Day By Day - Technological Fun!

Technological Fun!

My sweet hubby came home from the store with a gift to support my new workout schedule - well, the out of water part of it! ;) A small MP3 player! I want to download a book or two at http://www.audible.com but all of a sudden, I'm not sure what I want to listen to! I'm thinking a classic - but I'm more of a cozy mystery or historical romance type of gal. So, tell me what you'd download if you were in my shoes!! Help! I need ideas! :)

This can be considered homeschooling if it's educating myself - right? lol

Nov. 17, 2006 - The Bible!

Posted by Anonymous

Been trying to figure out a way that I could take the Bible with me when I went on a walk. Is an MP3 player very expensive? What kind of exercising are you doing? If you're walking you can download podcasts on the Prevention Magazine site to help you set a pace. You could also pick songs that would help you set a certain pace. When I tread I read books so any kind of book that would really hold your attention would help you forget that you're exercising.
You go, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for stopping by my blog and adding me to your friends list. My daughter entered my home through adoption. She has been diagnosed with partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She is very strong in verbal skills and did well academically until about 5th grade when learning became abstract. Her weaknesses are more in organizing and well... behaving.

I have not ventured into the world of MP3 much. I have downloaded some sermons to play on i-Tunes on my home computer, but I wouldn't have any idea how to set up an i-pod. I am not sure what I would download to walk to. I don't think I would do a book. I get so out of breath when I am exercising, I don't think that enough blood is making it to my brain to concentrate. I would probably have to settle for music for a long, long time.

Know that your family is still in my thoughts and prayers!

Guess I should sign up again on here so I won't be anonymous anymore, huh? I just don't ever blog........oh well, you know me anyway!
Oh I hate the codes...I always get them wrong and have to do it again!

I have enjoyed reading and also listening to the Mitford series by Jan Karon, especially when read by the author herself. If you're not yet familiar with Mitford and its small town charms, you might like to check it out.

About Me

Day by Day....we strive to learn together, love each other and have some fun. Day By Day.... we strive to raise our boys to be knights and warriors for the Lord. Some days it's a struggle...

Cast of Charaters

Me - I like to read and knit. I've been a Christian for many years and loving learning about God and seeing the Lord work in our lives! I also post on my other blog, "Journaling Back To Joy"
DH - Is a theologically trained teacher of 4th graders at a Christian school. He loves astronomy, LOTR and playing with the kids! He is the funniest man I know.
J1 - 12 - our oldest. He came to live with us when he was 16 mos old and completely turned our lives inside out! While he is struggling with self-control right now - he is the one who can brighten the room just by smiling! He loves creating things from our recycling and anything that allows him to move (trampoline, skateboards, inline skates, etc)
J2 - 11 - our middle son. He is the one who I am currently homeschooling. He loves to create things from Legos and he loves movies. He would watch movies all day if I let him :( He has just had a major breakthrough in reading - for which we are praising the Lord!
J3 - 6 - my joy. He has a very tender heart for me and really works hard to make me happy. He loves to cuddle and is just learning about Legos. He wants to be with his big brothers so much, but the age difference is a big hurdle right now.
Joshie - 5/29/02 - 2/22/03 - Our surprise! Our only pregnancy that the Lord allowed - and we were blessed to have him for those short mos. We are all still grieving his loss - you'll hear alot about that from time to time. We look forward to getting to know him someday.
