I'm a happy girl!
You know why?
Because I just got my new 160GB iPod Classic!
I have seriously been wanting one of these for years. I literally have hundreds and hundreds of CDs and I wanted to be able to have ALL my music in one place without having to worry about running out of space.
My last iPod was only 2GB, which didn't even hold all of my music from iTunes.
But then...God smiled! I won a contest in our apartment complex of which the prize was an 8GB iPod Touch. I wasn't really interested in having a Touch...I just wanted all those 160 GBs! So, what did I do? I found a buyer for my brand-new, unopened iPod Touch on Craigslist, then combined that money with leftover birthday money I've been holding onto....and ta-dah! I had just enough to pay for the iPod I actually wanted!
Now I am a very busy girl as I begin to load all of my CDs onto this new beauty. The result will be exactly what I've been dreaming about: Music Heaven!
One of my very favorite artists of all time is Celine Dion. And I'm not afraid to admit it.
I know there are a lot of people out there who can't stand her. Or that there's the 'I'm-a-woman-so-I-must-be-a-Celine-Dion-fan' cliché. And in fact, Matt makes fun of me for liking her.
Celine and I go way back. Back before her mega Titanic "My Heart Will Go On" hit. Back to when I was thirteen and I saved up my own money to buy myself a stereo system for my room {with a three-disc CD changer and remote!}. The very first CD I ever purchased for myself was Celine's Falling Into You album with her famous "Because You Loved Me" song.
I own at least eight of her albums, maybe more, including one in French. I just adore her voice. And her songs are so passionate and powerful, they often leave me with goosebumps.
I've never been to a Celine concert, however. And I must also confess that I do love the "My Heart Will Go On" song from Titanic. There. I said it.
So you can judge me for being a die-hard Celine fan, and I won't let it bother me.
I'm quite certain that for the rest of my days, Celine Dion's albums will always remain part of the main soundtrack of my life. And that makes me happy.
