iPod tastic!

Sorry for the long siesta kiddies. I've been thankfully away from the ol' computer, and I've gotta say, I really enjoyed it. I hope Santa brought all of you what you wanted. World peace is still on my list, and I'm hoping the birthday fairy will make it all good next month.

As for Ally - I've been a really good girl this year. So good, that Grandma - aka Great Grandma Donaldson (GGD for short) hooked me up with a new video iPod to replace my broken one. I officially love all things Apple. They could crap in a box and I'd probably want it because it'd be the sleek new model with a cute commercial. Damn marketing geniuses.

Here's are a few playlists that I'm rather proud of right now - check it.
