I woke up tired. But I didn't want to let the impskies win. I got up and took my shower and then I was awake. There were lots of birds at the feeders. It's cold and snowy. So the birds are hungry. We didn't see greyling. I just don't know. Does she have her own family? I go back and forth.
Today is a special day for Luke and me. We go on our conversation ride. I think that love is youth. Feelings of love wake up the cells in the body and help to keep them younger and healthier. Love is a tonic. Only love is such a huge word. Anyway, with a husband and wife they have to use all that's best in them to understand and to work together with the partner in life that God has given them.
We have some huge changes coming up. Luke's sabatical. For the first time since I've known him over 50 years ago, Luke will not be ultra busy every moment. He has to find a way to create meaning for himself. I'm his partner in life and I need to support him. We talk about the upcoming time. We also talk about our change of Churches. We've been with St Luke's for a long time and now we're moving on--and we don't know where. It feels freeing but also scary for both of us.
After our conversation, we go to the mall to pick up Luke's Christmas gift. He's getting a MAC friendly voice recorder to keep a record of his thoughts on "The Book." Luke is writing his first book on music. It's going to be a huge help to his students and I suspect music students in the future that he doesn't even know. At first the crew at The Mac Store didn't think they had anything for us. I called The Cat and he made some suggestions. While he was talking to the woman who was helping us, she got a look. She said that The Cat had a car accident and had to hang up. I thought he was o.k. I just did. So we went across the way and picked up some small gifts from a specialty store. Then I saw it. The perfect gift for MKate. I think of her as my twin sister and I wanted to get her something very cool this year. Luke and I went into the store and bingo . . . she's going to LOVE it. And she has no idea.
After a while, The Cat called us to say that it wasn't even a fender bender. Everyone was fine, including the cars.
Our next stop was Steinmart. I was excited to see their selection of Hello Kitty watches. Kimora Lee Simmons designed a luxe line of Hello Kitty jewelry. Her jewelry started at $4 or 5, 000. These watches were on sale for $24. 99. And yes, I was disappointed. Very. The watch I liked had a bad watch band and the other (only two choices) was too clunky.
I was tired but we went to Verizon. I thought I might get a Droid. As soon as we went into the store, we saw George. George is a friend that we have come to trust. He said that the Droid wasn't for me. So . . . why change. I still like my old phone. I just don't want to buy something I don't need because Luke wants me to have a Christmas present.
We went home. Luke felt sad and then I remembered. I need a new purse. So we're going to Penny's and see what they have on sale. And maybe we'll even look somewhere cool. I'd like to have a cool purse.
