Now that Carolyn’s room is almost done, I’ve been shopping for accessories. She needs a bookcase, and a place to put her toys, and right now this is the most likely candidate. (Yes, it’s bit more than I’d normally spend, but it’s perfect in every way. And it takes the place of both a toy box and a bookcase, which together would add up to close to that anyhow. Like how I justify these things?)
I’m also looking for something to play music on in her room – a small boombox that plays CDs, or even better mp3 CDs. Why is it, though, that every other appliance in the world – blenders, toasters, cameras, phones, etc. – come in pretty colors like pink, but CD players just come in basic black? I don’t want to put an ugly black stereo in my little girl’s pastel room. Even white would be better, but I can’t find anything that’s white, either. I did find a Disney Princess themed CD player, but it’s twice as much as a regular black one and it has very mixed reviews on amazon. (It’s a little worrisome when more than one reviewer mentions the CD player part of the unit not working after a few months.)
It’s not as though this is a life-or-death decision here. Sometimes I wonder why I’m bothering – especially since it’s not like Carolyn knows or cares what her CD player should look like. Ah, well. It’s the curse of being a detail-oriented person, I guess.
The furniture is cute! And, I can understand your want of that perfect CD player, particularly in white. One piece of advice: Forgo logic and choose the one that makes you happiest.
From where I stand now, having made too many decision against my whimsy [because I also have a thing for details] where Spritle was involved, I still have regrets, and too many of them for things that didn’t deserve such prudency.
There’s two schools of thought and considering everything, there’s going to be lots of other things that you’ll have to be very logical and practical about, particularly when choices are limited. Buying that CD player isn’t one of them!
I hope I’m getting the idea I mean to express across! Sometimes, I have a hard time articulating my thoughts!

Hi.. we found a clock/cd player/radio (white) at Wal-mart. It was a Sony Brand.
