proof christmas music is good for your health.

so this morning david was in a hurry, i was sort of half out of it and half awake watching him frantically get all his stuff together to leave for work. i saw him grab his phone, walk out the door and lock it. i thought it was strange because he didn't take his printer with him (company policy doesn't allow him to leave the printer in his company car, so he has to bring it up everyday). but then i figured he must have taken it down earlier or something. about five mins later david comes back with a look of aggravation on his face, "i forgot my printer. ugh it's a monday!". he grabs his printer and leaves in a even more frantic state.  a few hours later i called him to make sure he's having a good day and if not, try to cheer him up somehow. as soon as he answered i could tell he was in a happy mood. unstressed. complete opposite of what he was this morning. i ask how he is doing and teased him about him forgetting the printer.. he laughs and explains how it's one of those days. goes on to tell me that he also misread an email he got from his boss about a meeting.. thought it was this morning and was running way late. he showed up to an empty office, the meeting is tomorrow, not today.. poor guy lol.. considering all of that i was surprised by how happy he was.. i was about to ask him why he was so happy when he said, "hey guess what. they started playing christmas music on the radio today! isn't that awesome?! i have been listening to it all day." yup, christmas music is good for your health.

we must be santa's favorites since he came for an early visit! :oP we got a bose cd/radio player. david and i both looked at each other in the mall thinking, "what the hell did we just do?!". they aren't exactly cheap and we aren't exactly rich. both of us suffered from buyers remorse almost instantly. we got home, hooked it up and all that, "o.m.g. what did we just do!?" feelings flew right out the window.. it's awesome! the quality of sound is by far the best! it's like butter! we tried listening to music on our laptop and cheap radio/cd player and it was driving me batty with the sound quality. david insists i play ashton music and i refused listening to music from the computer or cheap radio as it gives me major migraines! so he was determined to change that.  

i should also state, david is a mean meaaannn husband (hahaha). he threw camera gear in my face when we purchased the bose. such a low blow. he should feel ashamed! ::shakes head::. his exact words were, "just imagine how much stuff you could get for your camera if we didn't get this radio". implying that if we decided not to get the bose i could get more camera gear that second. i quickly informed him that camera gear and a radio (he wants btw) are not even in the same playing field.. lol.. i see my camera as a non-human child and one of the big things that has changed who i have become.  i think he was trying to find  a sneaky way out of me begging for camera gear in the next few months. HA. fat chance. so i told him, "it won't work. if we have any left over money :::crossing fingers and flashes a "i love you" smile::: i am 100% positive it will be to buy a few things for the camera. i need it so i can take better pictures of ashton" (that's right, i threw our only and unborn child at him. hahaha). kidding aside, i do need a few camera items that will improve my photography. i know i will have to wait a while for most of it. as it isn't exactly cheap and ashton is our priority now and forever. but i would love to be able to get a few things that i desperately want so i can take my photography skills to the next level! we will see.. i won't eat into our savings or ashton's money for camera gear.

speaking of photography. david made me feel sooooo good about myself a few days ago. he was on the phone with his mother and i was in the other room reorganizing ashton's things (again). i overheard him bragging/showing off my recent photography work to his mother. kept repeating, "doesn't it look professional? she did such a great job!" "that's what i told her. she needs to submit some of her photos for contests.. i know she could win something". sadly, i am not that confident in my photography as he is. i am still an amature and still have so much to learn. but hearing him talk so highly of me to someone else, praising me, felt good and made me proud of myself. ashton will be here in six weeks and i can NOT wait to start documenting his life! i have so many idea's! EEECK the entire thought gets me all giddy!
