Sooo... packing for 15 days away turns out to be kind of a big deal. Oh gods. I know I'm going to forget something terribly vital.
I can't wait for it to be Wednesday morning. We'll be on the train to Burbank, and it will all be too late to worry about. |

what about her Hello Kitty wristwatch?

Not vital.

Actually I was thinking it might be good to have a watch- but all of them need new batteries. My dad's old watch, a Goofy one, a purple one (would never wear pink!!!!), or the tiny little pretty one my mom bought me. Given how close we are to the wire, I doubt it will happen at all.
|
The last two watches I've worn on a daily basis are "automatics" - they wind themselves simply by the momentum of wearing them. I doubt I'll ever go back to a watch with batteries.
|
I don't want a self-winding (or solar powered) watch because then I'd wear the same watch for the rest of my life. The death of a battery is my trigger to treat myself to a new watch.
|
I'm clumsy enough that my trigger is when the crystal is scratched up enough that I'd need to send it in to get it replaced. I think at this point I keep wearing a watch mostly because if I didn't, judging by the abuse my watch faces take, I'd shatter my wrist without one.
|
I can never keep a wristwatch running for more than a month or so. It doesn't matter if it's a wind-up, battery powered, or self-winding - digital or analog. They all just stop on me. Must be my magnetic personality...
|
I'm told my grandpa was like that- never could keep a watch running.
I was successful in my quest- so a pretty watch with a square face and numbers, and my dad's old watch with just tick-marks both have new batteries and the guy even set the right time! |
