So, VD is nearing, and although I loathe doing something on VD just to say I did something, I really do want to do something special for the wife. I'm not always attentive and romantic as I should, but it simply sounds wrong to me to get flowers or candy or PJs or what have you, just because everybody else is going to do something. I don't think that's the way it ought to be.
So I'd like to do something, but not on Valentines Day something. But of course if I don't do something, I seem like an uncaring jerk, who couldn't even make an effort on VALENTINES DAY of all days!
So I got to think of something. Normally we've gone to Traverse City or somewhere for a romantic getaway and spend some income tax refund or hit the TC Winter Festival. But this year we have a stupid Band Boosters Carnival to work at, so that's out the friggin window (anyone notice a slight bit of hostility about this??)
Flowers are out, Chocolates are out. Teddy bears are out. Pajamas are out (but not necessarily lingeries...)
I may have to see if there is a nice restaurant that we can go to on Sunday, either in TC or GR. I'd suggest someplace like Founders, but I fear that such a suggestion will likely lead to something other than a romantic evening...
Someone out there HAS to be in the same boat!! What am I gonna do??
