I totally don't deserve him....
My husband, that is. Or the gift he got me this year.
Before I tell you what he got me, I'll explain why I'm so undeserving. Last Christmas, I asked for an iPod. Very specifically, not just any mp3 player, but an iPod. At least a Shuffle, but preferably a Mini or better. When I unwrapped a Sansa, I am not proud at all to admit that I had a very bad attitude about it, and made sure he knew about it. I acted like a spoiled child, actually.
This year he was asking me which kind of iPod I would want if I did get one now. I let him know that I did not expect nor deserve one this year, but if he really wanted to know, I eventually hoped for one that would hold 1000 songs (not that I have 1000 songs to put on it, but I knew I would be adding to it). But I really did not think I was getting an iPod at all this year. I mean, we just gave ourselves a huge new mortgage and are expecting a new baby. And last year, *I* was the baby.
You can probably guess how this ends...or at least think you do.
Well. He did not get me a Shuffle. Nor did he get me a Mini, since they are not even making those anymore. He also did not get me a Nano.
No, what he actually bought me was a 30 GB video iPod. For real. So not only can I store up to 7500 songs, I can also go to iTunes and download the last two seasons of Lost and watch them on my gadget.
Last year I acted spoiled. This year, I *am* spoiled :) (But I hope I will remember in the future not to act it.)

Congratulations :) This is a very sweet (and familiar) story. That's the best of love, isn't it? Loving above and beyond when we've behaved badly. I'm sure the way you are with Leo (almost) the rest of (almost) all the days more than makes up for your temporary insanity (been there), and makes you very deserving of your new toy, after all :)
WOW!
Merry Christmas!
OK baby.....the holiday is past.....any hints as to when you'll make your appearance?!

I hope the first song that you saved on it was one that makes you think of him.
