♫ Lost No More ♪

It has been close to a year since I have seen my little guy. I thought I accidentally threw it away. You see my old purse had a hole in the lining, and my little iPod would always get lost in between the leather and the lining. Before I threw away the purse I THOUGHT I had thoroughly checked it to avoid such an occurrence. I haven't bothered replacing it because I was determined that in fact it was not in the purse I threw away. I have since been searching for almost a year. A few months ago when my computer crashed I lost all of my songs from iTunes! Five years worth of music!

I got onto Apple's website to look for a customer service number. Only all I could find were numbers for local Apple stores. So I called the Apple store at the Fashion Show mall and explained the situation. "Well did you back up your library?" The lady on the other end of the phone asked? "Yes," I lied, "but I backed it up to my external hard drive and it crashed too."

After continuing to lie about backing up, I was told that there was nothing they could do. Are you kidding me? I've spent 5 years downloading songs for $0.99 each, and there's nothing you can do? I asked if they have my account on file, and could send me a disc of my library or soemthing, "No" and "no" They are just a retail store and help desk not an actual customer service line. After much debate and questions it was determined that in order to get my music back, I would need to find my lost iPod.

While camping, Griffin brought his iPod, and listened to it most of the weekend. I made a sarcastic comment about wishing I had mine so that I could seclude myself from quality family time. Just then he asked me, "is it the white one, just like mine?" "Yes, why?" I asked. "Dude, it's in my room. It's been in my nightstand drawer for like a year." WHAT? I know for certain that I've asked EVERY member of my family numerous times if they had seen my precious, and every time, the answer was "No, but you can listen to mine if you want." While that was a very nice gesture, nobody's music is as good as MY music.

Needless to say, we are now reconnected. Once again I have 967 songs at my fingertips. I even put all the new stuff I've downloaded in the last year. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to listen to classic songs like, "Scatman."
