he did so good!
I got to spend my Saturday night in one of my favorite ways: Grocery shopping with Doc. It's a long-standing tradition with us that has resulted in some of my bestest memories (and most embarrassing... hello, Turkish boy incident!) and actually is one of my favorite ways to spend time with someone. High-jinx and antics ensue, including, but not limited to: juggling, throwing things, and (accidentally) running people over with our giant, non-steerable, racecar-shaped shopping cart. The end of the night I got my birthday present from Doc, regardless of the fact that my birthday was 5 months ago and in a different country. No matter to him. Time-wise aside, he got me a CD from my favortist band: BareNaked Ladies. Unfortunately, over the course of various conversations, he figured out that the CD he bought was one I already owned, so he took it back and got another one. The second time around, it turns out that I had the CD that he got to replace the first one. So by that point, I told him exactly which CD I was looking for (the new one), but made the mistake of telling him I was also looking for the new Sheryl Crow CD. The response was "great! You won't know which one you'll get..." A couple of weeks later (i.e. Saturday) finds me standing with Doc, with his version of 'wrapping', i.e. "pick a hand..." I picked and he pulled out the Sheryl Crow CD... Score! And as I was giving him a hug of thanks, out he pulls the BNL CD with a "I figured you had to wait so long..." YAY! It was such an awesome surprise, I'm so proud of him!
