OUCH!

Don't you hate when it hurts to laugh, sneeze, or even lift yourself off the couch... I certainly do. I am in the middle of hating myself at the moment, simply because I skipped the gym for nearly a month (shameful, I know). I was at my peak at the time of our wedding and then, even though I swore I wouldn't, I let myself go. It was totally unintentional! Between catching up with friends I hadn't truly hung out with for months before the wedding and searching/settling into our first home, I undid a years worth of hard work. Well that statement isn't completely fair. My four pack is under there, solid as ever, it's just covered by this past weekend of binge eating and some Stella Artois.

Sadly, my iPod has died. D-E-A-D. Even P couldn't resuscitate it. I am one of those that needs to jam out during my workout, it puts me in the zone and I am a horrible mess without it. Yesterday, the Village People's "YMCA" came over the radio, while I was at the YMCA. I found that to be a bit tacky and it made me long for my iPod even more. However, I don't want to buy a new one. I've only had mine for 2 1/2 years and I am pissed that it gave up on life so quickly. Now I have made a pact (almost a double pact I guess) with myself. If I continue to go back to the gym on a regular basis, usually 5 days a week as I did before, and if I stick to my "no beer" commitment through the end of September then I will go out and buy myself a new iPod, if P allows.

Or somebody could save me from all this nonsense and find a way to bring my iPod back from the dead. Any geeks out there?

Have you taken it to the "Genius Bar" at the Apple Store? They fixed my iPhone...

I didn't know about such a place. Is the Genius Bar out at the SHort Pump mall store? And more importantly, am I going to have to fork out a bunch of cash?
