Life in a nutshell

Well summer has only just begin and is almost over all at once.  Kids have all grown up tons.  Ashlyn and I have started knitting thanks to grandma.  Baby projects have kept me busy and so has Natalie.  In my spare time I've been teaching myself to sew from what I can remember of my dear old mom's sewing lessons.  We have lots of family coming to town at the end of this month, sadly Karlie won't be here to see them.  Obviously she's disappointed, but there isn't anything we can do.  The rest of us are all looking forward to seeing our out of town family.  If you count the months by dividing the weeks then I'm 8 months pregnant now (gets confusing since there are 40 weeks but only 9 months).  This is my most active baby so far.  He's been kicking early and kicking tons!  It's nice to know he's doing OK in there so I don't mind.  I have a big court battle coming up with the ex....other than that, nothing else is new. 

Puppy?!?!

iTouch vs. Zune

At first glance the Zune looked like a great product because it was nearly the same as the iTouch but you can get the radio and it's much cheaper.  Keith bought one so he could listen to the radio at work.  Within about a week and a half his brand new Zune kicked the bucket.  He got online and figured out the warranty process so I drove it to the UPS store to be shipped back to Microsoft.  A few weeks later we got back a refurbished Zune.  Kind of BS since we paid full price now for a refurbished product.  Zune number 2 didn't last a day, so we sent it back and got yet another one.  Guess what, Zune number 3 also didn't work and we're still waiting for Zune number 4.  Now that we've had a Zune since April and so far never had one that works AND have a year warranty that somehow expires in February I'd say we're a bit disappointed.  To top it off, the warranty is only good to the original owner, so we can't sell it and have the person who buys it covered under the warranty and according to different forums it's impossible to have Microsoft refund your money. 

In the meantime, Keith broke down and bought an iTouch.  It's awesome and so is it's warranty!  It has a ton more accessories as well as apps.  As for the Zune, maybe we can sell it on ebay (if it even works) and recoup some of our lost money.
