Taking the Next Step...

I'll start with a fun little story about what happened this weekend... in a nutshell, I got hit on by a popular DJ that has a morning show here in Arizona. A lot of my friends and I listen to the show every morning. I've seen him out once before so when I saw him Saturday night, I knew who he was instantly. But when he came over to ask me if I was drinking a Grey Goose martini (which indeed I was) I played dumb. After introductions, flirty remarks, explanations on our presence at the bar, it "dawned" on me... "Oh, you're Chuck of 'The Morning Ritual with Chuck and Vince'? Wow." The night wasn't complete without my souvenir photo - coming soon to a blog near you.

And now for a guilty confession.

I did it. I bought a Christmas present for HCD.

I know, I know. It's a little presumptuous, but we've been having good talks lately and spending a lot of time together. He asked me to go snowboarding with him for New Years. And it's not that personal or expensive of a gift - just a watch case for his one million and one watches. Engraved with his initials. What do you think? Stupid? Thoughtful? The watches just lay there on his dresser... and they're expensive watches. They deserve a leather case with a velvet lining... even though he may not.

*gulp*

Maybe I've made a mistake. Oh well. Too late now. As the warning "Engraved gifts are non-refundable" eerily flashed before my eyes, I clicked the "Process Order" button.
