Finally!

Last week's insomnia, which resulted in either almost no sleep or anxiety-ridden sleep, finally caught up with me last night. My eyelids began fluttering shut around 9:05 pm. Within minutes, I was dreaming of India although the light was on in the bedroom and Husband was reading a magazine next to me in bed.

Barnes & Noble finally received the Hindi course I ordered last week. I picked it up on Saturday afternoon, and was relieved to find that it came with a book and two CDs. Then it occurred me that the only place I can listen to the CDs is at home or on my laptop, which is not very convenient. My iPod is a Shuffle, which means that I can't organize MP3s and select which files I want to listen to. I don't think that I want my Hindi lessons to come on while I am at the gym, between Madonna and the Beatles.

I wracked my brain. Finally, it hit me. I could use the Barbie Girls prototype MP3 player for my Hindi lessons!




Oh, this combination of learning tools cracks me up.

Just a reminder: tomorrow is finally May 1. Every first of the month is Blog Exchange Day. I didn't sign up last time because I was in India, but tomorrow my usual crazy rantings and stories will be over at Web Kittyn Warbles and Web Kittyn's insights will be here. The theme is Mother's Day.

  3. Just hit up the gym with your Hindi blaring while you gulp down a refreshing Lassi. I'm sure you'd get some interesting looks.
