[Chevelle-list] lost keys, lost ipod

Tue Nov 25 12:04:15 MST 2008

Too funny. Sounds like something I would do, and having just spent many 
hours loading songs into the ipod my son just bought me for my birthday, I 
know how upsetting it would be to lose it  ;^)
I'm also good at hiding things and forgetting where, so I usually tell my 
husband too, but there have been times we've both been unable to 
remember/find stuff.
