Not a Technically Savvy Type Gal

Well, I didn't think I would post again before Christmas...but I just really had to brag on myself tonight. 

After being sick for four days I finally got up the strength to get up and move about.  I really dislike being sick because I really hate being in bed.  However, this is God's way of telling me to slow down and take it day-by-day (I think).  One thing I desperately needed to do was to balance my checkbook.  Now, for those of you that know me, you know I can't go four days without balancing my checkbook.  I don't balance my checkbook in a way that most people do.  Daily, I log-in to my bank account online and I make sure that what I have written down in my register matches my bank account.  I take the balance from what the bank says and then subtract what hasn't cleared and make sure my balances match.  This is a very anal way of doing things but when you have lived from paycheck to paycheck and have had your checking account go into the negatives you get in a habit of making sure that doesn't happen (especially when you have worked hard to remove yourself from that).

I digress (because that was not the point of this blog)....this caused me to get out my laptop.  At this time I decided I would multitask (this is something my laptop may or may not let me do at any given time).  So I opened iTunes.  This is where I become un-technical.  When Justin and I were married he did all the updates on our iPods/iPhones.  So I had become needy of his technical genius to sync the iThings we had in our house.  He set-up our wireless Internet, updated our computer with the latest and greatest update things, and even made ringtones for our phones.  I could/can navigate my way through my e-mail, Facebook, even write a blog but I didn't know how to do all the iPod updating/syncing things.

So...I had to learn and it took countless hours of becoming frustrated and not knowing what to do.  I got so frustrated at one time I just wanted to shut my computer down and go to the Apple store and tell them to deal....or just call Justin....who I knew would laugh.  I didn't do that, but I did shut my computer down just to try again another day.

Today was that day.  I opened iTunes and magically it was fixed....Ha, Ha, Ha.  Not really, but I was in a better frame of mind to work it out.  I did get it all working properly....all my songs are in the albums they belong in, all the albums (except the obscure ones) have a cover, created two playlists, and even downloaded two songs! 

It is good to know that I can do it all by myself!  I am a technically savvy woman (now)!  Hear Me Roar!!
