Let's play Blue's Clues

I’ve come up with some ideas for what my super secret surprise for xmas is. I only have a few clues. Mike let it slip that his gift is going to make me cry, and that he hopes it fits. He also had to ask my mom a few questions regarding the super secret surprise, and at first only he and Britt (his sister) knew what it was. Now his mom knows, too; she could barely contain herself when he called and told me he got my gift. I also know that the store he got it at had a huge sale — everything was discounted by 50% or more.

I know he wouldn’t have to ask my mom about my clothing or shoe sizes and it’s definitely not lingerie, because that would just be inappropriate to ask my mom about. It’s not a day at the spa, because I wouldn’t have to wear a massage and facial mask. :D It’s not a coat, because I already have millions of coats and jackets. Besides, I’ve already crossed clothing off the list of possible gifts.

Now, I’m trying to stay away from the obvious here, because he said he wasn’t proposing and I don’t want to jump to conclusions anyway. I asked him not to propose because the surprise would be ruined, and he simply replied that he wasn’t and that it would be a surprise no matter when he did it. I pointed out that we should move in together first and he agreed. I’m really not sure what it could be aside from an engagement ring, but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

It might be a promise ring, but I doubt it because a) we both agreed that we don’t believe in them and b) he’s a straightforward person; he would just cut right to the chase. It could be a charm bracelet or a necklace of some sort. Still, I don’t think either of those would be hard to size for me. I’m not a charm bracelet kind of girl, anyway, and I would hope he knows me better than that. The only jewelry I wear is a thumb ring and gauges in my ears. Oh-so-girly. :P

I guess I will just have to wait and see. At least I’m not the only one out of the loop. Lauren (my sister) doesn’t know what it is, either.

I wish I could spill what I got him, but there’s always the chance that he might read this so I have to keep my mouth shut. I think he’ll like it. Maybe I’ll make a password-protected post and post some photos. :D

These three words are not enough

I love how I turned the laptop on with all intentions to write… and I’m blogging. :D

So, the big thing that Mike had to talk to me about — you know, the thing I was getting all anxious about? Heh. He wanted to see if he could pay me back half of what he owes me from last week. I had to giggle at him, because he was being so serious about it. I also had to laugh at myself, for being such a dork and thinking it was something scary.

Speaking of Mike, things are going so well with him. I feel like a princess in a fairytale. When I first met him and we first started hanging out — or dating, whatever you want to call it — I never pictured we would be here, talking about apartments and our future. I never thought I could have something like this. I’ve been giddy for the last few days. I’m so, so happy.

I’m also going crazy trying to figure out what my surprise xmas present is. He gave me only a few clues: his sister is going to help him out with it and he had to ask my mom a couple of questions. Hmn. It all seems so obvious, so that’s probably not what it is. Still, my parents do like him; I asked them what they would think if we ever got married (we’ve been discussing the possibility of it, and he wanted to know what I would say if he asked). I guess I’ll have to wait and see. I do know what I’m going to get him, though. I’m really excited about it, but it still doesn’t seem like enough. I have such a hard time shopping for people, because nothing ever seems good enough to say how much I care about them. There is no gift on this planet that could tell my parents how grateful I am to have them, nor is there any gift perfect enough for the love of my life.

Sigh. This is why I hate xmas shopping.
