What would be ultra cool of me to do for her or have for her when she gets home?
Looking for all suggestions here!
Let your imagination run wild for me since I lack one.
 
You didn't go with her. Have you gone mad man?!?!?!?!😉

Do you own your house? If so, painting/landscaping/etc stuff you've "been meaning to get around to" suddenly done when she gets back is always a good thing. Grab a few friends, promise them all the beer/pizza they can handle when you're done and have at it! I terraced our backyard while the wife was gone in NC for a few days and she about passed out when she got home. 😀

Well I live in an apartment but she is always drawing cute I love you notes and stuff...maybe I should draw a picture or paint something for her..


You could move to a new house and not tell her
True but she works full time/I work part time and a student...then oakenfold poor, have no pc, no DSL..life is not worth living at that point...😀






would never be like that...
We've been married for only a year and a half so not too long. She works hard to put me through school.
I think this is the least that I can offer her and support her on. She's there with like 4 other girls, one or two of which are married/engaged.

Hmm any other thoughts?


 
Can you cook? Having a gourmet dinner ready to go when she gets home is always a good thing. Just get everything purchased ahead of time, go get her at the airport, bring her home, announce you will be making dinner, put on some music and give her a nice glass of wine to sip, and whip up a feast!🙂

A slightly more boring alternative: clean the house. Coming home to a super-tidy pad is always a good thing. You could also wash, wax and detail her car. My wife always gets a huge kick out of that.

Buy some houseplants (ask the local garden center for "stuff I can't kill" if you're not a green thumb)?

I'll add more if I think of any.

Hmmmmm.

Champagne . . . ice bucket . . . lots of candles. Strawberries.

Set it up in the bedroom, then buy some rose petals and make a trail from the front door to the bedroom with candles and rose petals. Turn all the lights out before she gets home and wait.

After that . . . shoot, man, do I need to draw you a picture?
 
You let her go to the Keys without you! Man, she ain't comin' back 😉 I go there 1-2 times a year to visit friends and even though I only live a 6 hour drive from Key West leaving isn't easy. This is me hung over at the Cuban Club where we stay on Duval St. pic and if you look close that's the Banana House Cafe' behind me where we always have brunch ( good cafe con leche and fruit cups) Anyways, I'll be down there in August so if you tell me what she looks like I'll tell her you miss her 😛 J/K BTW, just be looking your studliest when she gets back because that's what she'll be after 😉 All those romantic settings without you there will have her longing for some hot buttered love when she gets home 😀
 
Clean the house, do all the laundry you are capable of doing and basically do everything she would need to do around the house when she gets back so that she can relax for a few days after being home and just enjoy being home.
 
1- Clean the place... everything. Dust, mop, wipe, vaccum, etc.

2- Have a great romantic evening planned, but remember, she'll be tired from the trip.

My wife and #5 are in Seattle. Here is what I am doing:

1) ensuring a clean house upon her return (i.e. no dirty clothes or dishes)
2) fridge is full so she won't need to go shopping
3) car is washed and full of gas
4) I baked cookies tonight cause she likes choc chip cookies

NO i'm not normally like this but she always handles the house when I'm on the road so much and hey it's her birthday Sunday.

goodluck to whatever you decide.

My wifes favorite thing for me to do for her is fill her gas tank too? Most easy job to make her happy🙂 I could spend all weekend mowing the yard, washing her car, changing brake shoes, etc etc and what she notices and appreciates most is a full tank of gas. Oh well. Women?

Hell we could drive these guys nuts with a digicam if we hit the beaach on the weekend 😛 They will be booking plane tickets to come here on vacation 😉
 
Remember the last CFL AT meet hosted?

IIRC, the last thread update was somtething to the effect of:


UPDATE: NOBODY IS COMING. WE HAVE YET TO SEND OUT A SINGLE E-MAIL FOR DIRECTIONS.
 
No I probably was strictly in the hardware forums then. I'm sure we can round up at least 5 or 6 of us, especially when I have a set plan for where and what to do 😉 Come on! We can start off at the port eating seafood and drinking at the tiki bar or somethin' They would have a blast dude!
