I Got My iPod

I am so excited. I finally got my iPod. Not only that, I got the one I wanted, the 30gb black ipod with the full color screen and everything. I am not quite sure how to work everything, but I will figure it out. I downloaded the Mandy Patinkin album I bought a couple of days ago. I am not looking forward to converting my CD collection, but it will be worth it when it is done.

Well, I have to go to bed now. I have my first night of orientation in the PICU tonight, so I need to be rested.

Rest In Peace

I woke this morning to the news that Steve Irwin had died. My first thoughts were of a vibrant, full of life man; it was inconceivable that he could so suddenly be gone. My second thoughts were for his wife and children who have lost a husband and father.

In our house, Steve Irwin was a god. My Olivia adored him, she loves watching him on Animal Planet. She would have only been too happy to be packed up in a box and shipped off to the Australia Zoo. We tried to be VERY careful about not having her see any episodes with Bindi because it would all be over for her. Of course, she saw Bindi in spite of our best efforts. You should have seen her eyes.

I can't even begin to imagine the pain and loss that is being experienced by those who love him. By all accounts, he was a wonderful husband and a very involved father, my sympathies lie with Terri, Bindi, and Bob this morning, as well as his friends and colleagues.
