So i come home tonight and my wife greets me with a huge grin...saying "i've got a surprise for you in your office" now as i've stated on here before my office isn't a place to "work at home" it's just a title of a room that has a computer in it...and wall to wall gi joe/transformers/etc
so i dash upstairs like some kind of 5 year old and look around yelling "how big is it?" i'm scanning the room looking for something anything that is new or out of place...nothing...nothing at all...figuring she's just screwing with me i bound back down the stairs and say "where did you get it" she responds with her usual nondescript answer and after about 10 minutes of the back and forth she says...go look on the printer upon doing so i find an email printed out that states: "Congratulations! You are an officer level member of the gi joe collector club!" i shriek like a little girl...if a little girl could have a bartone style scream...i shout "do you KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!?!" my 20 year old daughter comes out of her room and says "um...you're completely crazy?" my wife says..."no...and honestly i don't care either" i said "well i'll tell you ladies what this means...it MEANS i'm getting a dialtone next year!!" my 17 year old daughter has sinced joined the gathering and whips out her cell and says..."whoopdi do...i've got a dialtone right now" anyway i had to share this with a world of people who could give a crap...my wife i love her for she knows not what she does...this wasn't for any particular reason i mean it's monday...october 4th no anniversary birthday or otherwise specially observed day in our lives...and yet she does something thoughtful like this? i'd love to get her the same present but i don't think she'd get the enjoyment from it that i will...which means i now have to figure out what she wants without asking or even hinting at it. anyway thanks for listening but this was just too awesome not to hold in |

That's pretty freaking awesome man. Sorry to hear you gotta catch the flak from the teen/post-teen daughters though. They could never understand.

and yeah my wife is flippin awesome...she just asked me "so that's the hisstank's member site?" i explained the differences and purposes of the tank...i stopped when her eyes glazed over and she was nodding even when i wasn't saying anything to agree with...but suffice to say she rocks...the fact that she relied completely on her "googling skills" to find something that i didn't have that she could suprise me with...she hit it spot on i'd never even mentioned this site...i always told myself that i would join at some point "later" now if she starts "surprise shopping" at the site...that may take some "suggestive discussion" ;) |
