Yes.

Conversation between Rick and I:

K: ..AND...they have this VIP package for American Express cardholders where you get CLOSE SEATS and you get to MEET THEM and ....my friend has AMEX, so I'm going to ask him to buy our TICKETS!!!!

R: What do you mean by "our" tickets? Who is "our"?

K: I mean me and Jennifer (my niece).

R: Oh, ok, because I was figna say, I'm not going. I'll babysit the hamster.

K: Fine, but I'm going.

R: I'm sure you are.

I don't care how much it costs, how much work I have to miss, where I have to fly, or who I have to beat up to get there. I didn't get to go when I was thirteen and I sure as poop am not going to miss them this time around.

I LOVE THEM.

Anyhoo, today was a very busy day, and the weather was really crappy, but I have been totally happy and at peace. I got a lot accomplished at work, I got to give Rick his birthday presents (early!!!). I loved seeing his reaction. Besides the new plane, I also got him this Real Flight Simulator for RC flying, and as I was setting it up, he came over and made my day with the following:

R: We have a SIMULATOR!!! (kisses me on the forehead).

:)

I was also happy because I wore one of my favorite necklaces today:

(The French "no" pendant)....I will not even go into how long it took me to get the focus right with my new impossible camera. I also got a cute recycled pouch at Target today:

Made out of recycled plastic bottles!!

It's getting late - Hasta luego!!
