Pewter.

Talk about irony.

I can feel the love. Ain’t it grand?

I got him a nice bottle of wine, a nice cigar, and a $50 gift certificate to Golf Galaxy. We are going to take our 6 year old son out to dinner tonight as well.

I’m visiting her at college for the weekend, but we promised not to get each other Valentine’s Day presents.

So I went to several stores looking for President’s Day cards, but no one makes any! It was an outrage. I ended up getting an American flag and a blank card that says, “Birthday Greetings,” on the front. It is in honor of Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays, afterall. On the inside I wrote, “Thinking of you on President’s Day, Love, **Holden** ”

I made her a mix CD of romantic and damn cool songs and called it: “Here Comes Your Man - A President’s Day Record”. I started it out with the Pixies track, “Here Comes Your Man” that is very much not a romantic song if you can hear any of the lyrics besides the chorus.

She likes my beat-you-over-the-head-with-a-gag type humor. I can’t wait to give it all to her.

Something he’s wanted a long time.

A programmable coffeemaker

My GF is totally anal about always writing everyone thank-you cards. My family just loves her for that, they think she’s soooo perfect (and I quite agree). So, instead of a big red cheesy V-tines day card, I got a big thank-you card that’s blank inside, and I’m gonna write thank you for…and list all the great things she does.

And I sent her **2** dozen roses at work today. All the other women were jealous. I like to make her look special in front of everyone.

Am I good or what?
