In my post-partum hormone mess, I have had a hard time with the commercials on television lately. Especially the Kay Jewelers commercials, those slay me. I sincerely covet the "Wow Experience" displayed on the commercials, but there is one problem: I totally do not wear jewelry. And I do not have a comfy couch next to a roaring fire. But besides that. . .
Garry and I got engaged around Christmas time, 2002. A mere six years ago. That season was full of a zillion Wow Experiences. Garry took me to a play I had wanted to see since I was in high school. And we tried a restaurant he had wanted to try for awhile. And he got me a present I had wanted forever. It was a lot of fun. This year, the Wow Experience has been eliminated in the practicality of the KitchenAid Mixer, which Garry is quick to point out was my idea. It was not one of my best, but I hope it will pay great dividends in the future.
So what is the rule for Wow Experiences? Do you get one a decade? Is the preciousness of the Wow Experience its rarity? Or is it something that we can seek for every year? Or after you have children, does every consideration go into creating their Wow Experiences and letting go of our own?

I was thinking about this the other day when I stumbled upon the one and only Christmas gift I didn't know about previously. I'm totally craving a gift that wows me, but it doesn't look like this will be the year. Drats.
Every day brings WoW experiences if one stops to think about it. Sometimes I think we women get to impracticle in what a WOW experience should be and we miss a whole lot of smaller WOWs!
You just HAD a major wow experience. The birth of your beautiful daughter!!! Looking back, I'd have to say those were my best experiences!
