for the last month, he's been bugging me about whether I prefer Bose headphone model 2 or 3.
"Um, I guess I don't know. I'd have to try both of them out"
And we'd have a discussion about the relative merits of both. I guess I don't really care, because I had no plans to get new headphones. I figured he was asking me because maybe someone wanted to get me a fancy christmas present.
2 nights ago, long argument. it was unpleasant. very unpleasant. then yesterday we made up. He was SO sweet. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but he was very nice.
Today he dropped me off at work, and instead of making me walk up the drive and through the muddy damp lawn, he drove me to the door. He said he didn't want his "precious vegetable to get too much water". so sweet. :)
I get to work today... and in my backpack is a brand new set of Bose headphones.
too bad I'm so sleepy that I can't even enjoy it.
I can't wait until I wake up. then I will have a bit more pep. I'm thinking full-caff is indicated.
((((husband)))))
-precious vegetable, Li

he reassured me 4 times this afternoon that he didn't just get it for me because of the argument. I know, too. He's been asking me for a LONG time.
He said he just wanted to do something nice for me, because he thinks I work hard, and I travel a lot, and deserve it.
We had a really nice lunch at a restaurant. And we held hands when we walked back to the car.
He asked me if I was a lot happier when I found the headphones in my bag. I said- I was already happy when you dropped me off at the door and called me your "precious vegetable". (don't worry- not like a brain-dead vegetable. my nickname means Baby-melon in his language)
babymelon/gourd/cucumber/pumpkin, whatever that vegetable is called?
just holding hands is good enough for me. I dont need a fancy gift to feel connected. It's been 10 days together, and a month separation before that since I felt it. finally. last night when he smoothed my hair and kissed my forehead did I feel like my barrier to feeling connected had been broken down. (((((emotional connection)))))
I'm gonna go snuggle now.

At least I get to see him next week for T-giving vacation.
