Which is goo...my husband is spontaneously romantic. Which is good because he can't remember dates to save himself. For example, I've given up expecting him to remember that Thanksgiving is always on Thursday--never mind a specific Thursday. <br /><br />Valentine's Day? I doubt he'd even be able to guess the month correctly...without a lot of shameless prompting on my part. lol!<br /><br />The upside is I get flowers, cards and gifts at random intervals for no other reason than that he's thinking of me. <br /><br />And, seriously, how can a scheduled holiday compete with that?<br /><br />The last present I received for a <i>specific</i> reason was a beautiful opal ring he gave me several days after my car was rear-ended. <br /><br />I asked him what prompted the gesture--because with a newly totaled car that needed replacing, it's not like we needed to be spending money on jewelry--and he said it was because he was just so grateful because I could have been hurt and I wasn't.PG Fortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819909187492632526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-23982918863936597662010-02-12T19:07:46.215-05:002010-02-12T19:07:46.215-05:00Maybe *we* should all win something for loving the...Maybe *we* should all win something for loving them anyway!! *G*Erin Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216604251011058060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-89309308643541808372010-02-12T18:54:24.656-05:002010-02-12T18:54:24.656-05:00i think I'll win My hubby doesn't even kno...i think I'll win My hubby doesn't even know valentine's day is coming up and it's the 12th today. Oh well sighs can't be any worse than last years " what do you mean you don't want to cook. Why would we be going out " with a clearly puzzled look. He remembers no holidays *sigh* <br /><br />-jenniferJennifer Mathishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348224965449535905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-91830381202886102412010-02-12T15:25:40.960-05:002010-02-12T15:25:40.960-05:00Well my husband has to rank right up there with th...Well my husband has to rank right up there with the unromantic ones. He's a great husband and I love him but I will never expect romantic gestures on Valentine's day either. Stay tuned for if I even get a card. But Erin's right, Valentine's isn't the only day you should show your love so when he does the dishes and the laundry for me, I'll take that as a sign of his love and I'll be happy!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865842550376328393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-9777272915241829542010-02-12T11:52:47.608-05:002010-02-12T11:52:47.608-05:00Awwwww!

And yesterday, when I was feeling low, he took me to Boulder for dinner. Bless him!Meg Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081153466394828760noreply@blogger.com
