I was thinking about it and realized something. I was feeling good about our conversation, so I projected my wants on to the situation rather than just observing it and accepting it as it was. I was surprised about her offering to get the laptop for me for x-mas and so I felt good about things and pushed that feeling too far into an action that I hadn't needed to (and shouldn't have). Live and learn I guess.
