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.

Relax, other than life sustaining medications, there is nothing terribly vital to be forgotten.

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.

Ghoulish Delight · 01-04-2011, 04:06 PM

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!
