Story time, boys and girls!
Yesterday was my day off from class, so I thought I would be a good girl and go to the gym. I usually go to a step aerobics class on Saturday mornings, but since it was a Wednesday in the middle of the day, I just went for the elliptical machine. I brought my iPod for some good music while I worked out. Things were good...I was getting exercise, listening to my favorite music, and reading the captions on some t.v. show that was in front of me. After 45 minutes, it was time to leave. I put my iPod away in the brown pouch I keep it in, grabbed all my belongings, and left.
I wish that was the end of the story. Sadly, this story does not have a happy ending. I was driving back to school (which is only 5 minutes away), and suddenly I realized that I could not see the little pouch my iPod was in. Starting to worry, I turned the car around and went back to LA Fitness. I retraced all my steps from my parking spot to the machine I worked out on, but found nothing. I went to the front desk and asked about it, but no one had turned anything in. Extremely disappointed, I went back to school.
I do not know what happened from the time that I left the elliptical machine to the time I got into my car, but I do know that is when my iPod went missing. It's possible I left it at the machine, or perhaps I dropped it on my way out. Either way, I think someone must have taken it. *SIGH* I bought that iPod when I was a senior in high school, and a lot of the music on there is not on my iTunes. I will also sorely miss waking up to the sound of music from my iPod.
I am trying not to get too upset about my situation (after all, is an iPod really so important that I can't live without it?), but I can't help but feel a bit of disappointed.
Lesson learned: If you're going to take a valuable item with you to a public place such as the gym, DOUBLE and TRIPLE check that you have it when you leave!

SAD! I have always wondered what happens to people who lose their keys there, I think that would stink the most. I have seen a few people who are at the front desk and simply can't find them.
If you want a new one, check craigslist. I am amazed at how cheap stuff always is on there. Do you still have a walkman that works? There are always CDs!
Heather I am in love with your blog. Oh my goodness, cutest thing evaaaah.
Sorry to hear about the ipod. I assumed that you checked all in your car? Did you go to the bathroom at the gym before you left?
Miss you pretty lady.
this made me tear up a little.
