A gift that moves me

a little surpriseMy Lobster got home last night -keys, cellphone and snail-mail in hand as usual- puckers one on my lips and says, "Hey, got you a little surprise" (at home, we call presents 'surprises').

My first thought was 'that's so nice and so sweet and and a thrill because it's unexpected', considering that I didn't ask for anything and that there isn't really any special occasion, and besides, our anniversary isnt' until April anyway.

Sure, there's lots of things a girl could by, but my wishlist isn't very long -well, except when it comes to books or art supplies. All I wanted was several skeins of yarn and needles to knit myself a scarf and a throw, and some watercolor pencils, and he'd already gotten them for me the night before! So I is a very happy girl.

And so, he hands me this pretty little bag, with my little gift inside. He walks away, starts up the stairs, and turns around, just in time to see my expression.


You want to know what I found in my little bag?

A key.

WOW! That's a beauty. One of these days I hope we can get a nice street cruiser for my husband and I to enjoy--maybe later when the kids are older and we can leave them alone. :)

That's what I gave Rich for Christmas! I also gave him a pre-paid tuition for the motorcycle safety class at the local community college...This is a downright spiffy gift. Very very nice. Does he have a bike so you can go together? We need to hear more.
