Friday Rants & raves
lol thanks - always good to have a women's perspective! Of course he was showing it off to my parents today. I do like it - I am sure I was just being extra hormonal - maybe there are some acrylics in my future.... can't oil paint thats for sure!
Oh and of course I couldn't mention any of this to him - he'd be devistated! Thank GOD for the ladies here!

I think most of us can relate. (yes I know I am late weighing in but.... 
)
MEN are not WOMEN! This is why we married them. Very, very, very few men actually excell in this department. It's ok. My hubby does crap like this too.... you need to remind yourself that atleast he remembered at all...
When your not pregnant and hormonal, try dicussing it with him. I did, and DH felt like poo... and so did I but now we go on joint shopping trips for birthdays and christmas. I drag him through art stores and book stores and he drags me through hunting/fishing stores. I remember last year for my birthday he wanted to get me this hideous bracelet from walmart (yeah we're chap! LOL he knows better than to buy something real so when it's covered in paint or lost...) It was SO not me... all pink and crap-very girlie.... so anyways there was this fake diamond heart there and it was big like 4 carrot size and all sparkly and I wanted it. It took me 45 minutes of convincing him that yes, it was what I wanted and no... it doesn't look like something I would want but to please buy it...
he did. and them I pitched the chain and drug him to the art store to pick out an awesome black ribbon to hang it from as a chocker... then he admitted it was perfect.
now he knows... and he knows that I'd rather for-go the surprise.
makes our relationship better.
just my advice. No man can live up to Mr. Darcy. Jane Austen said that all of her charchters after a bit of termoil would always have their happy endings. She never got hers.
