Saturday was our one-year anniversary of meeting which led to our relationship. Getting Jennifer a gift is tricky! She is somewhat like me. She has everything she could possibly want but I think I’m easier because anything Star Wars, Star Trek or D&D, you got me. Well I lucked out while walking around Barton Creek Mall on my quest to see how open things were…and to see if the LEGO Store had the new Looney Tunes minifigures in preparation for the upcoming, awful Space Jam 2 flick.
Initially I thought Build-A-Bear would have something charming. A bear I could put in a costume related to Jennifer’s interests or profession. Then I stumbled upon this deal with the dragons from How to Train Your Dragon. They were perfect! Those films are a fave with my girlfriend! I have also seen the commercials for this little girl trap. You can record stuff to put into the stuffed animals.
I remembered the black dragon from the first movie so I had him carry a recording of the pet name I have given Jennifer, mia ragazza, which is Italian for “my girlfriend” but the Italians also use use it as a term of endearment. Why this language? I’ll explain at another time of my choosing.
The duo were left on Jennifer’s bed for her to discover when she returned from Padre yesterday. Meanwhile, I was busy running errands and cleaning up the house.
They were a hit! Woo hoo! I’m off the hook until Xmas 2021!
