Can You Put a Yellow Bow On It?

This week has been so busy in every aspect of my life...work, church, etc. It seems like I have something to do every night this week and work has just been a constant stream off nonstop work, which is great. Of course in the evenings, the busy nights are just places that I don't have to go to but I've been doing some fun things. I went to a hockey game Monday (remember Dierks Bentley, *swoon*) but tonight I'm especially excited. I'm going to see Avatar again.

I know that I have seen Avatar already with my sweetheart but we didn't see it in 3D. But tonight, I'm going to see it in 3D at the IMax. I'm so stinking excited about this. I bought my ticket off Fandango yesterday just to be sure I had a ticket. I've read online that people have gotten sick from watching it in 3D so I may have to take some Dramamine before I go. I don't want to get one of my dizzy spells which I'm prone to get from time to time.

I'm heading to Alabama this weekend to see my sweetheart and my family. I was talking to my almost four year old niece yesterday on the phone. I told her I was coming to see her this Friday and she was so excited. My heart just melted right there. Of course, the first thing she asked me was if I was bringing her a prize. Let me put a little side note in here. Ever since that child was born I, along with my mother, have made the mistake of bringing her and my nephew something every time we go down to visit them and we always have a little something for them when they visit Nashville. It's become an expensive little habit and one that she has realized. She knows that I always have something for her every time I see her. At Christmas my brother and his family spent Christmas in Nashville and the day after Christmas we headed over to my house because my sister-in-law had not seen my house since I had moved in. Now remember that this was the day after Christmas and my niece had just opened like ten gifts and had a houseful of new toys. As soon as my niece walked in the door she asked me in her sweet angelic little voice, "Janice? Do you have a prize for me?" I told her, "No, baby, I gave you all my prizes at Mimi's and Papaw's." Then her little shoulders slumped in disappointment. My heart broke because she was so sad. How dare I not think to have a prize waiting for her and her brother when they came to visit my house. I guarantee you that I will not be making that mistake again. I've spoiled that child so badly...but I love her.

But I'm her Aunt....her favorite Aunt...and of course I'm bringing her a little something. It is just a few heart shaped bracelets I found for a couple of dollars. She's such a girlie girl. But back to the story. I told her that yes, I had a prize for her and she asked me if I can put a bow on it. Since this beautiful angel has me wrapped around her little finger I said that I would put a bow on it. Then she asked me if I could put a yellow bow on it. I didn't question her so I told her I would put a yellow bow on it. I am wondering why yellow and I should have asked her about it because purple is her favorite color...then pink...then blue...then green. She schooled me on her favorite colors once before. It's very detailed. She cracks me up. She is the funniest little girl I have ever met and has my whole heart. So yes, I'll be putting a yellow bow on it.
