Thermapen! My gift to myself and a cooking changing item!

misses: J Crew sent only the pants to D’s PJ set. First time in 31 yrs. that she did not have new one on C eve.
(Crew refunded my money within hrs. of my email–so that was a good thing).

Hits – H ran out and bought me two amazing tape measures when I mentioned a few days before that I wanted them.
He also bought tickets to a jazz performance as I had said I wanted an “event”.
He also gave me the FOOD book that NPR advised on Splendid Table–that was my best as he thought of it and me.

Years ago: I told H (who was a terrible gift giver) that I wanted a gold bracelet that was $119 and had a label that said “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. I told him that as he walked in the door it was on the left in the case.
He bought the one next to it for $139 and was too large for me. Many many stories like this so it is so nice
that he finally a good gift buyer.
