Good God! And I can't help looking, because I also just toss most of them. Now days, I go to the Dollar store and pick up 2 for $1. My hubby does shop for cards because after a couple years of not getting anything for birthday or anniversary, I warned him that at the VERY LEAST he could get me a card. <br /><br />He went a little far when I was out of town for Mother's Day (kids were very young and with me) and I come home to a card and carnations (told him not to to waste $ on roses either--carnations are just as pretty and cheaper!) only to find out he drove to the store sick with the flu, actually threw up in the car on the way there, but figured he'd better get that darn card! Either that's love, or he's just scared of me.<br /><br />He knows now: throwing up = a pardon on the card.Stacey Joy Netzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908548379784017162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-57454733023076098112009-09-29T23:05:00.429-05:002009-09-29T23:05:00.429-05:00It's 12:02 and I just got home.

They can be expensive and I can always write a letter or poem to show him how much I care. As a matter of fact, he's kept all those letters. *G* I usually keep the wonderful cards he buys me (and he does actually shop for them) for 2 or 3 weeks and then I throw them away. <br />My hubs shows me he morning when he scoops the cat litter (he has mornings I have nights), when he pushes me to get my shower first because I have a headache, but most of all? When he makes phone calls for me and shops for those feminine items at the grocery store for me. *G* <br />We say I love you all the time. It's harder to see all the little things sometimes and easy to say the words. <br /><br />As for the contest? I would be most delighted to win, but if I don't-your book is already in my TBB list, anyway *G*Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-44601290738603958972009-09-29T19:33:52.022-05:002009-09-29T19:33:52.022-05:00Mary Ann,

I AM aware, however, that there are many nifty gifts your honey can buy for that special occasion to show you how much he cares. <br /><br />Just listen to some of the things I have received! A Dremel, for example. With attachments! Or how about the time that I got a new TV, all for my very own? It only came with one remote, and that was for him, but hey! The TV was mine! It fit in the living room entertainment center as if it had been made for it.<br />And then there was the time I received a beautiful Nintendo Wii gaming system! Oh BOY! I can bowl at least four frames before my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome kicks in and my fingers go completely numb. Then I just hand the controls to hubby and let him finish up. He has, over time, bought me an assortment of games to practice my wrestling, shooting, and driving skills, and I often spend countless time watching him demonstrate various techniques while trying to regain the feeling in my hands. The Wii works beautifully with my very own television.

One late late night around my birthday he not only walked across half the city to sleep at my place rather than his own after a party, but on his way there also stole me a bus stop sign.<br /><br />Explanation required, I hear you. My last name happens to be identical with the name of a well-known location, and thus a bus stop, in my city. The sign was for the night route, so it has a cute little crescent moon next to my name – all in the blue and white color scheme of the local bus company. <br /><br />He would never have bought me a Hallmark card. Stealing a public sign was much more his style. =DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-79202508534684783182009-09-29T14:53:43.402-05:002009-09-29T14:53:43.402-05:00Catslady,
