iPoded up

I've been delaying doing this because I didn't want to type so much on my iPod. You'd think I'd be at least slightly more proficient with my tech friend than I really am considering the countless hours I have spent on it. I got it for a birthday present while I was pregnant and didn't really use it much at the time. It was difficult to play on inconspicuously at work, not to mention the limitations of its fun factor in the absence of wifi. Towards the end of my pregnancy my eyesight was at an all time low and the screen just got smaller and smaller so I had to relegate the iPod to its original purpose. Then came baby. At her most time-consuming, I spent 3 hours every evening with her on the front porch swing. It was the only way to get her to sleep so I faithfully did it, even though it was July in Georgia. It was around this time that I discovered the iPod's amazing time wasting abilities. I subscribed to every blog I heard of that sounded even remotely interesting, I started checking all those failblog type websites that are addicting, I played Scramble and Hangman and I read Dorian Gray. My time spent sitting on the swing is over, but I still use my iPod more than anyone I know. Yet I still am annoyed by the idea of writing anything more than a quick text.
