Micah's bow for Chelsea (the cello) went bald and needed to be rehaired a week ago. Today we went to pick the bow up and then I convinced/cajoled/begged Micah to let us go into Kirland to see the Christmas Shop there and get some Chai. (He's a homebody and just wanted to go home!) Anyway, I gave my best pouty face (which always wears him down nicely) and we were off. But, I misjudged how close I could park and we ended up having to walk 1/4 mile in the rain. Micah was rather cold, wet, and cranky by now because he only was wearing a hoodie for protection and it was soaking through.
We finally reached the Coffee Place and the Chai there was deliciously spicy. We dried out a little and became a little more pleasant to each other. :P Then we went over to the Christmas store and started looking around. Then all of a sudden, I found a darling ornament that we just had to get my parents. It was so precious and perfect. Micah grabbed it and said "We're getting this". Then a few seconds later he found a stuffed hamster with a Christmas hat that looked uncannily like my sister's hamster that Micah doted upon. He had to get that too. ;)
I'll tell you what the other item is after Christmas that we got my parents because they read this blog. ;)
Needless to say, Micah was in a much better frame of mind since going to Kirkland had a happy ending after all. We headed home and proceeded to be lazy the rest of the evening.
This morning, Micah had to be at work at 5am (ick!) and I was able to sleep in. Kitty came and joined me under the covers. I found that she loves to have the sides of her face stroked alllll the way over her whiskers to behind her ears. She went comatose with pleasure and couldn't stop purring. It was so cute to see.
The rest of my morning has been spent . . . well doing nothing really. So, now I'd better actually take a shower and get on that.
15 days till Christmas everyone! So excited! Micah finds out if he gets the days off he requested, so fingers crossed.
