Happy Mother's Day

I-Needa was busy making me this lovely Mother's Day card. It arrived on Friday. I was very bad and just couldn't wait to open it. So........ I opened it. I knew it would be something really pretty that she had made, and I just figured I'd spread the special day out to include Friday.

Confession is something I-Needa and I do. Being almost like two peas in a pod, we understand the inner workings of each other's minds and quickly find ways to validate each other's doings.

I called her to visit a bit and confess what I'd done. She sounded a bit tired from her teaching day, and I almost backed out of my confession. However, I told her that I'd gotten the card. Then my tongue just kept going and there you have it..... I ended up confessing that I'd opened the card. I added that it is really a gorgeous card, and I LOVE it!!!

Then I-Needa did it. She said, 'You didn't look inside did you?' I hadn't expected her to ask that question and it caught me rather off guard. 'Well, sure I opened it', I said.

I knew what she was thinking and where she was going with this line of questioning. She was thinking I'd spoiled my day. I rushed to reassure her that I loved what she had said. Unfortunately, that brought up another confession that I was going to have to make.

Inside the beautiful card, along with a sweet sentiment, she had mentioned that I would be needing to go to one of my favorite stores to get my gift. What fun! A gift for ME.

It happened that I was out and about on Friday and driving right past the store that had my gift. I felt the urge to go in and browse. After all, it wouldn't hurt to just look. Of course, I got into a conversation with the owner and mentioned that I'd gotten a Mother's Day card from I-Needa, and she had mentioned that I had a gift.

I found that I got to select my gift. That was going to be a great excuse to poke around and look things over. I tried on jewelry, sniffed candle fragrances, and had a really good time. I'd actually wanted a new bracelet, and I found exactly what I wanted. So on Friday, two whole days before Mother's Day, I had to call and confess my eagerness to I-Needa.

I brought home my new bracelet and put it in the jewelry box. I will be surprised as I take it out of the box to wear on Mother's Day. I'll say, 'Wow!, I-Needa, You shouldn't have... but I love it!! This is even better than burnt toast served in bed.'
