One week till Valentine's Day. I have my presents for Craig all ready to go. Who knows if they will remain a secret till Sunday. Craig and I are notorious for telling each other about the presents we've bought. I knew about my Christmas present last year, tickets to see Britney in concert. He has found out about his birthday presents the past two years and his Christmas present in 2008.
I am determined to keep these presents a secret though. And for one good reason, our Valentine's Days have just sucked. Yup, total crapola for what will now be three straight years. So presents are all we really have. We screw this up, and we might as well swear off Valentine's Day forever.
The first year we were together we ended up at a Japanese grill (i.e. dinner with strangers) because the restaurant we wanted to go to was packed at like 5:30pm. After we saw some shoot 'em up, depressing movie. The movie was so bad, I can't remember the name of it. I am going to give this an A- though. Cause it only gets worse.
Last year, Craig went to Buffalo for a long weekend. Yup. F-
This year we will be in Florida with friends. On Valentine's Day, Craig will be at the Daytona 500. D-
So hopefully we can salvage what we have of the holiday by surprising each other with our thoughtful presents on Valentine's Day!
She already got one of her gifts... personalized M&Ms. She's been snacking on them for two weeks.
ReplyDeleteTold you we are bad at keeping presents a surprise! I think this one was given early for BOTH of our (snacking) enjoyment though.
