Move into the music

^^^^Not to be confused with moving to the music^^^^

I've had an iPod for years, but recently I've come to realize how wonderful it really is. My new favorite thing to do on days where I'm so over listening to whining kids, the sounds of toys, and cartoon noise is to hand off the kids to Dale and plug myself into the nearest iPod. It's seriously fantastic to just lose yourself in the music while you clean, read, sit, or run.

I have found that when I can't hear what's going on around me, I'm better able to concentrate on the task at hand (given of course that it doesn't involve talking). Dishes, laundry, cleaning the bathroom... no longer annoying tasks. Just leave it to me and my iPod. :)

The iPod also rocks my world in the marathon training department. The beats help me keep pace, and many times, helps me to run faster. It's awesome.

I'm starting to sound like an infomercial or something, but really, what did people do before iPods?

Walkmans, I suppose :)
