I looooove anticipation. I love it almost as much as the main event. Actually, sometimes I love it even more than the main event. That’s partly why I was so excited to come home yesterday and see these presents sitting on the hearth.
My birthday is about 2 weeks away, and these boxes are staring at me, and I kinda like it. The gold box is heavy, and I know it is something that plugs in. I know this because my husband loves things that plug in. He gets cool plugger-inner things for me, then teaches me how to use them. It’s a fantastic system, and it gives me an air of being tech-savvy. Then people are like, “Oooh- can you fix my whatchamacallit?!” And I’m all, “No.”
That’s because it’s all a lie. I just masquerade as someone who knows how to use that fancy universal remote. I am not kidding when I say I take notes and email them to myself. Then when I forget how to use my gadget I don’t have to fess up, I just look it up and go quietly along. I’m pretty sure that the purple one is not electronic, but you never can tell. It could be an accessory, a book, a cd, a dvd, it could be, it could be… a pony! But for now, it’s the anticipation of something fantastic, and that is a bonus gift in itself.
