Today I finished Christmas shopping. I hope James won't mind that I bought him organizing planners and similiar equipment. They have a beach and palm tree theme, since he wears Hawaiian shirts... about 30% of the time, which is enough to make an impact.
I bought him organizers to help him be more organized, although he doesn't really need to be. He thinks he does. He has a forgetful habit, so I'll remind him of things, and then he'll say, "Oh, right. I'm sorry, I'm not very organized." Uh, no, you're actually great at organizing. You're forgetful. There is a difference.
Hopefully he'll soon realize there is a difference. I doubt he will.
It does. However, Bindi Irwin vaguely reminds me of our Cleopatra... whose name also connects to snakes. Huh.
I brought that up to her parents, the way her namesake demised. They didn't think that was important. But they're weird enough to want to name a son something like Leonardo da Vinci Columbus Copernicus Michaelangelo Genius [Last Name]. (All right, it's Ben that's the weird one.)
