VDay Fail
So, J woke up at the crack of 1:00 PM with heartburn and made a trip to CVS, whereupon he picked up a last minute valentine and filled it out in the car.
Better than nothing, except he's given me this exact same card before. Cartoon picture of a lazy husband on a couch, inside thanking me for not killing him even if I want to.
I asked him where he made reservations - as a joke. He said, "Denny's doesn't take reservations."
And now, it's 8 PM and he's crashed on the couch. He did let me watch an hour of Into the Woods without complaint. I guess that's my gift.
I wonder what my third husband will be like?
Re: VDay Fail
HA! Sorry but I had to LOL at that. I ask myself something similar all the time and that totally sounds like a D move. At least you have a sweet tiny Valentine to make up for it though. Men can be such doofs.
I have to agree with Karrey. Men can be dumbazzes. But to be fair, Vday sort of sets up the ones that aren't very creative for failure.
We went grocery shopping today and we were sitting in the car laughing at the men in sweatpants flocking to the floral department in a panic.
This is what I was thinking!
LOL at the 3rd hubs comment!
Your siggy pic of little miss scarlett is killing me! She is so cute!
DH and I agreed no gifts, so I figured no card either. So I was in his office early yesterday morning checking my emails and saw a pink envelope...totally $hit my pants and ran to the store! LOL! Sooo I was among the sweatpants douchebag hubs! hahah
This! And as far as the third hubby goes. . .I think you should give the one you have another chance even if he is a complete dumbazz when it comes to V-Day.
I'd take the repeat card over the whole lot of nothing I received and spending the day pretty much by myself. Oh well, nothing new.
I've decided you must lay out your expectations...for a full month in advance, I asked the hubs "what do you want for V-day?" and then followed with "you know i'm expecting flowers, right????" He delivered on the flowers. Smart man.
This is the first year I didn't give him a card....usually I go all out and pick a good one. I felt bad for about 5 minutes and then I got over it. He got me flowers, target giftcard, and a sweet card. I'm so mean, I figured I would turn the dissapointment table on him, but I have a feeling that he didn't even care one way or another about a dumb card. We girls usually care way more about stuff like that. Besides, he was happy with the pack of football cards I got him. We went to Applebees and watched "Valentine's Day", so I'd say our V-Day was success.
But we have definately had our share of fails.
Ohh, sweetie, I'm sorry your V-day was a dud and that J is clueless. I literally printed out pictures of bouquets that I like and left them for him with a note that said "You don't take hints well, I'd like one of these." It worked, I got a gorgeous bouquet that I love (exH never bought flowers, so Redneck giving them to me is a huge deal), and he wrote a note with the card that made me cry. I guess I'm saying don't be subtle - some guys just don't take hints. Some just need to be hit over the head with a heavy object...
