I broke down and bought the iPod Nano today. I had gotten a rather nice gift card from my students and had enough on the card to buy the Nano, the docking station, and the lanyard with the earphones built in. I got the 4 Gig white model. It’s very nice and so light. I can barely feel it around my neck. It holds much of my music library but it’s not large enough to hold all my photos too. I know I probably should have waited to buy one until MacWorld Expo in January but I’m impatient like that.

Today I also got a new phone. My service plan with Sprint had been up since August and I haven’t done anything about upgrading it or getting a plan. I got a flier at work about a discount so I went to the Sprint store today and checked out all the phones. I decided to down grade the plan and not get the phone with a camera built in. Not having the camera built in, I didn’t need the vision part of the service plan. So maybe my monthly bill will be a bit lower with the discount and not having the photo part. But then again it might be a bit higher. I got a second phone with a second line for the boyfriend for his birthday. But don’t tell him! It’s a secret! hahaha

And finally my new digital video camera arrived from Amazon today. I got the Canon Elura 85. It’s an upgrade from my last camera and has a few more features I was looking for. My last camera is more then 2 years old and died a few weeks ago. For some reason it stopped recording and playing. It wasn’t worth getting it fixed so I just went ahead and got a new one. I am loving the new one so far. Hopefully I’ll be back to producing videos for the website soon. Maybe next week I’ll have something to post.

On another note, the boyfriend is away for a week visiting his family in New Orleans. He arrived safe and I hope he is enjoying the time with his family without being too upset with the devastation around him. And of course I am missing him terribly.
