A few days early. Jessica was sick yesterday so I gave her a special valentines day present, which by the above image was obviously an iPod Shuffle. She loves it. I love that she loves it. She said as she opened it, “This is a present from you to me to you, isn’t it?” I strongly told her, “No, this is for you because you’ve been wanting something like this for a while.” She’s learned how iTunes and the shuffle work together and used it this morning while cleaning the apartment. She was singing away (quietly) while listening to Five Iron Frenzy and whatever else she had on there.
It’s cool enough that she even seemed to indicate she was looking forward to later in the year when we’ll hopefully replace the desktop in the kitchen with an Mac Mini. I love my wife very much – apples or not.
It doesn’t quite harken back to the Garden of Eden, but the apple, my beautiful wife and a snake named Windows XP bring things around 🙂
How exciting… While I have been wanting one of these since their release and I’m sure Lyndel would use it heaps, she’d hate me for getting her something so expensive. I’ve got her a pair of ($160) sunglasses for her birthday in May and she wasn’t impressed. She keeps complaining that I keep spending too much money on her! (Though she has started dropping hints that she wants a HOUSE!)
I have some extra money from a client (finally) paying me, otherwise it’d be the typical card and chocolate. Houses are cheap compared to computers, right? 😉
