itouch issues, and a new book!

Two days ago, I found myself grateful that I'd only gotten free apps so far. Why? Well, because, one day, I turned on my ipod touch only to find that none of the apps were working! I would touch one of them, they would open up, and then close after about 2 seconds. I got extremely frustrated, and almost regretted buying an itouch. After this dilemna presented itself to me, I did some troubleshooting (basically looking on the internet to see if anyone else had had the same problem that I was facing) and I found pages upon pages of ipod discussions devoted to this very topic. I sighed with relief, happy knowing that I wasn't the only one with this problem, and began reading through the various solutions. The most common solution that people came to through the various websites was just to delete all the apps from the itunes library, and re-get them all over again. If I'd spend $9 on these, I'd have a major issue with this, but luckily, since I refuse to pay money for something virtual that isn't really in a hard copy (like a computer game or something) I'd stuck with getting the free ones. So, after deleting all my apps and re-buying them, it seems as though it works again. For now. But if you stumble upon the same problem, I suggest that you do what I did and delete everything and start over. Unless you have expensive paid apps, this shouldn't be a problem. But if you do, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. But hopefully this works for you too in case you ever come across this.
So, after bidding a temporary farewell to my old book, I've started a new one, called Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch. The premise is basically a young woman growing up in the debutante society of Charleston, South Carolina, decides to find her fortune and move to NYC. She finds that she has lived a very sheltered life until then and doesn't really know how to live in such a different city. It's a really great book, I'm about halfway through and I'm really enjoying it. It's now in paperback, so run to your local bookstore and buy one.
It's, once again, scorching where I live, so I hope that wherever you are, the weather's a bit more bearable.

Love always,
Olivia
