The boy is such a romantic, even after ....(I'm thinking...)...12 years together.
Last night he brought home a dozen long-stemmed pinky-orange roses (though one promptly beheaded itself while I was trying to get them into the vase), and a mystery present which he put in the fridge.
So I realised I had very little time to get him something back (eeek!)
Then, the universe helped me out. When I got to my lunchtime hair appointment, I was told (very apologetically) that my stylist was running 15 minutes late. Would that be a problem?
You bet it would! Well not really, except that I'd be late back to work. But I seized the opportunity to re-book for tomorrow afternoon instead - which meant that my lunch break was now free for present and card shopping.
So I got the boy a card that has a picture of a Star Wars storm trooper on the front and the words "Super Trooper". And for a present I got him a Hello Kitty Frankenstein - that's a Hello Kitty doll which is puce green and has bolts on the sides of her head. Super-cute in a geeky sort of way. Which he loved.
Love and kisses everyone.
p.s. the present in the fridge turned out to be a box of individually chosen designer chocs.
Sounds nice. Ray sent me a text while he was at work saying " whoops forgot it was valentines day!". Next thing a man was climbing the steps with a bunch of flowers.... For my neighbour! In his defence Ray came home and said it was the worst day at work that he has ever had.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I think Valentines Day is a big commercial con - but then you can't ignore it unless you both agree to it or there could be big trouble!
