a most satisfying moment

verbicideSo, back in September, I bought Sarah a 7-cup Cuisinart for her birthday. Shortly after it arrived, I learned about the existence of Rome 2, and went shrieking into the night to buy that instead.
As the enormous Amazonian box sat in my office, tripping me daily, I kept vascillating on whether to just return it or keep it for her Christmas present. Mainly my indecision was based on a vague memory of what Sarah had said about them. I couldn't remember if she desperately wanted one, or if she'd decided she didn't have the kitchen space for it.
When we met for coffee today, I blurted out my dilemma, Sarah juggled with the option of getting a present NOW versus a wrapped surprise in December. Ultimately, she went for curtain A, and I told her, and she was excited!
So she drove around to the front of my office and I heaved the enormous thing at her with a tiny bow on top.
As cooking is a new passion for Sarah, I continue to be vicariously giddy at her enjoyment with it. Also, she's kind of a natural. Her cooking is always terrific. I'm excited that she's excited about a major cooking appliance. I would give anything to give 15-year old Sarah a window into 25-year old her excited about something that will chop, dice, and prepare pie dough.
And giving presents is exciting, and now I won't trip over that huge box anymore!
