For Julie – who’s asked twice and I was sure I answered, but I can’t find my reply! Sorry Julie!!
Check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast
Basically it reminds me of a radio program…but one you can download into your computer or MP3 player. For me, it’s allowing me to have something to listen to during my workouts. I’m really enjoying the knitting podcasts and audiobooks I’ve found online.
Thanks to my Dad’s calming presence – I am NOT going to turn into a screaming crazy-woman in front of him!! – and a few phone calls to my techno-savvy/beer-making brother I can actually use this d%&^ MP3 player now!! And, man….it’s fun!!! 🙂
I did make a choice at Audible.com – the Bible! Duh! It’s the perfect classic! I was planning to keep my membership longer than the free month but then I discovered the world of Podcasts!!
This addiction to podcasts really can all be blamed on Roe – who discovered them about 6 mos or more ago and causally mentioned them one night at our knitting group (She knits – she crochets – she’s awesome! Sadly she got a newish job and we rarely see her anymore :-(). I logged the podcast information away for “someday-when-I-have-time” and instantly forgot about it!
Then, a few weeks ago when my site went down I found time! I found two podcasts on Lost (love that show) and enjoyed them online. But then yesterday my brother explained to me how I could download them into my player and listen at my convenience!! Woohoo!
And, I found oodles of goodies for knitters! Check these out:
http://www.cast-on.com/ – my favorite! Well, to be honest…the only one I’ve listened to so far! 😉 A beautiful essay by a homeschooling mom (!!) and knitter that should not be missed!  Also, a fun song called “I hate you” – which as a coverted left-hander (long story) made me laugh out loud!
Here are some others waiting to be listened to:

And the one I’m most excited about:
http://www.time2knitpodcastblog.blogspot.com/
which is a wonderful gift to knitters – audiobooks for knitters!
Check them out – and let me know if you know of any good ones I’ve not found yet! 🙂
My hubby is just starting on an exercise program and could use some encouragement – can you visit his blog and tell him to keep going? I’d appreciate it! 🙂
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! 🙂
I’m well!!
I went to my water class today!!
I’m done with school for Jeremy!!
I’m almost done with my work for today!!
I’m knitting a new felted bag for someone special!!
I made an appointment with a personal trainer so I can exercise on my ‘no water’ days (T & F)!!
I’m feeling pretty happy with life right now! Is it the feeling of accomplishment or some silly hormone released with exercise? Whatever…it could be addicting! 🙂
