OK so I am playing catch up big time
At work and at home and at church (my other other job) and for all of you out there in blog-i-o-land.
So Wednesday night when I was wanting to be in a better more beachy place, we had the baby. That’s right we MexiMelt and I took the bun out of her oven.
And for all the cliché sayings that people say that I usually hate I swear I cant help it I love that little tiny person more than anything she has in the short 6 days she has been here, moved me to tears given me something to talk about, made me rethink everything from why I am alive to why I volunteer to how safe the house is in our neighbor hood. I have randomly talked to strangers with children in the grocery and walked rather menacingly and threateningly towards guys who looked like they needed it. I am different and I love my baby girl.
So I have all of that on my plate and I have this huge crash in my MINI, so I am dealing with the insurance and I swear I have had no trouble with GEICO until now and let me tell you, it is not about the cheapest payment it isn’t. it is the customer service. When you crash your prize possession and you inconvenienced by the whole thing already it boils my blood to have a blow hard ass of an adjuster call me and tell me that he might need me to pick up the tab getting my car towed to the repair shop. What an ASS. I wanted to jump through the phone at him. Told him I am getting the car fixed at the Mini Dealer because they will fix it correctly, the closest dealer San Antonio. “Well I don’t know if we can do that” I said “oh we’ll do it alright, I take it there for everything including oil changes, that is where it is going.” I can’t stand it when people think they can push me around into what they want. Arrrgh
So it is like I have eaten garlic pizza and then I am surprised by a birthday cake and I love the cake so much and the party is great and then I belch garlic. I am still loving this cake but the garlic dear God it is strong.
resurrection

So just in time t teach me a good Jesus lesson, my iPod came back to life last night. Mandy of you know I paid extra for an iPod interface deal in La Mex’s Mini so I could use the pod as a type of music bank on the road. It works almost as well as they said it would at the dealership. Well if you were to use the iPod as Apple would have you to it would work even better.

I don’t sync my music into play lists that often. This could spiral out of control about Mac vs. PC real quick I know but that is not where I am going with this.
Saturday we went to supper at Habana’s and on the way there my iPod just blipped. It stopped playing and would not reboot for days and days. It would not do anything, no forcing it into disc mode no charging. I was getting frustrated. Of course the number one thing they say to do is “make sure your iPod is fully charged.” Ok I left it on the wall plug in for two days and nothing. No charging sign or nothing. So last night I plugged it up to my computer and B-I-N-G-O it began to charge and this morning it is back and as good as new. 
It came back to life and it was deal for let me see 3 days just like Jesus! Well what do you know, and just in time for Easter. Now I have a story to tell the kids at church. Stop rolling your eyes at how utterly shallow this is.
