I'm jealous, but in a good way!
Veronica's birthday was tuesday. She celebrated it with her dad's family, then, and we're celebrating it, tomorrow evening. It's going to be very difficult. I'm sure it will be, for years, but right now, especially, she needs something that just takes her breath away, and makes her the ultimate in happy (I had a few of those kinds of gifts, every once in awhile, too, I think it's normal).
I already had the outfit that she wanted, but I needed something else. I wasn't thinking big, especially not this big, before my dad's death, but when I started thinking about it again, at the beginning of the week, I pretty much knew what the other gift was going to be. It just had to be.
A 2 gig Ipod Nano
She had an ipod on her Christmas list, and it is again, on her birthday list, which is very small (one of the other things she asked for was "world peace" if that gives you an idea of what kind of sweetie she is). This is the big thing she really wants - and she is seriously into music, so.......I splurged. =)
I just got the battery all charged up, and downloaded 10 songs on it, for her, so there's something there, when she opens it. I'm listening to it right now, and oh.my.god. the sound on this thing is just AMAZING! I want one! I'm jealous, but hey, she'll have the distinct honor of being the only one in our family with one, probably for quite awhile.
I can't wait to give it to her, tomorrow!
