Um, do you think this will fly?

So I'm not a huge fan of V-Day. And have totally spaced it this year. BF is working late tonight, but when he left at 4:30am this morning to go to work he managed to put a V-Day card on my windshield so I'd find it in the morning (way more forethought than I've ever had, he's usually pretty good about this though).

After work today I tried to go to the store to pick him up a card, but the roads were insane, it took me 10 minutes to get one block and had 7 more to go and this was after my regular commute which normally takes twenty minutes took me 45.

So do you think he'd appreciate if I wrote a long poem by like Yeats or somebody on the White board on the fridge where he normally leaves me little love notes? Or should I venture out to unknown results?

I'm also thinking I'll clean the catbox for him (which is his job), just as a special treat.

The poem sounds like a great idea.....maybe you could bake him something too.

I think a poem would be nice but baked goods and a foot massage would be even better.  If you can't whip up something simple in the kitchen (cake mix counts as baking) and/or you'd rather not give him a foot massage or back rub why not write a letter about why you love him?  It doesn't have to rhyme it just has to be heart felt.

As someone in an area where getting tot he store is also very tricky I'd highly reccomend staying indoors. But your idea sounds like fun. At least it shows you're thinking about hime.

I am so not a baker and who knows what time he'll be home, it's a commercial shoot today and those take forever, I'm looking through poems right now.

Greeting him at the door wrapped in cellophane would probably do the trick.   

[MadMadge43]

Ok, I wrote the poem on the board, by Shelly by the way, so I went top notch. I'm just about to clean out the litter box.

I am not about to sit around it cellophane for the two hour time window he could be home in, but I guess I could pull out the "box" from when I worked at Victoria Secret, which has sat under the bed for over 15 years now, I wonder if anything will still fit.

I think he'll be more impressed with the litter box though...

[MadMadge43]

Thanks for all your advice.

He loved the poem on the fridge. But after an 18 hour work day he was exhausted but said he needed to clean the litter box and I was able to say I already did it, happy V-Day! He almost cried and then quickly fell asleep. Oh romance is live and well in the litter box.

Maybe I should do it more often. (his days aren't normally this outrageously long and he has plenty of them off so I normally don't feel that guilty since I do almost everything else)

[Shoo]

I was wondering what you meant about the litter box, but I was afraid to ask!

I am very impressed with your gift-giving ability - you know your husband well and gave him two gifts that he really appreciated.   Way better than a card!

[MadMadge43]

Thank you Ninja 710 - but I'm not sure it's all that impressive.

I think what you did was far better than a card would have been.

I believe that love is shown more than said.  The words are very important, but the actions are oh-so-veryvery much more important.

KWIM?
