iPod Question, plus some other stuff

[Daisy_Girl]

First, summer is kicking my arse. It is so flipping hot here. I went running this morning at 6:30 (an hour later than normal) and it was already a gazillion degrees. I wanted to run 4 miles, but only ran 3 because I was already so hot and thirsty. Ugh. Running at 5:30 is actually much nicer. *blah* But had a good run anyway!

Second, should I buy an iPod Nano or Shuffle? lol I want the Nano, but will use it 99.9% of the time to workout and the Shuffle is SOOOOOOO small and easy to wear. Decisions decisions.

Third, only ONE MORE WEEK IN THE SCHOOL YEAR! YAY! My last day is Monday 7/16 ... then I am off work until August 22nd! Woooooooo-who! Maybe finally I can get my diet in order and get some freaking sleep. My workouts have been great, but diet sucks bootie. Might post some progress pictures soon, even though I am still far from where I want to be, there is a lot of progress I have made.

Fourth, my daughter is so big. She will be 18 months on Friday. Oh my, she is so stinking cute.

Baby Daisy is a doll so cute makes my ovaries hurt.

I say go with a Nano you can get a clip or an arm band for it. The shuffle has no menu on it so if your trying to chose what you want to listen to it is a pain in the ass.

The running part good luck with that my ass only runs when someone chases me.

True - that is the one thing I don't like about the Shuffle. It is just so darn small! I love it!

LMAO @ hurting ovaries. She is a cutie, of course I am so biased. But quite the little pistol too!

She's got cheeks you just want to squeeze!! Adorable!! And how big she's gotten!

I've never had a Nano myself, but DO have the pink shuffle....I LOVE it!! I personally don't care about seeing a display screen of what's playing, so that doesn't bother me. But it cost $78 and it holds a TON of songs....I got an armband for mine that's black velcro & soft so it can be washed....it's very light also.

Jens - do you get songs from iTunes or somewhere else? Right now, I download to my MP3 player (a Rio) from Limewire for free, but might switch to pay at iTunes because I think that going to jail for illegal downloads would really suck.

Well, I doubt you'd go to jail...you'd just have to pay a fine from what I understand....

And I've downloaded so much stuff since before the crackdown, I haven't really downloaded much lately, but I haven't bought anything.....When I do download nowadays, the music downloads into a folder on the hard drive & then I just put it in Itunes via importing the song or the whole folder....

I am not a fan of the fines either, lol. I just downloaded iTunes and all my songs are imported in there now. Hopefully, I will buy some sort of iPod next weekend.

FWIW, I got my shuffle at Walmart for $78...

My $0.02 - I had the original shuffle and got the new smaller one & I love it. It has sufficiently many songs of my favs for training that I need as well as some potential posing routine things that I like to run thru. I don't listen to it anywhere else so I don't need "bigger". I just clip it on my shirt - I can't abide by shit on my arms because well, my biceps are too big for one, but I sweat so damn hard it just gets slimy & soaked.

I vote Shuffle - its cheap & sufficient - and in the gym I just can't deal w/ a heavy "thing" on me. I just need the music.

Sass - that is why I want the Shuffle. It is SO small and clips to anything. I DO really like the screen on the Nano, but in all honesty, I would just be using the iPod for working out so I wouldn't be really looking at the screen anyway - it would just be a nice bonus.

I like the smaller pricetag on the Shuffle, along with the smaller size. Esp since I am also looking into buying a Garmin Forerunner GPS watch for my runs, which has a hefty price. I would rather spend the $$ there if I choose to get one. Plus, I need new shoes, new workout clothes ...... Momma gotta go spend some cashola.
