I got my birthday present from Carl early, because I begged enough after he let it slip that he'd already bought it! It's a black iHome iPod dock/clock radio. I love waking up to music, but not when it's the random selection of a DJ with whom I may or may not share the same taste. I'm creating my "Waking" play list right now; Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice" is at the top of the list and I have yet to decide what else I really want on it.
Carl told me last month that he was having trouble figuring out what to get me for my birthday, so I just told him what I wanted. I don't have a problem with that at all, because he always puts a lot of effort in to my gifts and usually always chooses something perfect. I have gotten an unattractive pair of shoes in the past and a dress that's just slightly trashy, but otherwise he's always hit the mark. Besides, it really is the thought that counts and I know how carefully he goes about his shopping for me.
I wish I still had a sketch of him I did when we were first seeing eachother, because now that I'm drawing again I'd like to expand upon it. Unfortunately, I didn't evacuate with that particular sketch book. I think I remember the drawing perfectly, but I'm sure there would be a lot lost if I tried to transfer my memory of a quick sketch in to a new, finished piece. I would love to use him as a subject more often, but I'm sure that sitting for me would make him uncomfortable, both because of the time and exposure required.
