title pic I need a present

Posted by Alli on February 12, 2008

Last Friday Damon and I took some time in the evening to look at the stars through his dad’s telescope. We found Mars and I marveled at how clear the stars were.

While we had our necks craned backwards I felt something creepy crawly slither down my back. I reached into my shirt, pulled something wiggly from my bra strap and threw it on the ground. We went inside to check out something on Sky an Telescope’s interactive sky map. As I stood there in the living room I realized what I threw onto the ground in disgust- my necklace.

I went back outside with some light and found the necklace (broken), but was distressed to not find the four leaf clover charm usually found on the gold chain. I looked again the next day with the sun to help and still no charm.

The gold chain was a gift from our friend Linda (aka Todd’s Mom) on the day of my college graduation (not one of those online universities). The four leaf clover was from Damon, given also on the day of my graduation. I wore them pretty much all the time. It was light and just the right adornment for my taste.

And now, my neck feels naked and I wonder what to get to replace it. The same thing? My vintage typewriter necklace? Or should I just drop heavy hints to someone special in hope that he know what to get me?

I just wish it hadn’t broken. Then I wouldn’t even have to think about it.
