Apple Ipod Touch

On Saturday night we got my new Ipod touch, hubby wanted to buy me a Ipod but had to save for it for a little while. He got the nano, which is nice, but I really wanted the touch. So hubby and I agreed I would pay for the difference which is fair. He got himself the nano, so it nice of him to offer to get the same thing for me and if i want something different then it could be me who pays for it.
So We got my Ipod touch at Wal-mart, and their replacement plan, which is good. So we got the Ipod home and I put it on the computer to charge wow it takes a long time for this little battery to charge up from nothing, but it does play a long time after being charged. I had it on all day Tuesday and played with it a lot Sunday. I decided to download 1 game, and 1 map thing, and the rest songs.
The frustrating thing about it when you want to sync it to the computer it doesn’t have a click here to sync. It took me a while to figure it out and I got frustrated with it. I deleted my play list once, and had my list doubled once. So I got a little annoyed then I couldn’t figure out how to add songs to my list. Yeah that was a lot of frustration. Homesharing had us ticked off.
Well I love my ipod touch it’s great, plays loud enough when it not with earphones, and battery lasts a long time. We ended up going to Apple store in Edina, and talked to them. They do appointment only but squeezed us in. Which was nice of them. They got our answers to the question and homesharing actually wasn’t a nightmare like we thought it might be. Hubby had to sign my account into his computer, and keep it with homesharing, and I had to sign his account into the computer, and okay it then sign out and then put his account in homesharing. So know we are sharing music, which is nice because he had several songs or albums i wanted.

The Honey I’m sorry moment

On Friday night my husband and I had a little disagreement. He was convinced he could see the cop light flashing at 98th st. from hwy 494 which isn’t exactly possible. What he didn’t explain was that he wasn’t all the way to the hwy and the accident was not all the way down to 98th. So I told him you can not see that far, not even on a good day, or I would have changed roads. Well there are a couple of close little hills to these points and if both are on the top of the hill you can see things. He raised his voice at me, and I yelled at him. Yes I yelled at him, I wasn’t feeling good or at least not emotionally. I stay home all day take care of dad take his crap and then he comes home and is grouchy at me. I just wasn’t in the mood.
Well we made it to our restaurant and frankly I wasn’t talking to him. Until he brought up the church and worship team, and how I was on it.. I didn’t get the email. So he called the leader, and it worked out where hubby just forward me the email. I still was fairly cranky at hubby, and dad. I don’t know why, I feel so uptight Friday. Hubby kept bugging me about wanting to go to the book store, and I told him I didn’t want to until I knew how much I was spending on the Ipod touch we was getting. Well at the restaurant we ran into some one from our congregation. We talked to him for a few minutes, he’s one of those people who seem to put a person in a good mood just by being around them. I don’t know why, everytime I see him if I am in a mood, he normally brights it by a simple hi. :) So we was eating and waitress came back at the end of dinner and told us one of my customer paid your dinner. Wow, how nice. Well Hubby started feeling bad because of being difficult with me. He wanted to go to target. Wanted to say I am sorry, and get my honey I love you gift. He saved for a little while to be able to help me get a ipod touch. So we went to target.
Okay this is the first place we went wrong. Hubby and I find a ipod touch we liked, and the stuff we wanted. We never came home with it that night because the guy at the register did something wrong and then voided the credit card transaction, even though we told him not to.. Hubby wanted to pay 150, and I was going to pay 108$ pretty much hubby paid the same price he got on his. I got the warranty, and accessories, which I had to pay for. Well the guy at target told us he could do it as 2 transaction. Okay, great well he missed up put it all on hubby card, which meant hubby only had 20$ in that account.. Ouch, so hubby got loud, and sometimes that threatening, which anyone who knows hubby knows he sometimes get loud when frustrated. I do to, so people must think we are going to kill each other but neither one of us get physical with the other. He a good man, but I can see how the guy would have simply froze but shoot he should have called for help if he didn’t know what he was doing. The card company was going to keep a hold on it for 48 hours, which upset hubby. We where taken to customer service, and one of their people dealt with us. He gave us 4 coupon with 3$ off because of how badly the cashier did with dealing with us. He sees us always in there getting our products, so he was concerned that customers like us was upset. And I have had some troubles there which has probably been seen, but i have always been nice, even when one of their cashier was rude with me. So we are know, but even I have moments. The guy at customer service did a great job dealing with hubby, and I took over dealing with him, and got hubby on the phone with the card company. Target faxed a form over to the card company to get hubby money set free.. In the end we got my honey I love you gift from Wal-mart for a little less but more on that later.
We decided against target because walmart was a little lower cost, and the mistake that happened.

Connectland Ergonomic cooling stand

My Toshiba laptop has been running so hot lately that its burned me a few times, and now I got a ugly red patch on the top of one of my legs. It not blistered thank goodness because I would bring it in, to Toshiba with my poor legs, and show them, this is running way to hot for safety. My computer has always ran a little on the hot side during the summer doing homework was unpleasant because it makes you feel hot having something hot in your lap.
So I decided to go to newegg.com, goodness I love that site, next on my list is Window7, Visita crashed my poor laptop to many times with the updates it keeps trying to give me, so I am annoyed.
Now with the new cool I think my lap top needs some quick weight loss because it has made it heavy, but I rather that then the other. I love this little cooler, it the same size as mine, it for computer 12 to 17 inches, and it turns around too, so I don’t have to pick it up if I put the laptop on the table and want to show dad or hubby something I can just set it up and turn the computer, no picking up required.
It also adjusts the fan in 5 setting counting when it on the flat setting. The fan is protected so it can’t get a bunch of cat hair from the pants or what have you. I can lay it on the floor and not worry if it hasn’t been vacuumed because between the fan and floor there a barrier.
I am very happy with this product. It takes a lot to keep me happy, I’ve had it for a week. So I will see how long it actually lasts. By the way no matter what I do about the cat hair, I think shaving the cat bowled is the only way to solve the cat hair problem, he sheds on command.
