Itty bitty things

It is...ahem...snowing out. But it’s pretty snow, not the “gonna bury you ha ha ha” kind. So it’s rather enjoyable looking out the window at the lazy flakes. And here you probably thought I’d never say a good word about snow again. But I’m in a great mood anyway because…

The UPS man visited me this morning and left a package on my doorstep. A tiny package even.

These are miniature iHome speakers, small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. Such winsome little things. They hook into my laptop with a USB cord to charge them and there is another cord to hook into the earphones jack. They’ll also fit into iPods and other audio devices (like my tiny television). While the sound isn’t as sumptuous as larger speakers, they produce a hearty and respectable sound. Considering their size, the sound is amazing.

When the lad left for school, he talked me into letting him take my desktop speakers. He had already absconded with my Bose speakers in August. And that left me with zero speakers. I’ll get my Bose speakers back eventually, but a little something would be nice NOW. So...here they are and I am so pleased with them. Not only decent sound, but they are tiny. I love tiny. They go with my house. When I’m finished using them, I can tuck them into the little drawstring bag that came with them.

Today my house is filled with tunes. Makes me want to do some waltzes with my broom. I suppose I should anyway. Everything (and anyone) works better with music.
