Drowning It All Out

If I could describe myself as an adult it would definitely include "behind the times" when it comes to electronics.  Not that I don't know about the new stuff, in reality I find it very fascinating.  I just don't OWN any of the new stuff.  So far we've stayed away from purchasing big ticket items when they first hit store shelves and wait for better deals after the BUZZ has quieted.

But now that I've started putting my Christmas present to good use (just a few 9 months later) ...the MP3 player Larry got me...I feel lame for not putting such a prime piece of electronic equipment to use sooner.

I guess I was intimidated by the whole concept of downloading music and then adding it on to a little palm-size digital piece of gum.  And now that I've taken the plunge and filled it with my old cd's, I'm hooked.  It helped me add 3x's the length to my running this week.  It's strange how music has the power to drown out the sounds of my body saying screaming in pain to stop and filling me with giddy-ness as I sing along to N'sync, Spice Girls, Destiny's Child or AC/DC.

(I wasn't lying when I said "behind the times"!!  Well at least my CD collection is.)
