Confession #9: In my BTBCD (before the brats came days) I used to dream
of happy family gatherings, a beautifully decorated home, and peace on earth….
now two weeks before school lets out for the holiday break, I rush to my Dr. and beg for Prozac.
People who have less than two children often comment how fun Christmas must
be in our home with so many children. HA! I really don’t do any special
planning although usually a few weeks before school lets out I get into a
feverish hyper state and ensure I complete the following:
1. Most important buy LOTS of tylenol Candy canes.
2. Have lots of empty closets to lock the children in hide the
presents.
3. Buy all my Christmas duct tape presents early when on sale.
4. Buy lots of alchol juice for the children to drink.
5. Bake cookies with the kiddies so I we can eat them.
6. Make sure all flu shots are completed.
7. See my therapist daily before the big day.
8. Get my prescription for Prozac filled.
9. Ensure there is enough Ritalin in the house for those who show any signs
of ADHD aside Josh.
10. Buy myself an updated IPod with good earplugs.
11. Develop an attitude of who cares who ruins the house it’s Christmas.
12. Count the days down to when school starts back and wish my 5 yr old terror child was in school all day.
13. Sing “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” when school finally
starts back.
14. Thank the heavens that all my children look alike! I always forget to charge the battery on the camera so I never get a lot of photos later on when the kiddies ask to see pictures I pull out those
from a few years ago and lie smile and say “Oh yes there you are!’ (come
on we all do it).
15. Book an appointment with my therapist for a few minutes after the hubby arrives home – then hull my ass out of the house!
What about you? Any special preparations you do before the big day?
Until next time

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Hrmm that was weird, my comment acquired eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that its wonderful to understand that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the identical info elsewhere. This was the very first spot that told me the answer. Thanks.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Well then, i’ll add my 2 cents to this discussion. Primary I would like to thank you pal for the duration you took to publish and discuss this stuff with other visitors… i recognize the value of that.

The most frequent error is to set up your enterprise on a individual profile and you see this a good deal on Facebook. It is effortless to spot simply because you have close friends instead of ‘likes’. Personalized profiles are for people and they have buddies, pages are for corporations which folks can then like.
YOU ARE AMAZING and I love this list
I don’t know how you do it. Seriously.
I always intend to make some foods ahead of time, so I don’t have to come up with a dinner idea every night during the holidays, but that never seems to happen.
Your house sounds so busy, Chantel – wow! But, I’m sure they all love the closeness of family… and I know the most wonderful time of the year is in early January when the kids go back to school. You know it 8 times over! (Well, not including the very wee ones, I guess.)
Happy Christmas to you all!! xox
