AW:... interesting Pre-Vday gift...

So, I'm here at work til 8... I have a customer come in and then one of those Edible Arrangement people come in with a 'bouquet' for me! 

Wha?!? I read the card:

Hoochie Mamma... (semi joke)

Happy Vday-something yellow (which is my fav color) AND edible! and... "blah blah blah"

Love ya, DH

 

So, DH got me fruit for vday... (interesting... ) said it reminded him of when he first gave me flowers-yellow daisies-there's pineapple on them.  AND-he called me chubby last week (don't ask-I was downright p!ssed), so he feels he's helping me with getting me fruit... No, he seriously knows I've been working hard and those choc cov cherries I'm dying for would do me in.

Semi aw... he means well, I know he does.  And he said flowers would have been much cheaper...

So, I can share them with my male coworker... and bring em home and share w the skids later, too... and him... hmmmm.... wait a minute... I see something clearly wrong here... (I'm demanding a back massage now!)

 I think I've truly scared him from giving me more 'normal' gifts in the past...

 

Re: AW:... interesting Pre-Vday gift...

  • YUmmmmmmmmm! I would be all over one of those edible arrangments!

    ANd they are way more $$ then a lot of flowers!

    Did he get a junk punch for the chubby comment?

  • Oh, it was quite interesting...

    It's one thing to say I am looking 'chubby' BEFORE I start working out like a fiend.  It's another to say it AFTERWARDS AND when he sees the lovely belly roll with tights on.  "oh, you did get chubby."  and then wonder why I'm pssed.   Granted, he didn't know me at my 'finest'-aka chubbiest-est...

    I do love fruit, though...!  

    Yes, he mentioned it would have been cheaper to get me daisies =)

     

  • I love you Lori, because you're happy with the edible arrangements.  I always tell DH when those commercials come on that if he buys me fruit, no matter how delicious and expensive it is, I will junk punch him until our future kids have no chance.

    But I have to be clear with him.  One year I asked him for the kissing Hallmark dogs.  He instead, bought me a candle that had no scent and pecan turtles.  I AM ALLERGIC TO PECANS.  

    Enjoy your yummy fruit!  Perhaps this muffin top would dissapear if I did eat some fruit!

  • Thanks!
    Seriously, we weren't getting gifts...

    Glad there's OpenTable.com cause I just made a reservation for anything for Sunday!  Well, it looks pretty good-where I picked...

    That stinks about the pecans... I have to be clear w DH, too, though...

    again, fruit & chocolate fondue w the kids on Friday!  I'll be the AWESOME step-mom to them this wkend!  =)

  • Haha, Hoochie Mama.  Your DH is cute.

  • Awww, Edible arrangements are awesome! 

    I'm getting flowers.  I know this because he used my login at Proflowers and I got the email confirmation.  Surprise  Redneck said "Well, you don't know what the card says!  And I put a lot of thought into that."  LOL he's so cute.

  • Flowers---nice, Wendi! They try... (laughing that he used your login... )
  • I would love to get an Edible Arrangement! I send them as gifts sometimes, and they are hella expensive, but they look and taste great. And at least you got something. . . We don't do Vday gifts, but I was giving N a hard time the other day because he's only brought me flowers 3 times in the 4 years that we've been together.
