We had a ton of mail that the post office was holding until Mon. And my other pair of shoes finally came. Now there's just 1 more that I'm waiting for. My iPod was not in that mail because I have to sign for it. I signed the little yellow slip & put it back in my mailbox, so I should get it either today or tomorrow.
Recently Rhapsody joined the list of music compatible with iTunes & the iPod. I use the MyCokeRewards site to put in the numbers on the inside of Coke product tops. Then you can redeem the points for stuff. Rhapsody is on there, & I now have enough points. That is probably the first thing I'm going to do when I finally do get my iPod.
By the way, that MyCokeRewards site isn't bad. I've already redeemed for a $25 gift certificate for a restaurant we've wanted to try. It's a good deal...Buy nothing / Get something. Some friends are saving their Coke tops for me.
There's a site called BuyMyTronics.com. This guy will buy any electronics you have to sell. It can even be broken to bits & he'll take it. You can get an exact price of what he'll pay also. This guy was on some news show I saw a few wks ago or I wouldn't have known about it. My old iPod, which is no more than a paperweight at this point, isn't worth much, but it's worth more than nothing. I'm going to send it to him. He'll deposit the money in my PayPal account. It's worth more than what it would cost me to ship it.
Garbage truck just came & Sparky is barking like a wild girl. But this will not wake her brother, who is dead to the world until around 11:30 or noon. He's going to be getting back on a more normal schedule soon because school starts Aug 11. First day of high school - 9th grade. My baby is growing up too fast.
Jan & Julia & boys are coming out here for a visit in 2 wks. Seems funny because we were just there in VA visiting with them. But they are coming for a wk to see Jan's parents. Their hotel is about 10 minutes from our house & about 50 minutes from his parents' house. The kids will still get to hang out together for a few days. Alex'x cell phone slipped out of his pocket while in the car going to the airport. He called it, Jason answered. Jason will bring it back when he gets here, so Alex is without a phone for 2 wks. I think he'll survive, but he has his doubts.
Yesterday Alex asked me if he could stay at my mom's house for a day or 2 & spend some time with her. I called her yesterday - No answer. I will try her again today. He also wants to spend a wk-end at Jack & Jonella's when they're back from their cabin where they spend summers.
July 18 (Fri) Another pair of shoes came. Now I'm just waiting for the last one. And my new iPod came yesterday. Alex called me as soon as it was delivered because he knew I've been waiting anxiously for it. It's beautiful. My new best friend. I'm hoping to be able to load my library onto it this wk-end. I think we're going to Lewis's parents' this Sunday, but Saturday is clear. Except we have to straighten up for Mon when Hilda & Blanca come to clean.
Lewis is working at home today. No hearings today. He made breakfast for me & brought it to me while I was in the bathtub. He's very kind like that.
We're all happy to be back in our routines. Alex has been trying to get kids to come over but they all seem to be tied up in camp or something. This is only the 2nd yr he hasn't gone to camp in the summer. Last yr because of his bar mitzvah & this yr because he went to Israel & then to Virginia. Too much time gone couldn't fit into any camp schedule. He would always miss part of a wk. He was even considering doing the CIT (counselor in training) this year for the JCC. Maybe next summer.
Speaking of Israel, with the pictures Lewis took & the pictures our friend Dirk took I'm going to put together a very nice scrap book for Alex. Lewis saved the itinerary & other things like that for me to include. It will be a nice thing for him to have.
July 20 (Sun) Just got back from visiting Lewis's parents in Sun City West. Sevilan is having knee surgery on Aug 4.
I finally got all of my songs on my new iPod then backed it up on the external hard drive. Can't take any chances anymore. Worked on it most of yesterday. I had the time because Lewis took Alex & his friend Josh to see that new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight". They said it was great. The best one yet. Then Alex spent the night at Josh's. Lewis played tennis this morning (every Sunday). On the way to Sun City, we picked him up at Josh's house. He told us what Josh's mom made him for breakfast. It was a huge breakfast. Then we went out for lunch & Alex was still hungry. He's growing so fast. And he's really tall now.
Alex is supposed to spend the night at my mom's on Weds, but Lewis may need to take him to the orthodontist on Thurs a.m. so we're not sure this will work out. Maybe he can stay there on Thurs night.
Back to work tomorrow. Why are wk-ends so short?
Hugs,
Candace
