Apr. 26th, 2005 03:18 pmOur tenth anniversary is coming up and I'm wracking my brain trying to think of an appropriate gift for John (that I can afford). I was hoping to make reservations at the inn in Seal Beach where we spent our wedding night, but I think that may be beyond my means, at least for this month. I was going to replace the Maori Twist pendant I got him last year, that the kids broke, but I want to get him something else too. Think, think, think...
Meanwhile, Avalon is on my list. She grabbed my little flash drive, was swinging it around by the neck cord, and bopped me on the head with it before I could grab it away from her. The cap that covers the connector went flying to gods-know-where. Then she yanked on the cord, which is only attached by a lark's head knot to a tiny brittle plastic bar; it immediately snapped off. John took it out the garage, drilled a tiny hole and attached a jewelry fastener to it, so at least I can put the cord back on. So I reprimand her, and she bursts into tears and screams "I hate you! NEVER...DO...THAT...AGAIN!" before stomping off into her room. My. She and Gareth seem to have a flair for the dramatic. Not sure where that came from.
But then five minutes later, she's forgotten all about it, making with the grins like I posted a few days ago, all the while looking for something else to get into.
