A friend and coworker of Manly Man asked my advise tonight. He wants to purchase a gift for a woman he admires who has recently been promoted. She is now a master trainer at the gym he works out in.
I suggested he go to one of those engraving places and get her a little plaque or statue with something heart felt engraved on it. No overtly romantic gestures and no expectations. Just be a nice guy.
He said Manly Man had suggested a hand gun, bfff. Now, let me tell you a little about Manly Man. He gives flowers ,diamonds, sapphires, chainsaws, tillers, greenhouses, and shotguns. He will move a greenhouse where ever I want it. He makes excellent monkeys. He is the best gift giver ever. He is one of the best cooks I know. That's right, I said it. He can cook as good as I can. You should see the necklace I received for mothers' day this year. Gorgeous. My man has it all figured out. I won't even talk about the really good stuff.
I am one lucky woman.

Good for you! I've got one of those too... thank goodness or I'd be all over the board! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you! I sometimes feel that I'm a bit gushy going on about my husband. I love mine too. And I miss him.
ReplyDeleteshibaguyz and foxy, It figures I would follow with this just two days after he scared the ever lovin life out of me.
ReplyDeleteI love my Cheesehead to death too. Some men are wonderful and some should never get married. I'm glad we picked some keepers (even if they like to play a dirty trick now and then).
ReplyDeleteWe stopped exchanging gifts after we moved to Rhinelander, but he's thoughtful and helpful. I guess it's easy for us to forgive and forget when our men are so sweet, isn't it?
Cinj, I agree and good man is a hard to find. I am very thankful. As far as forgiving and forgetting, no way, I am getting even.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of the whole story (imo) is "he cooks". The other stuff is nice, but a man who cooks! Damn, that's sexy!
ReplyDeleteGotta love a partner who knows when it's time to give diamonds and when it's time to give a chainsaw! --Curmudgeon
ReplyDeleteYou are a blessed woman Deb! My hubby is a great gift giver too. ;)
ReplyDeleteNola, yes it is.
ReplyDeleteCurmudgeon, He does a great job figuring out what I need and when.
Racquel, thanks and I'm happy for you too.
I have a son-in-law who cooks. I can see why. I would rather my daughter be the disher-washer than the cook. He even plans the menus and writes the grocery list. She's got it made in the shade.

Brenda, sounds like a lucky girl.

ReplyDeleteGail, sounds like you have a winner too.
