Today was my Joe's birthday, he turned 34 (yes, I'm robbing the cradle). Last night after midnight (12:12 to be precise), I wished him happy birthday and gave him my gift. Now first, you have to understand this man - if there is such an understanding, he loves to lounge in his "jammy-pants", and lives a very simple lifestyle. He has no hobbies except sports, and apparently WOW. So what do you get for the man who wants for nothing, or at least very little, and who you still need to get Christmas presents for? MORE "JAMMY-PANTS". I had purchased some for him from Big Dogs that were cozy and baggy - just like my man likes them.
This morning, I made fresh apple turnovers for my birthday boy's breakfast. We didn't get to bed until after 3AM (watching movies from Netflix), but I was up at 6 making pie crust, peeling and chopping apples. Woke him up to fresh, hot turnovers and a cold glass of OJ. We layed around for a bit, the decided to head to work (him, I was off) early so we could stop and feed the birds. Originally, we were going to just sit at the top of the steps at a beach access (there's no traffic on the steps this time of the year), but realized we had forgotten the crackers to feed the birds. So we decided to stop by Sonic, get a couple of drinks and grab some tater tots. There were so many birds there, we decided to just stay there rather than go to the beach and get cold (neither of us are feeling uber-healthy these days). As we were throwing tots out the window, I looked in the rear view to see a gull sitting on the trunk. Then a minute later, there were 2 little brown birds sitting on the hood...it was hilarious! I wish I had brought my camera. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?! We laughed about it the rest of the way to his store.
Tonight, we went to dinner after he got off work. On my way to pick him up from work, I was nearly (and that term in NO WAY is used loosely here folks) in an accident. I was driving thru an intersection, looked to my right and saw a set of headlights only feet from my passenger door. Seriously, I don't know how he didn't T-Bone me, let alone take out the back end of the car!!! After clearing the intersection, I pulled over to the side of the road. I was shaken, to say the least. A police car pulled up behind me only moments after and asked me if I was okay. I told him yes, that I was just shook. He said he could understand that, he was shaken just watching it. I told him that I didn't know how he didn't hit me, he said he didn't know either, that I must have just hit the gas at the right moment in the panic of it. He said it was a good thing I had looked over and saw him coming thru the red light, otherwise, I may not have paniced and hit the gas, and might not be talking to him now. At that, I thanked him for stopping to check on me, assured him I was fine and started the car up. He told me to turn the car off and take a moment. He could tell I was still pretty shaken. I told him I was going to be late picking up my boyfriend from work. He said "he'll be fine, at least you'll get there - just take a moment, breath. He'll just be glad to see you." At that moment, I broke down in tears - REALLY concidering what could have happened. Then he suggested that I take the beach road the rest of the way up (less traffic). I took the beach road as the officer had recommended, called Joe to tell him I was on my way, got to his store, and gave him a BIG HUG and cried. I told him, "I don't know how he didn't hit me, how I'm sitting here now." Joe said, "It's my birthday, nothing bad is allowed to happen to me today, and that would have been the worst thing possible." I love this man. |
