Oh Yeah, I'm Hip

Okay, I'm officially the hippest 40-something mom around! Thanks to some of my precious girlfriends, I am now the proud owner of this:

Oh yes, let's all stop and enjoy the beauty of this little ipod shuffle for a moment. Yep, I'm cool. I'm so cool that it took me 2.5 hours to figure out the blasted little guy, and as I was attempting to plug it in/charge it/download songs, I realized our computer didn't have enough usb ports because it's so stinkin' outdated. :-) That's how cool and hip I am. So I had to unplug the keyboard to plug in the ipod, but then when I needed to type, I had to do a little shuffling of my own. heh. Sweet mercy, I need a little updating around here.

Seriously, I absolutely love this thing. It's 12:30am, and I'm jamming to Big Daddy Weave while I type. I can barely even hear the sound of my fingers hitting the keys on the keyboard. The scary thing is, several times I've caught myself about to sing out loud, and I mean OUT LOUD! My poor babies would be frightened out of their beds.

To my girlfriends who celebrated me tonight, thank you so so much for blessing me with your friendships. And thank you for working together to make me one hip mama. You are deeply loved.

Now, how do I turn this thing up?
