Fresh Flowers

I got home today around 11.30pm. When I walked up to my apartment, there was a little package sitting at my doorstep. Hmm... I know it's my birthday, but I wonder who sent it. It wasn't wrapped, so I knew it wasn't a fedex or UPS deliver. I walked up and looked at the little calling card attached to the package. Turns out that Anat had hand delivered a bouquet of orchids to my apartment while I was out today. There was a little handwritten note.

Well, didn't want to miss your birthday so excuse me for not doing it face to face...
This is one of my favorite flowers, each orchid got his own personal charm, just like people... So a special flower for a special birthday boy :)
Don't forget to treat him right! He suppose to stay around for a month more or less, just like me...
bottom line - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! have fun, enjoy life and receive all your wishes
Sending hugs n kisses, Anat

I am so moved. It's the perfect way to start my birthday.

Memories of my israeli tourist babe

A little sticky note left on my pillow, under a fridge magnet of San Francisco that she had bought for me the day before - "pretty lame, but remember I'm a tourist!".

Making all sorts of random plans in the car as we drive back to my place - "Next time we'll do XYZ" - No more next time. We ran out of time.

One night, she was telling me that she had a bad day. I told her that she'd just had an awesome day, that she had spent the first 10 minutes of her day with me. She was confused. I told her, it's past midnight. It's no longer yesterday. She said, "oh..." Thought about it for a second, smiled, then said "yes, today is a good day".

Lying in bed with her in my arms, her head on my chest.

Stroking her hair, and her pushing her head into my fingers cos she liked her head scratched lightly.

She always forgot her camera. We'd drive past this portion of 280 that overlooked the water, and she'd always make a promise to remember her camera the next time so she could take that photo.

My first words to her - "Hey, you're tall!"

Princess flowers... whatever they're called.

Every time I picked her up, she'd smile as she got into the car. I'd greet her "Hey babe" and she'd say "Hi babe" back to me and give me a kiss.

Trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to make love in my walkin closet.

She liked really hot water when she showered. When we showered together, we'd have to change the water temperature depending on who was under the shower at that moment.

I miss her so much already.

Triptych

I am thinking of getting this for the living room wall. That wall has been blank and empty since the day Dennis and I moved in, about 15 months ago. It's about time I hook it up with something pretty.
    

Easy uploading

If you upload files to Picasaweb, YouTube, Facebook or a few other sites, you owe it to yourself to check out the Fire/Universal Uploader Firefox addon. Instead of uploading one files at a time, this little app allows Firefox to just drag and drop files to upload them. Very sweet little addon!

Surprise!

My israeli babe just left a little surprise on my pillow. She left a note saying...
"pretty lame, but remember I'm a tourist!"
She bought me a fridge magnet. I'm so touched that I'm starting to tear up.
