A Sirius Mistake

So...I have a birthday coming up, and what I wanted this year was a satellite radio to accompany me during all my new found hours in the kitchen. The main reason I wanted it, was to listen to Oprah and Friends which debuted yesterday. I love all of Oprah's friends, but Marianne Williamson is the big draw for me. My b-day isn't til the first week in October, but Todd, ever so thoughtful...went out, bought the radio, unsealed painted shut windows on our old house, and climbed on rooftops, to place the antennae in time for opening day.

We've had our new radio for a few days and it's great. I've enjoyed NPR in the kitchen during the countdown to the O love fest. Yesterday...was the big day. Turn it on, baby! Turn it on!

Well.

Oprah and her friends aren't on Sirius (the type of satellite radio Todd bought). They're on XM! We thought a satellite radio was a satellite radio? We didn't know you had to get a specific kind of satellite radio? Sniff....sniff.....we didn't know.

So...there's still NPR, and all Todd's football games come in on on this one.

Hey.....wait a second.

Pretty soon you can use the above link to listen to Oprah and Friends online, Michelle! For now, you can take solace in the knowledge that Howard Stern is also on XM radio, so at least you don't have to hear him every day ;-)

I HATE it when stuff like that happens -you buy the wrong thing because EVERYTHING is so complicated these days - so many choices it's hard to know what you're even buying! And then you come to find out that the radio happens to have the football games...of course. Does that mean you have to listen to them?
Get another one - the one with Oprah!!!

Still love that Hot Toddy! But DO get the one you want. If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

Glad I'm not the only one who's siriusly challenged when it comes to this stuff.

I'm with Carrie--trade it in. The heart wants what the heart wants.
