In my humble opinion, those who believe that Valentines Day is a Hallmark holiday, are the dorks and losers who refuse to love a woman the way a woman should be loved.
As I walked into my front door this evening, I was met by my sister-in-law. She was walking down the path from my mother-in-laws house next door....She asked knowingly, "did my brother do anything for you?" And I asked her "what do you think" .. A conversation commenced about how she believed that men should not need a holiday to be romantic with their wives (this coming from a never-been-married 45 year old)..
I believe this is true, BUT ..hello? Vic ain't no Dean Martin.. he isn't looking deep into my eyes ..while belting out a tune about me being hot like Pasta Fazoole.. I figured I could count on 1 day .. 1 FRICKEN day a year where a little romance would come my way. Think about it.. The unromantic putzes have a fool proof holiday to score a few points .. EVERYTHING is prepackage and at every store..
Is it so difficult to think of someone other then yourself..? OK you dont believe in Valentines Day... But can't you take the time to make your wife feel special? Is that so much to ask??
I called Vic ...when I finally got inside.. (Linda, sister-in-law, is a talker.. blah blah blah quit my job to go on Star Search.. blah blah blah) and told him to call the florist because there was obviously a huge mistake.. as I had not received my flowers.. With a laugh, he said the tree was my gift. The tree you ask? Well it was a FREE tree.. that I arranged for..
I have to interject a little story here... my old office is closing .. and the word was out that all the old office plants were up for grabs. I snagged a 7ft HUMONGOUS tree.. and asked Victor to go pick it up.. (in his pickup truck) ..
I am a total believer in the journey being part of the gift.. but Vic didn't know about the tree until EARLIER TODAY! What does that tell you, dear reader? (heavy sigh)
