I’m leaving the house this afternoon - partly because I’m getting stir crazy, being sick, staying home - mainly though because I am part of the 67% who don’t plan ahead for Valentine’s Day.
As I am getting ready to leave, my wonderful bride of 13 years, starts the interrogation.
“Where are you going?”
“Out.”
“Where?”
“Not here.”
“Where are you going? You are sick!”
I realize at this point I don’t have the physical, mental, or emotional reserves to withstand this attack. I am sick and thus extremely vulnerable. I decide to punt.
“I’m going out to buy your Valentine’s present.”
“Oh honey, please don’t get me anything.”
Now at this point, I’m thinking - what a cool woman I got. We’ve been saving money like crazy for Brazil and she is just “on the team!”
Then she says this….
“If you aren’t going to get me diamonds, there is really no point in getting me anything.”
I had no response.

Our valentines day consisted of lunch with the kids at at Chick-Fil-A at the mall. Amy then hauled them to the doctor where we found the baby has the flu, strep and a double ear infection! then had to high tale it back to maumelle, drop the well kids off, run back to Little Rock, pick up 4 other kids and then drop them off at their house. We are having take out Senior Tequila for dinner.
No diamonds, no roses…talk about your weird family.

You gotta pick and choose the battles Grant, and considering your sick you don’t have the enrgy to do either

Ok, I laughed out loud as I read your wife’s comment…my wife asks me what I’m laughing at.
I relay the story to her and all she has to say is: “And what’s funny about that? I’d say the same thing!”
Girls…they always side with each other. It’s just unfair.

Dude. Your site got non-romantic to my eyes. The lime green is painful, and the missing grey margins leave not contrast. I know you didn’t make it for my eyes….

When a woman says, “”Oh honey, please don’t get me anything.”
It really means, “I can’t believe you waited to the last minute and you better get something really good or your in big trouble.
