I like NEW things. New clothes and shoes mainly…although I am somewhat addicted to finding new beauty products (thankyouverymuch www.makeupalley.com) as well and am constantly finding something else that will REVOLUTIONIZE my hair, skin, personality, etc.
Therefore it came as a rather unpleasant surprise that I have an antique in my possession. I mean, my husband has joked I should go ahead and donate my iPod to the Smithsonian already. Sure, I’ve had it 4 years. But it still works, so why replace it? However, the cold harsh reality hit me recently when my dad visited and asked to recharge his iPod on my computer. The differences were staggering.
Mine’s a little worse for the wear, as you can see. I could believe how light and tiny my dad’s was!
The thing is there’s always something ELSE I’d rather buy. And although this should motivate me, and in fact make me feel embarrassed next time I head to the gym, now it’s almost a challenge. How long can I make this thing last? :)
You don’t have an antique, you have the time-capsule memorabilia! LOL! We recently told my sister to retire her iPod and it’s the one right after yours!
