Vantage point/Juan

So I get up in the morning on 10/22/08 debating in my head what I will do for my wife, or really what will I get her for our 12^th anniversary. I had a couple of spies know as Agent Van pelt, & Agent DigiSal trying to figure out what I can get the LAW as I call her. Had been planning for about a month in advance, at one time I was considering to get her a treadmill so she can walk at home, but I can already hear her, “You know what I can do with that money”. Well I was going back & forth on a lot of things the IPhone for example, but she ended getting that one on her own, so I was back to square one. Then Agent Van Pelt suggested a purse that DigiSal had for sale, don’t ask me where he got it from he said he used it once only, so you know, don’t ask don’t tell, hehe. So DigiSal & I are emailing back & forth ok maybe once or twice. Well the day had come the day before our anniversary & yes I had nothing not even a card, so I was terrified I know my wife don’t care if I get her anything, but just to make her feel special I still have to get her something, I mean come on look at me, & look at her she got robbed in this transaction. Well I call her up from work to tell her lets have lunch at the Mall, so she agrees, of course she is bringing little David he is already out of school. As we eat some Chinese food, I tell her I confess all the planning for nothing I told her I would get her a perfume, so while we are eating & talking she tells me she saw Pastor Mark & Sis Kim as they were leaving the mall, they said hi to each other then went on their separate ways, Sis Kim tells her, “I just saw Lucy here she was leaving when we got here. So we finish lunch go to get the perfume, & like always my wife is Nah we can go look for it cheaper somewhere else, but I would have none of that, so I bought it & got my self some cologne also. I told her we were even we got each other something and there we were done. I gave her a kiss, & came back to work. Then I still felt I needed to get her something else, BECAUSE you know how women are, & ask , “what did he get you? I didn’t want her to say some perfume. So after work I went to the mall got her an anklet & a card, couldn’t wait to give it to her, I always tend to ruin the surprise, & cant wait to give it to her , but this time I waited. I kept it in the truck hoping they wouldn’t break into my truck & steal it since I have the DVD player in there & all my tools. I also placed a pen on the porch to write in the card when I had a chance to get away. So we are off to church, service was great stepping all over the toes of everyone, with the 7 deadly sins. After church we are outside talking like usual, talking with the women about perfumes then I see J, in the distance looking puzzled so I walk over there to see what’s up, but nothing is going on as I ask, he is watching the kids throw the football around when all of a sudden we here a yell screaming, “it’s a BUG” well it was Adri she was caring Adrian, & I guess a bug flew on her or something, then J decides to leave so, I said, “ok man see you later”. I think he was going to see Robs little girl. I see Adri leave a little bit after that. So I go into the car waiting on the Law to get in because we decide not to go out to eat since we were going to walk later that night. As I am sitting in the car, because women have twice even three times more words than men, we just grunt after we are out of words, but no matter I am waiting in the car patiently mind you, just turned the car on not honking or anything. David decides to come into the car with me, then I see Lucy walking over to her car to get some brownies, I see the women eating, they are giving me the signal if I want some , I say no, but Lucy still comes over to offer me some for the kids so I take one, & give it to David. We leave church get home change into our work out cloth, I try to sneak out side to write something on the card, but I hear the Law coming so ABORT ABORT mission, act cool, he he. We leave go walking come back, & remember I have a pen thrown on the floor to write in the card with, she decides to clean up the porch because when they come, & drop off Aiden the baby she baby-sits she doesn’t want them to see a mess. So I am thinking my pen where is it, we come inside she is taking a shower, so I sneak out, & take the card and fill it out with some loving words, all moochy words he he. Then I can think of how to give her the present I am thinking should I leave it on the dresser when I leave in the morning to work nah, she gets up to get the boys off to school. So I kiss her tell her bye, I Love you, God Bless you, pray for me today. Then while she is in the room getting the boys up I sneak the card out from under place mats on the dining room table, & I decide to put it in her driver side seat the card first then the gift, that way when she goes to drop the boys she can be surprised, and she was yay. So she emails me to tell me I really got her, I surprised her she wasn’t expecting it. & that was my point of view till that time of day.

Plain and simple

As my 5 yr old David was telling my wife, for some strange reason he just comes up to tells her “we like McCain because he believes God, And Rock Obama doesn’t”. If only it were that simple for us adults we have to make every situation harder than it really is. I don’t know where David gets off in talking about politics, but then he said his older bother Mike told him. Because they talk all night long instead of going to bed, hehe. Well like Forest Gump said, “That’s all I got to say, about that”.
