If you want to be one of the finer things in life, you can't always enjoy the finer things in life. Here's to my third day of sobriety and eating more sensibly. Yes everyone, it was getting that bad.

I got a lot done last night. I saw a friend, washed my car, did some laundry, made a healthy dinner for myself, removed a virus from my computer, and somehow managed to catch two episodes of "Law & Order" amidst it all. I also cleaned the banana peel gunk off my pantry door using a 409, a knife, and a scouring pad. I am the McGyver of housewives.

Most notably, I completed the obnoxiously extraneous steps for putting songs into my iPod Shuffle. I downloaded the barest version of iTunes I could manage. Even though you can install the software onto your computer and let it totally jack up your music collection, I installed it so I could put songs into my library for the purposes of iPod-loading. It took longer than I thought. I had to copy each song into the library using control commands because Apples don't use a right-clicking mouse. Also, I had to circumvent a zillion silly features just to figure out how to get the library onto the actual device. Bah! What also sucks is that it doesn't "re-shuffle" each time you turn it on. And the "120 songs" boast on the front of the box is a total lie. And since it's white and I'm a slob, it looked dirty from the second I removed it from the box. But it suits my current need for running music.

iPod Status: Locked and Loaded. I still hate it though.
