Gifts

I was lucky enough to get several gifts this weekend. I visited Rachel and went to the Oakland Farmer's Market with her on Sunday. Discovered the most delicious Afghan bread and spread. [Rachel, I should have bought double what I got]

Before we headed over, she gave Tesla a cute doll aptly named Pookie...and for me a tokidoki LeSportSac that wraps around my wrist. Perfect for putting money and such inside as I run around with Tesla (or run around dancing). And...omg...inside was a small ring that Rachel had made for me for Mother's Day. I was floored. It says, "Tesla Rhea 7.5.06" I LOVE it. I LOVE that I can have a bit of Tesla on me when I go to work.

We also laughed that I can use this as a wedding ring. Dav and I were going to get tattoos, but found out that it fades and gets blurry, so isn't ideal on the finger. We have some ideas for rings, but haven't got around to designing and making it (we aren't the type to buy a ring from a store and I certainly am not into rocks). Anyway, I do have a problem when I go out without Dav, and have complained that I'd like something, anything, that would indicate to others that I'm taken/not interested/ married-so-leave-me-alone. Thoughtful Rachel suggested that I can now put this ring on "the finger" so I can go out in peace. Thank you, sis. I love you!

And now for the gift from Dav. (I'm glad I can combine this into a post about Rachel too since a post just about this gift would make me too embarrassed.) I *am* touched by the gift. To me, it's such a compliment. So I want to blog about it, but you know....it's not your typical bouquet of flowers (which Dav does also give).

Just read the t-shirt; 'nuf said. I love it. Seriously...that's why our marriage works for us. We have fun.

Reminds me of this other gift t-shirt he gave me which I turned into a dare. I may wear this newer shirt to work. Those who read Kokoch at 6A, you gotta support me, k?
