Le sigh...

The house sure feels empty since [personal profile] chanteur_dombre and her husband Markle-Sparkle left yesterday.

*sigh*

I mean, they had a hotel room (because there just isn't room here unless you want to bunk in with us or the kids) but they spent their days here, and it's so... QUIET!!

*laughs*

It was a good visit, and I thoroughly enjoyed having them here. In fact, the Impossible Son has already asked when we're going to Australia to see them! "Next week, right?" he said hopefully. "Or... next month! Let's go next month!!"

Yesterday was Mr. Manzie's birthday, and we had a private, just us party for him, and he was most thrilled when he opened his present. We got him his very own iPod shuffle, a blue one (which is his favorite color), which I had to immediately load up with his favorite songs. This is to keep him from continually asking to listen to mine, and then complaining about the music I have on it. Hey... sometimes I like to listen to Mozart, sometimes I like to listen to Dir En Grey, and sometimes I like to listen to Nickel Creek. It's MY iPod!!

He wanted me to be sure to tell Chan and Markle-Sparkle that he has his own iPod, so I'll be emailing her later to let her know. I just wish y'all could hear him singing, "I know whoooooo I waaaant to take me home..." over and over again. *snorts with laughter*

This is a rather disjointed post, but I am feeling a little scattered this morning. Mostly because what I really want to do right now is curl up in a cozy corner and read, instead of scrounging up snackage for my constantly hungry offspring. Inkheart is calling my name very softly, and very insistently.

*sneaks off to get in a little more reading before the kids notice she's gone*

...sigh...

My trusty old iPod shuffle is about to die. It's the first generation one, the one that didn't need an adapter or an dock to plug it into the USB port on the computer. When THO first got it for me two years ago, it would hold about 120 songs. Now, I'm doing good to get about 90 on it.

Then, I was preparing to load a new list of music on it, and... when I popped off the cap to expose the USB connector, I found myself staring at a tiny end of data bus. I thought, "Hullo, what's this?" And then I shrugged and thought, "Oh, easily fixed."

Yeah. Right.

No, not easily fixed. I won't go into details, but let us just say that occasionally, I do run into things I can't fix, and this is one of them. It still plays, but... when the charge runs out on it, that's it. It's gone.

*sigh*

Oh well, my birthday is coming up. Here's hoping the Husbandly One will surprise me with a new one!
