For a few months, I had decided that my present husband was oblivious to many things that involve me. And, while that might be true, occasionally he actually notices that I am here. February 14 was actually one of those days. I was asked to work over, as we had a few call ins (for whatever reason) and I said yes. I worked 14 hours that day and when I came home I had some cheese and crackers and went to bed. That was about all I could manage at the time. He was already in bed as he has to be at work at 3 most mornings.
The next morning I noticed a dozen roses, a card and a present - all laying on the counter. I must have been more "out of it" than I thought. My present - wrapped in beautiful valentine paper- was a box of Girl Scout Thin Mints. It made me laugh out loud. He is paying more attention than I thought. Who else would have thought to get those for me?
What did I give him? Nothing then, but I took him out to breakfast today and dinner tonight - to places he chose. I think he enjoyed that more than anything else I could have done. He and another relative I know, are very hard to buy for on special occasions. If they want something, they buy it. That leaves me with nothing to buy. I usually end up giving gift cards or checks.
Wiener especially enjoyed the prime rib that was left over from dinner. Prime rib is one of her favorites. (She has a rough life) No cookies for her though. The cookies are definitely mine!
