Santa/friends

Santa was good to me this year (ie I have amazing friends). Christmas morning I was getting ready to go to my parents house, and took a bag of stuff downstairs - - there was a box for me from "Santa" at the door. *Sigh* God has given me such fabulous friends.

It contained all sorts of things: chocolate & candy, slipper socks, microfiber cloth, ornament, lip balm.... and a 1GB MP3 player. How exciting is that?! I actually turned the box over in my hands two or three times before realizing what it was. I've already started putting music on it - mostly Jack Johnson.

When downloading the software for it last night, I learned you can buy a palm-sized speaker attachment. I'm thinking that could be really convenient at births - load up some super-calm birthy music, and then I wouldn't have to go scrambling to find a CD player that works in the hospitals. The MP3 player will do 10 hours of continuous music before needing a re-charge. (The speakers run for 20 hours on 2 AAA batteries.) Ooh what exciting possibilities.
