So, I’ve been wanting to get the Nike + ipod gadget for a while now. I bought one for Joey for something (maybe his Mission Commander upgrade… what a good wife I am) but didn’t get one for myself. It’s not really something you can share. I have a 30G video ipod…. it doesn’t work on that model ipod. I found out (talking to the guys at Oura Wan a few weekends ago) that you are not supposed to run/work out with our video ipod because it is a hard drive with “moving parts”. The nano, shuffle, and others do not have “moving parts” and are good for running. I guess that’s why the nike + ipod thingy doesn’t work with the video ipod. After learning this, I bought myself a new nano and picked up the last nike + ipod gadget on-base from the tennis pro shop. On W’s first day of school (last Friday) I left myself 30 minutes to go for a walk/run to calibrate the gadget so it would be accurate for me. After about 20 minutes of walking around staring at my nano which kept saying “Walk around” I finally gave up. I walked around, jogged around, walked backwards, took it out of my shoe, held it in my hand, put it back in my shoe, walked around, stomped around, took it out of my shoe, put it back in my shoe…I WAS SO FRUSTRATED!!! IT DIDN’T WORK!!! After doing some googling, the only explanation is that the sensor that goes in my shoe must be out of battery. That’s the only explanation I can come up with. So, I returned it and now I’m waiting for the next shipment to come in… supposedly “sometime this week”. Funny side note, my friend went to the tennis shop yesterday to get a nike + ipod thing on my recommendation and they sold her the one I had returned. MORONS.

Woah… makes you wonder how many times they’ve already ‘sold’ it?
I’m most impressed that you bought your husband a gift for an upgrade. You are one heck of a wife. You’re making the rest of us look bad.
RYC: I think I’m done blogging for a while. I have to admit that I like the look and style of blogspot better than xanga, but I think I’m done. If I could write a blog directly on facebook, I’d probably do that every now and then. I’m sure there is a way that I don’t know about. I might actually cancel my xanga account soon, but I will still check yours regularly. I’d probably cancel myspace if so many of my high school friends weren’t on it. Gotta get to bed. If you’re buying gifts like that for upgrades, what do you give him when he makes commander? I’m just asking….ya know?
