My birthday was July 11th and thankfully I was on vacation. My husband asked me what I wanted..I gave my usual response..nothing at all. I need nothing and cannot think of anything I specifically wanted.
We slept late..went to eat at the Cracker Barrel for breakfast and returned home. I had lunch with my bestest friend and went to the tanning bed. Usual old day for me..but pleasant nonetheless. While at lunch the power went out at the steak house we were dining at. We sat in the dark chatting...it was kind of cool actually. We had our food already so it was no big deal to us.
When I arrived at the tanning bed ..the lady said.."Oh it is your birthday..how about a free upgrade"? Me.. I was like "Sure and thank you so much"! So I slather on my tanning lotion and hop into this HUGE bed...feeling all special and all. Was laying there maybe 5 minutes when click..the power goes out. Ha! It was funny..I am not claustrophobic..thank goodness and told the staff I would take a nap. Well it soon got cool in there so I slipped out the side of the bed and got dressed. Probably could not have escaped the regular tanning bed..go me..getting the upgrade and all. Since I had lots of free time, I chatted with the other marooned tanners till the power came back on and finished my tanning session. The tanning bed feels so good on my bones..as I have rheumatoid arthritis..the heat just soothes me.
I headed home ..and when I entered the house..I caught a whiff of my favorite cake..spice cake..yum. My sweet daughter had made me a cake(as my mother would have done, were she still with us). She then handed me a card..that sang the song..If I had a Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies..hmm. I love that song. Inside the card was a diamond tennis bracelet from my husband..This was the best gift due to the fact that my old one broke just the week before. My husband has a knack for getting me the right gifts at the right time...I suppose this means he is tuned in..and listening when I talk.
Later that night..I received a text from him that said Happy Birthday..I Love You..and this folks was the Sweetest Gift Ever!!!
Why?? you might ask..Well my husband of 27 years has refused..and did not put it in light terms either..to learn to text. Though it is my chosen communication technique for our children and theirs for me..and I sometimes text him at work with important updated information on some crisis or another..he has flat refused to learn..even to reply with a...k. In my frustration some time ago I told him "NO MORE TEXTS" from me..ever.
Seems while I was out having lunch and tanning ...he had a tutorial from my daughter on how to text. She said it was difficult for him to learn..his phone is the newer razor and it is complicated. But folks..he stuck it out..for me. :) The sweetest things in life are free..don't take much..just a little time and effort.
Of all the things he has done for me over the years..the swing he put up for me to swing in daily and learning to text are the dearest.
Update...this man is letting his fingers fly..last night he sat outside and sext me..yep. Huge turn on..I am in the house..receiving multiple texts from him and looking for him..finally I texted him and said..where are u? ...and the rest ..well that's history..I assure you..he is glad he learned how to text...
peace :) shemelts |
