11/28/2005: "It's the Thought that Counts"
The Girl has started to think about Christmas gifts. I was watching the DMB concert at Red Rocks the other night. Suddenly The Girl announced, "I know what I want to get you for Christmas. Can I go on your computer and do a search." My little chick-let hasn't mastered subtle yet and I'm thinking she wants to get me a DMB cd.
The next morning she's cresfallen when she' tells me that her dad won't let her get me what she wanted to. Turns out my girl wasn't searching for cd's after all. She'd tracked down the concert venue and wanted to buy me a ticket to the next DMB concert...in Philadelphia. LOL! She wanted to fly me to Phillie to catch Dave in concert. Uh, I also caught a glimpse of the price range she was looking at on the tickets. She was more than willing to shell out her dad's dollars to have me front and center.
I had to use a lot of willpower not to laugh when she told me her dad had nixed the idea. I just gave her a hug and thanked her for the thought. Somehow, I think she's not going to be thrilled to buy me the all-weather mats for my car I requested for a Christmas gift.

She's a sweetie...especially when she's spending my money or her dad's.

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.” -Cindy Chupack, TV writer
