Packages, big and small

This past week was a happy mail week for me: I got two packages in the mail. One was quite small: a Sansa Clip mp3 player. I've never had a mp3 player before (or a walkman or any other portable music device) so this is quite fun for me. I chose this one because it was tiny, inexpensive ($35 with free shipping), and had a view screen to select songs. I bought it primarily to listen to my Hypnobabies scripts, but it also picks up FM radio. I love listening to NPR when I go on walks now.
The other package was large and soft: a wine red Mamaponcho. I received some unexpected (but very much appreciated) graduation money from my parents and grandparents, just enough to buy a Mamaponcho, which I have wanted for years and years. It's made of pure wool and can be worn with the baby on the front or back. I am soooo excited to use it!

  4. I love my MP3 player, both for Hypnobabies and for other things. Books on tapes, talks, etc.

  10. I love that poncho! But, yikes! I couldn't believe the cost when I did the conversion to US dollars. Makes me wish I knew how to knit.

  11. Yeah, it's really pricey, which is why I have admired it for years and never bought one. I actually found the best price via a Canadian store; with the current exchange rate it turned out to be less than any of the U.S. sellers that carry the Mamaponcho.
