hide it. He was going to give it to me at home, surprising me as I played with the laptop. I said that finding it in the trunk was much better.
I have 535 songs on it now and have only used 1.4 GB of spare. I'm running out of CDs to rip too!!!
