For my trip and an early b-day present, Philip got me an iPod. I didn't think I'd be so into it, but it really saved my sanity on my trip. It was great tool to put me in that software testing zone. 10 days, 10 hours a day, in a very small room with the same 9 people was not what you call good fun. I probably have hearing loss from listening to the iPod loud and then turning it up louder to drown out the guys next to me talking to his computer. I {heart} my iPod!

jojo was nice enough to share with me too...Although Rastafarian Elders should have sent me to a spiritual place, and wasn't the ideal selection for software testing, I got some new favorites from jojo's generosity....

MAROON5 is surprisingly very good! I'm sure you'll love it too. Rock, Funk, Pop a mesh of the best...

Although American Idol has promoted Clay(Alfred E. Newman's twin more, RUBEN STUDDARD has an excellent album. It's probably the best true R&B album, I've heard in a long time.

Jojo also shared a bunch of eighties, old school, slow jams, prince and stevie and I {heart} them all too!

Now, it's OK for Philip to steal my CD's and keep them in his car, I can just have them all on my iPod and be a happy chica...

Linkola: Rosque's LJ Site has been pretty entertaining lately! I can kinda tell what he's talking about now. He's also got me craving steak and rice.

My boys picked me up at the airport on Saturday afternoon. It was the greatest feeling in the world to see the two loves of my life once again. I pray that I won't have to leave them again any time soon. JonP grew only a little and changed only a little, so that I wouldn't feel so bad missing out on two weeks of his life.
He now acts like a little boy. He likes to throw things and yell and doesn't like to be cuddled or kissed too much. He's still not walking, I think he saved it for me to get back home.

It's so nice to sleep in my own bed, next to my husband (with the baby squeezed in between us). I'm happy to be home in our mess too.

Now, I just have to get over this jet lag and everything will be back to normal.
