On "Who wants my Nokia E61i Smartphone?" in Julie's gear diary:
My Valentines Day was full of emotions. As a intro, I wanted to say I am the guy of the relationship and I am married to a very beautiful girl.
Before, every year when my wife and I were dating I would always surprise her with little hints on Valentines day about how much I cared.
For example, and feel free to use this... I would leave post its all over her car that had numbers on them, and when she put them in order and made a little flip book out of it with animation (usually stick figures) and a rose or a pink tulip and a little note about happy valentines day.
This year was our first year being married and celebrating Valentines Day. As the day got closer and closer, I was suspicious that she was already thinking that I was going to give her something, so whenever we went out with my friends I would always tell them that after getting married, Valentines Day is nulled since there is always love and there's no need for a special day to be reminded. That kept on being the subject as we got closer and closer to Valentines Day, and you would be able to tell by her expression that she was getting less and less aware of Valentines Day.
The day before Valentines day, she was very agitated, probably due to work or just being tired, and I wasn't helping much by not doing anything and watching the basketball game and vegging out like I usually do after work.
She started to talk about what we were going to do tomorrow (Valentines Day) such as run errands and go buy some groceries for the weekend, but I kept saying that I didn't feel like doing anything and I wanted to just stay home and go to sleep early since I have an early day on Friday. With that said, she just stormed out of the living room and went straight to bed and "slept" or probably was pouting because by then she was really convinced that she wasn't getting anything and we weren't doing anything.
--I'm sure you guys are wondering what I did for her or if she's still angry at me today--
Yesterday (Valentines Day) She received two packages... one package of Flowers and another package of sweets. I would have put something in her car that morning, but since we work so far from each other now and work at different times.. I didn't get to do that, but schedule a delivery instead.
On the card, it said the usual mushy message that all guys take forever to think of or grab from an online source. And told her that I couldn't wait for her to come home.
I received a phone call later that day with a speechless wife on the phone tell me how much of a jerk I was the day before and that I shouldn't mess with her emotions and how much she loved me. All in all, it worked out pretty good because she loved the flowers and the candy, and that night I took her out to a great restaurant in downtown LA that was superb.
To summarize, I got her angry at me and then made her feel like nothing was going to happen, until she got to work, when she found the little surprises and looked forward to a great night out for dinner.
The end..
