Back Home Again

Today I made it back from Jackson, MS. I drove there this weekend to spend time with my nephew. He and I had fun. My friend from NYC had to go to Puerto Rico. He left on Wednesday. He had a family emergy and he and his father had to fly out there. He flys home today. He called me in between flights. The bad news is he is missing the Superbowl. He isn't very happy about that. Nonetheless, he and I are still looking forward to Atlanta. I haven't decided on whether or not I will get him a Valentine's Day gift. I don't want to go empty handed but I also don't want to send a wrong message. I don't want him to think that I am trying to rush into a relationship with him. I also don't want to get there with a gift for him and he has nothing for me. That would make him feel awkward I'm sure. I also don't want him to have something for me and I don't have anything to give him. I feel like I am caught in between what to do and what not to do. This will be the first man I have ever bought a Valentine's Day gift for; should I decide to purchase a gift that is. I figured the safe route would be to buy a gift small enough to fit in my luggage. That way if he gives me a gift I can just give him his gift. If he doens't have a gift for me then I simply just won't give him a gift. Makes sense right? That way no one feels awkward. Now the question becomes what to get him. I am no good at buying something outside of cologne, a watch, or a nice tie. All of those things are so generic to me and it doens't imply nor require much thought. I would hate to be so predictable like that. How do women do this every year? I will figure something out. Till then....
