Some women want diamonds

Earlier this week, Mr. M said he had a surprise for me.

Sometimes, he gives me a surprise and then I have to figure out what it is. Once, while I was out of town, he had all the windows cleaned. When I came home, he wanted to know if I liked my surprise. It took me about two hours to realize that the reason it looked so sparkly sunny outside was because all the rain shmootz was off our windows.

This time, I was pretty sure I hadn’t already received the surprise. So I asked him what it was. He wouldn’t tell me.

Two days ago, he asked me how I liked my surprise. I said I loved it, even though I had no idea what he was talking about. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

Yesterday, the UPS truck came while I was in the shower. I knew this because our very loud UPS-man-on-the-porch alarm went off. This sounds just like the Fed-Ex-guy-on-the-porch alarm. Also the cat-walking-down-the-sidewalk-on-the-other-side-of-the-street alarm.

After I got dressed, I looked on the front porch. The box said BOSE on it, so, natch, I assumed it was for Mr. M. He has quite a sound system in his office, and I figured it was one more piece of equipment.

But it was addressed to ME. And this is what was in it:

speakers

Mr. M said he’s been noticing me watch things on Hulu on my computers  He thought I would enjoy it more with better sound.

Forget Hulu–you should hear Ben Harper and the Blind Boys now. These babies go all the way to 11.

I swear to God, when I said yesterday that my favorite kind of stuff is dorknology, I had no idea that Mr. M had cooked up this sweet little treat.

They are so handsome looking. Do they fit on top of your desk or on the floor. In the pix they look quite large but I remember you said they were portable.

They’re about eight inches high and fit right on top of my desk. Sweet.

Hulu? See how very undorknologistical I am? I am, however, the proud owner of an Iphone now which I know nothing about using properly.
