The husband and I were lamenting that we hadn’t had time to make each other Valentine’s Day cards this year, but thankfully, every day truly is like Valentine’s Day around here. We just feel fortunate we’re both still alive! And can share our lives with each other.

Skip the holidays on purpose, as a statement of your independence from sales and marketing having any connection to your personal relationship. Treat each other as nice as you can everyday and appreciate having someone close that gives a hoot about you. It’s like dollar cost averaging, you’ll come out ahead in the long run. Any man that would attempt to buy his wife clothing is an idiot. If he tries it and he’s not married, it makes it easy for the woman to decide to bail out before marrying the idiot. It’s easier to go with the truth and tell her she’s the cutest sweetheart in the world in those sweats.

The “what size does your wife wear?” is such a cruel question, isn’t it? Only a fool of a man would try to buy a gift that required precise knowledge of her butt or boob size. The risks are too high!

Thanks for the laugh. I saw these men yesterday, too. They behaved exactly the same way in Boston, so I guess it’s pretty universal. Note: Boston did have some women carrying bouquets, too.

All I can say about Valentine’s Day is bah, humbug. I want my husband to treat me like a Queen EVERY day, not just Feb. 14th!

Nah, one day a year doesn’t work. If he’s not paying attention all year wrong, he doesn’t have the ghost of a chance of getting it right on Valentine’s Day. What we need is a Boot Camp for Boy Friends/Husbands where they spend an intensive week learning about their woman’s preferences in life.

Valentine’s Day, in general, has always made me nervous!

Let’s just say I’m glad I bought myself a bag of chocolate truffles the other day. I got a card, unsigned. That’s it.

You are too funny. Hee Hee! I must admit though, you are right as rain. Thanks for the giggle.
