does she like the spa? you and her could get a combo massage and mani pedi.

a woman loves a man who is willing to temporarily give up his manliness for her

(or so i've heard)

All depends.

Managed to get some family to watch the baby for most of the day while we went to one of our favorite lunch restaurants. Then went to a few malls she liked to go to in the past but we haven't been able to get there for a long while. While there I stopped into a jewelry store and pick up some nice earrings for her. That last bit was the splurge part on me though.

A nice small jewelry box

A comfortable blanket

Take something she owns and have it engraved

Have flowers delivered to her work

A nice pair of birth stone earrings from etsy

It's not that difficult.

Those photobooks make a nice gift. Gather up cool photos from your first year (especially honeymoon photos) and get them made into a photobook.

Even Costco photo does this. most of the other online photo sites do this as well like flickr, shutterfly, and snapfish.

Not to criticize the Michelangelo of pomes, but might I suggest inserting "Now give me dat a**" after the last line?

no room for swares in my pomes! :colbert:

edit: you can shop the shop if you want though :D

The wife walked in and said Happy Anniversary, laughed and had these :p

Almost a Karma thing I was posting here when she walked in, forgot ours, and she's laughing atm.

:)

I guess the wife thought Roast Beefs and French Dips worked !!!

*edit * I have been told I'm taking her out Saturday night for Grouper sandwiches though.

:biggrin:

Was going to go down to Frenchys on the beach http://frenchysonline.com/locations/frenchys-rockaway/, but think we're going to just sit at Rumbas near the house and chill out.

I like their martinis and calamari anyways, can sit out on the porch and chill out a bit :)

Frenchys is a PITA to get to, and would spend twice as much for the same things.

Rumbas has their own fleet of boats out fishing everyday like Frenchys.

That ans it's right around the corner almost.

Grouper and Martinis inbound :)

I need a chopper lift recommendation for my wife.


I'm new to the parody thread, and didn't feel brave enough to start a thread for it, so....here.

Nice guy.

I wish that was my Bentley in the background :)

I don't think the manager really was looking forward to your e-Cig.

You look like a pothead.
