Hurley Headphones

These headphones remind me of Hurley. You know, one of the Oceanic Six….the six “survivors” on the tv show Lost. Do you remember the first season when he found the headphones and he wore them all the time until the batteries died? I know it’s a tv show, but I felt so bad for him when those headphones finally died! Lol!!

This past Christmas, Nik asked for a pair of “Hurley Headphones”, but we flat out forgot to purchase them and they were even on sale! I know, I know, we are such horrible parents, but when I get out in all the Christmas mess, I don’t fare so well! You can give me a list, but I’ll probably lose it within the first ten minutes in the store!

I do wish I had remembered that he wanted a headset though because I think I would have liked to use them too. Right now, this very minute, it would be nice to have headphones so I could listen to music rather than my whole entire family yapping about having to vacuum and take out the garbage!

Fortunately for me, this Creative HS-600 Headset is on sale right now! For only $27.99, I can have peace and quiet…forget about Nik it’s all about me now! Lol!! Cool Beans!!

Hearing the "Cool" Music

Just a few months ago, Jake won a contest at our church. The contest was centered around giving the youth group a new name and new logo. The person who submitted the best name and logo won either a gift certificate or an iPod. Jake was thrilled to find out that he had won! Nik, on the other hand, was not too thrilled because he had actually given Jake the idea that had won. After much family discussion, both boys decided to choose the iPod and share it. In all honesty, I don’t know exactly how it all was worked out because, at some point in the discussions, my eyes glazed over and that’s when Pete stepped in to oversee the “deal-making” session. I believe that Jake ended up selling the iPod to Nik…at a huge discount! Just as long as it was all worked out fairly, I’m ok.

Now that we have an iPod in our home, Nik is always trying to get me to listen to a “cool” song…”You’ve just got to hear this one, Mom…you’d like it!” Seriously, I may like it, but he offers me only one earphone and I HATE to listen to music that way!! It completely drives me nuts! I also don’t have the time to stop and put both earphones on and listen to “cool” songs a bazillion times a day. I know, I know, I’m a horrible mom but I’m just trying to be real here, folks!

So, it is for this very reason that I am going to suggest that Nik purchase this iHome iH80 iPod Speaker System so we can all enjoy the “cool” songs together and we can all be one happy family because I’m not having to deal with the little earphones!!

Right now this speaker system is on sale at Buy.com for $36.99 plus the shipping is FREE!! Seriously, I really do think that I can talk Nik into buying this speaker system and if he won’t budge, I can probably make the purchase myself….but don’t tell Nik that!!
