myPod

I just won an eBay auction for my very own iPod. I should be stoked, as I got a 20 GB model for under $200 - a 50% discount from the current $399 retail. The problem is, I didn't realize until after placing my bid that it was a 2nd generation model - and not the new fangled 3G one.

I learned firsthand what an OHNOSECOND feels like, and then bartergalore added insult to injury by bidding me up to just below my max. The funniest thing about all this is that blogging ab00t it has been quite theraputic, and now I'm really quite excited to get the little bugger and play around with it. Michael has also been a tremendous help throughout this entire process, by looking at auctions with me as well as consoling me after "the purchase." He also showed me andale.com, which is a must-stop if you're going to sell anyting on eBay.

Oh and by the way I am now in the great state of Wisconsin for one last Racine "hurrah" before the move out to Cali. The drive last night was all too uneventful, and gave me a 350 mile glimpse of what driving 2,000+ miles by myself would be like - now I'm even gladder that I bought the iPod :) I feel like there were several blog-worthy things that popped into my head during the 6 hour journey last night, but of course I wrote none of them down and am now therefore drawing one huge blank. This should be an action-packed weekend, and there will be much to share so buckle up and hold on to yer britches!

• First off, gladder is not a word, at least not until they add it to the dictionary as they did ohnosecond. Second of all, mom and pop Larson took a little look see into the distance between Eagan and 6694 Allegheny Place on the Pacifica's GPS and they have reported back that it is a mere 1,180 miles there. We double checked it on mapquest and it confirmed your estimation is correct. Technology! Can't agree on anything. We're excited to have you back here in MN but we hope you enjoy your final visit to cheese country. Rebecca
