I’m Giving You A Longing Look*
by Leslie
Today is the day I become 31. It is my birthday, and for my birthday, iGot something iLove. Can you guess what it is?
It’s an iPod! YEAH!!! And it is the most magnificent piece of technology I’ve ever held in my chubby little hands. Dave gave it to me a day early since he’s off working this weekend, and I got to break it in during our all day mowing marathon, yesterday.
Lawnmowing + iPod = Pure Joy
I pushed Big Red with a purpose, bouncing to the music and mouthing the words. By the time I hit the front yard, I was belting out those lyrics, twirling, jumping, and kicking with my mechanical dance partner. It wasn’t until our neighbor drove by that I considered things might be getting out of hand. Moves like that probably aren’t especially safe while mowing, but then I said, “You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind. ‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they dont’ dance, well they’re no friends of mine.” And,
iPod(Leslie + Big Red) + Copacabana = HOT
so, I didn’t stop.
After a long day, we slept together last night. I awoke this morning with sore ears. I reached up to touch them and felt the little iBuds still jammed deep in my ear holes and iPod was tucked lovingly between my arm and my breast.
Today, I’m walking on air.
*Everyday I Write The Book by Elvis Costello is currently my “most played” song with 44 plays and counting…

You Should Do This

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
First, I have got to move in next door to you. That would be GREAT to look out my window and see you jamming.
Second, it is totally effed up that you are sleeping with those little ear buds in your ears. I’m ashamed to admit this, but those ear buds hurt my ears so bad that I hooked up big klunky old fashioned head phones to mine and I go to town on the dishes with them. I feel dorky wearing them, but those ear buds HURT.
Next, you must get a BOSE sound dock so that you can be jammin’ all through the house.
We love our ipods here. A lot.
Happy Birthday Buck!!
(you are 10 years YOUNGER than me. Now doesn’t that make you feel grand?)
Oh, I want an iPod for my birthday…Happy birthday, and I hope you have a great day…and yes, writing is definitely a good outlet on the crappy days!!
Happy Birthday! “I’m Gonna Keep on Dancing”….so keep it up and dance your bum off!
Happy Birthday! Welcome to the 31 club! I’m a member, initiated March 8th.
Congrats on the iPod. They are awesome, I hear. My husband loves both of his… (it’s still a sore subject in our home…)
Happy b-day! Rock on!
Only awesome people rock out to the Safety Dance while mowing the yard.
Happy birthday!
Happy, happy birthday! If you’d been my algebra teacher, math might actually have been fun.
P.S. Don’t forget to set your DVR to tape The Birthday Show

What kind did you get? I also gave up on those painful ear buds. I have the docking station in my kitchen and I love to have music on when I’m cleaning.
Cool! I want a MP3 player some day (other than my computer). Happy belated birthday! Wow, just 3 days separate your birthday and Julia’s. My wife knows how that feels like.
Happy birthday and congrats on the iPod. I love mine too except that the ear thingies hurt my ears too but I’ll sacrifice for my favorite music that no one else in my home will listen to.
Even though I’m late cause I was camping, Happy Birthday!
[…] Dave and I spent the ride home from T-ball last night re-writing the words to Loverboy’s Working For The Weekend to express our feelings about mowing the grass, which I’ve written about before. I think we’re gonna have to make a video. Maybe this weekend. […]
