That was one of the reasons I stopped doing special things for hubby; it wasn't fun because he didn't even smile - I'd just got a flat "thanks". Ugh. It was really terrific being the one who got to hunt down the gifts, though! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-66960938185684546232007-02-20T19:04:00.000-06:002007-02-20T19:04:00.000-06:00That is so cute!

He really made it fun and special. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of a day for singles, but noodles with black sauce . . . ugh, that sounds awful! So, you still have White Day to look forward to? Or did you celebrate Valentine's?<BR/><BR/>Nyssaneala,<BR/><BR/>Most definitely!! And, they're especially special, I suppose, when you're used to a spouse who ignores the gushy stuff. LOL<BR/><BR/>Andi,<BR/><BR/>I've heard of isolated cases, but this was a new one for me. Back when we were newlyweds, I was the one who did little things like hide a basket of goodies for Easter, etc. Eventually, I was converted to "ignore a holiday" mode and I think that's when hubby started to sit up and take notice. Sneaky, eh? ;)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-63082675815228409512007-02-19T20:53:00.000-06:002007-02-19T20:53:00.000-06:00Whoa!

I...I am really really impressed with your husband! I like a little cleverness mixed in with my romance, and I can see everyone would agree with me.<BR/><BR/>Valentine's Day here is a bust for women. Feb. 14 is the day men get chocolate, presents, etc. Fast forward to March 14 -- White Day. That's when the men give women gifts, and that's the one that's heavily advertised, like Valentine's is at home. April 14 is Black Day. People who are single go out together with a group of friends and for dinner, they eat some kind of noodle dish with black sauce.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-21140552149990449162007-02-19T17:13:00.000-06:002007-02-19T17:13:00.000-06:00Carrie,That's funny.

Hubby said I played right into his hands because I sent him out to run errands the day before he left town.<BR/><BR/>LOL! Thanks for the compliment on the pic. No, I wasn't driving! I don't know what kind of tree that is, but the birds love it! I stood on the driveway and took a bunch of photos of the robins. There were between a dozen and twenty of them in the tree, chomping on the berries. It was so fun to watch them and listen to all the chirping. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-30579944738663655472007-02-19T16:24:00.001-06:002007-02-19T16:24:00.001-06:00He's okay, Les.

I made him a card in advance but forgot to tuck it in his suitcase. Oops. :)<BR/><BR/>Jenclair,<BR/><BR/>That's exactly how I felt. He could have just sent me on a scavenger hunt with a card at the end and that would have thrilled me just as much. It's the thought that counts and I loved how much he put into it and the little private references!<BR/><BR/>Hi Nat! <BR/><BR/>Thanks, I thought so, too. I guess this means I have to keep him. ;)<BR/><BR/>Heather,<BR/><BR/>Thanks, I agree. And, I can tell you that there have been many years that I would have been thrilled just to get flowers and a box of chocolates. This year was extra special. <BR/><BR/>BTW, all my jewels are cubic zirconia; we were robbed when I was expecting my eldest (a little shy of 23 years ago) and I never had any urge to replace my little sparkler with another diamond. <BR/><BR/>What a sweetie-pie your daughter is!! :)<BR/><BR/>Les,<BR/><BR/>I've deleted them.
