Ok gals. I figured someone here can relate. I gave my husband a card this morning and said, "Happy Sweetest Day Sweetie!" And he said, "Uh-OH." I said that I put it on all the calendars.(since they don't list it anymore)
He said, "I know you did, I still forgot." All of this was said in good humor of course because he's always surprising me with little gifts.And I do the same. It's an ongoing thing everytime one of us goes to the hardware we holler after the other one, "Buy me a Toy." So he went out to go to work awhile ago and ...came back in with his hand behind his back and said, "Hey, I did buy you a gift, the other day when I went to the hardware." He presented me with a rubber mallet.hahahahahaaha I said You got me one of those a couple of years ago. He said , Not This BIG! hahahaha I feel "special!" Can anybody top that? Oh...and HAPPY SWEETEST DAY, SISTERS!

LOL!
When my hubby & I were first married he bought me a REAL hammer. I had a little one in my tool collection. With him being a carpenter he thought it was the worse thing ever for me to have a mini one to use.

Yes Teresa, I have quite a collection of tools now because of his "suprise gifts". We have "His 'n' Hers" tool boxes.(don't you dare touch mine unless you ask first)grrrrr hahaha
Oh...the saga contunues. I was tired and in bed when he came home last nite.So this morning I wondered if maybe he had a(more appropriate)gift for me. He usually makes up for it the next day when he forgets a "holiday." He didn't :( Wow! I guess after 3 years, the Honeymoon's over.Guess what I'm going to use that new rubber mallet for girls? lololol
And yes Diane, some folks are just plain lucky. And I'm glad he wished you a Happy Sweetest Day! You needed to be "sweet-talked."haha

I love practical gifts also. My DH & I were at a CSEA week-end meeting and everyone decided to go to the casio for dinner so I got $20. to play in the machine (I lost) and he brought my dinner. One of the girls with us won $2700. and another took home $150.profit. The 1st one spent about $500. that night and the other won $800 but spent most of. That is crazy. I didn't even like losing the $20. and it wasn't even mine. But he did say Happy Sweetest day when he gave me the money.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

This year, my Christmas list includes a cordless screwdriver/drill and an orbital sander. Not very romantic, perhaps, but totally what I desire! |

I'm jealous, I love getting tools of all kinds, and them mallets have a problem with sprouting wings and flying away, lol.

What a guy! I had no idea it was Sweetest Day day today. Never heard of it. I sure hope you have a good one, though. And a rubber mallet is sure a handy thing to have around. I have gotten a wheelbarrow and a big yellow garden wagon from hubby.
