I Won't Trade Him For Anything

What is up with the new Nintendo DS that all stores in the metropolitan Bay Area are out of stock? I think they have been out of stock since early December. D needed to buy one today so I called Costco, Circuit City, Ebgames, and GameStop all over the Bay Area but they were all out of stock and I was told that they are getting more by Thursday. I called a few Best Buy locations but they didn't have it neither until finally, I called Best Buy in Pittsburg and yes, they have it! Maybe it's because Pittsburg is kind of in the outskirts of the Bay already, I don't know. I'm just happy that D got what he needed.

Then while I was driving home, he mentioned he had something for me and that he left it on top of my stairs. I was surprised! I mean, I haven't even seen what it was and I was already melting in my car. So after working out, I rushed home and I saw this bluish plastic bag and I realized it was a Disney Store bag. And I went, "Oh my God!" It's Dash!!!!!!!! I was screamin and laughing and jumping and twirling. Man, I felt like a kid again! I immediately called D and left a message on his voicemail. I think I must have been screaming with glee when I left the message.

See, I totally fell in love with Dash, one of the characters in "The Incredibles." He's that little boy that dashes everywhere, hence the name Dash. He was so cute and so adorable and I can't forget that scene where he and his mom and sister fell from their aircraft down to the ocean while on a mission to rescue their father. He was floating on the water and screamed, "We're dead! We're dead!" And the way he said it was so funny and the way he shook his head was just hilarious. So in December, I told D I really wanted Dash as a Christmas present. I wanted him so bad that D looked everywhere for him but it seemed like all Disney Store was sold out. I was even willing to settle for those tiny little plastic figurines that you get from a dispenser. But the thing is, we already tried putting 4 quarters in a toy dispenser at the Metreon but we didn't have luck. D and I got Dash's mom the first time and his sister the second time. So we gave up.

Then out of the blue, D stoppped by my place to surprise me with a Dash plush stuffed toy! God, how thoughtful of him! The moment I held the toy in my hands, I just wanted to kiss and hug D for being so sweet and so thoughtful. But he wasn't there so I'll save it all for next time I see him. :)

I am really happy right now, not because I got Dash following me around the house but because I am so lucky to have the most thoughtful and the most loving man on earth. And no, I won't trade him for anything!

and for D:

"Thank you so much baby! That was mighty sweet of you and really, really thoughtful. I am so touched! You knew how bad I wanted to have a Dash toy and you took the time to get it for me. That just totally blows me away. You're the best babe! I wuv you.... more!"
