Yes, again, another complaint... I know, it's all I do is complain in notes. Because when I'm happy, words don't flow as well, and I'm just content on being happy. But when I'm upset about something, for some reason, it's easier to write. Which, right now is a good things since I have a 1 page paper that I have to write tonight that I am fretting too much about.
I was going to go to bed. Then I started crying and couldn't stop. I was crying like a baby, a child. One of those cries that are just out of disappointment, without anger, without a sensible reason. Balling.
When I tell you why you're going to laugh, because, in the end, it is kinda funny.
See, I think I'm horrible with gift giving, especially with guys. I enjoy watching people open gifts with that "WOW" factor in their eyes. I like giving gifts that I know people actually like and will use. But I'm a girl, and my perspective does not help me find appropriate guy gifts.
So, I have been thinking about this one for quite sometime. Shaina gave me the idea really. And Dan said that he wanted a new Michigan hat before he left for Utah... but he didn't end up getting one beforehand. So, there I had it. I would send him a hat. I knew he would love it.
I even personalized it- put some stickers on it that said "I love you, GO BLUE!" It was perfect; it was simple and he could take them off.
So today (technically yesterday...) I spent half as much on sending it out to him as I did to purchase the darn thing. Money that I really don't have.
This evening I was looking through his pictures of a recent trip that he took this week. Then I realized what was upon his head... Yup, you guessed it... a Michigan hat.
I'm just über disappointed about it. I can't believe it! I finally feel like I did something awesome, and he is totally not going to be "WOW"ed.
So that's when the balling started. I'm not going to hear the "WOW"ness because there isn't going to be any "WOW"ness...
But, I have to look at the bright side, I'm going to get a hat out of the deal, without having to buy one for myself!

Hey,
Send Daniel the hat. He loves anything you do for him and he would love that. :-) I think the hat he was wearing was one that my Dad had bought and passed down for the time being. I am sure yours would be more enjoyable to wear and he would wear it with pride. Cheer up. :-)

Well, you're wrong about one thing. There was a WOW-factor to me opening up my present. One because of the box it was in and two because of the stickers and three because it was from you and four because it was from Ann Arbor. Mine I just got out here in Utah, nothing real big about it. But you personalized this hat and made it something significantly special and I love it so much more than the one I got for myself. Plus it's from the Steve and Barry's in Ann Arbor, why wouldn't I keep it. I love it, Corey, and I am keeping it.
