A Stone's Valentine Surprise
So all week long, my DH, the wanderer himself, has been an the verge of being giddy. That's right. Giddy. He has bailed out on an awful lot of V-days in the past and he had cooked up something amazing for me. He was obviously very proud of himself because he kept mentioning how I was going to get something "sparkly".
Anyone who knows me knows that while I will wear jewlery, I am notorious for having chains break or earings fall out.....usually in direct relationship to the cost of the item in question. So I didnt' really expect a diamond, but I had dropped hints about wanting a 50mm prime lens several times.....
Last night I was ready for bed but he kept stalling, finally I realized he was waiting for midnight so he could say "Happy Valentine's Day." I figured he would save the surprise for later, but was I wrong! He dashed into the garage and came back with a huge box........
Check it out! Isn't it fantastic? I've said it would be nice to have a bigger monitor and I've drooled but since my old one was fine, I didn't ever really consider an upgrade. I didn't know how much I wanted it till it was in my arms.....and now that I'm using said 22 inch widescreen monitor, let me tell you....I FREAKING LOVE IT! Size DOES matter.....my old monitor (not to shabby in itself is on the left for comparison)
So to all you poor chicks who just got chocolote and roses......HA! HA! My husband rocks! As one woman pointed out....flowers die, but I'll look at that monitor every day and remember how much he loves me and how he took the time to figure out the perfect gift that I would have NEVER thought to buy for myself. (Plus he gets cool points for not just buying the first one he saw.....he told me how he shopped around and researched to get the right one! extra cool points!)
All I have to say is....
