12.13.12 The new shoes


12.13.12

     This morning, I decided that it was  a kind of birthday for me. I never care about opening presents early, but I asked K if I could open my present from him ...like, right now... He asked why. I told him it was a kind of re-birth-day for me. I told him I had shaken the package. He asked what it felt like. I said it felt like TWO THINGS bumping together!! He laughed, and said, 'Sure, go ahead!' I said "Is it what I think it is???' He said ' I don't know! Go OPEN it!'
     So I tore it open, and it was everything I wanted it to be. I was so delighted, admiring them. He said "Put them ON!" I was like Cinderella with the perfect glass slippers, fitting like gloves, lovely soft fuzzy brown slip-on gloves.
     He laughed at me. I told him I felt like a 5 year old with new Keds- you remember? You just knew you could run faster and jump higher. He said "On rainy, icy days, you must wear your boots and carry these with you. Really. " I said, 'Oh, okay." Jumping high, running fast, super fly....oh yeah!!!
