Okay, now that school is out I have no excuses not to write. Tuesdays are now “Top Ten Tuesdays.” Everyday in December, I’ll have my own personal top ten. What’s yours? Today’s is Elizabeth’s Top Ten Things I really Could Live Without but Really Don’t Want To. I also have an unrelated Poll, what’s your vote?
10.) Plasma HD TV. Even watching football is really cool in HD. Who am I kidding, I’d watch football on a 13″ black and white. It is amazing to see each blade of grass and drop of sweat. Gray’s Anatomy is cool in HD, too. McDreamy is nice to watch in a 42″ HD splendor.
9.) iPod Touch. E-mail, internet, music, games, podcasts all in the palm of my hand. The internet is a little more user friendly on this iPod than a tiny phone screen.
8.) George Forman Grill with removable plates. It is easier to clean, enough said!
7.) Cordless Headphones. I am going to bed earlier these days, but still want Jeff in the same room. I usually sleep through anything, but not right now. Cordless headphones give him great sound and me peace and quiet. Plus, they can be used on an iPod or anything else you would use headphones for.
6.) Downy Wrinkle Releaser. I don’t do laundry and now that I don’t have to, I don’t iron. Downy Wrinkle Releaser saves me from getting out the ironing board, waiting on the iron, filling it with water, emptying it, letting it cool, putting it all away. Yuck!
5.) Podcasts. These are genius. I can plug into iTunes at work and anything that I want to learn about or am interested in or want to be entertained by is at the tip of my finger. I LOVE podcasts and wish I knew about them earlier. I am working on my own…more to come!
4.) Garman. I am not sure how I managed without my navigation system. It helps me when I’m hungry to find something to eat or the nearest gas station, too. Genius!
3.) DVR. How can you be a parent without being able to pause live TV or tape something to watch after the kids are asleep?
2.) MacBook. It is light, fast, I can not say enough about Apple products. It makes the novice feel like a tech geek. I hardly go anywhere without my MacBook. I’m in love, again!
1.) Cell Phone with e-mail. I can not be disconnected from the world. My cell phone has text, cell phone, camera, navigation (great if you need to find a place to eat nearby or a particular store!), e-mail and internet capabilities. Plus, I am always connected no matter if there is WI-FI available or not, unlike with my MacBook and iPod. I am deeply in love.
