My roomie snagged me for lunch today, stealing me from my first two threads in forever and an e-mail I've taken forever to start. We went off to the mall where I picked up a glass snake necklace and earrings set (for my Fire Year starting next month) that were on clearance, and he bought me flowering tea at Teavana.
We stopped by Target before hitting the lunch place, to get a movie he wanted and then he walked further down. And then he was picking out a Kindle for himself, which was a great surprise to me. I was telling him about how I'd changed my mind to getting the 3G like my mother, since testing out her internet.
So he picked the same kind. We talked about which color to get, since I'd never even known you could get the new one in both grey and white. Teasingly telling him I'd hated him for buying his right this moment, because I'd decided to wait to get/replace my broken one until my tax check came in.
And he listened to me ramble on, and ask him if he wanted the zip of books I'd just made for my mom, since she just got her new Kindle about a week or two ago, while he purchased it. And then he turned and handed me the white plastic bag and said "Happy three weeks early birthday."
And.....I just stared at him. And tried not to burst into tears for the next ten minutes.
Like I said coherence is for losers. I'm just going to be a little shock-in-awe still.
will & grace,
love,
