My favorite birthday gift ...
January 14, 2010
A little story behind this pretty watch ... it's actually quite old! Bill gave it to me YEARS ago for my birthday. The illustration is a Mary Engelbreit design (one my all-time favorite artists) and the sentiment "Every Mother is a Working Woman" is - not surprisingly - one of my favorite quotes. In fact, I even have a bumper sticker stating the very same! :)
Well, at some point over the years I wore the leather wristband down until it finally split apart. I set the watch aside meaning to - someday - get it repaired. Well, you all know how infrequently "somedays" come around, lol - but I really missed my watch. I missed wearing it for both practical and sentimental reasons ...
So, unbeknownst to me, Bill snuck my watch out of the house last week and had a brand new band attached - and he presented it to me on my birthday! He had it tucked inside a package of "nap socks," a birthday present from my boys. I can't tell you how surprised and thrilled I was to find that watch, gleaming like new!
Just thought I'd share this happy story with you all this morning. It's one of those little things that mean so much. :)
Quick question of the day ~ do you wear a watch? Or do you find them outdated in this day and age of cell phones and blackberries etc.? I've never caught on with cell phones and the like - I do keep one with me when I'm out and about, but I think all of four people have my number lol.
Well, that's all for right now - I'm about halfway through my Blog Meeting Minutes. Hope to get that post up very soon for you all. In the meantime, have a wonderful Thursday. Talk to you all again soon. :)
