I tend to spoil people

Just a second... I'll freepmail you my phone number! :-D

Too often is when *she* starts to not appreciate it anymore! When *she* starts to expect things like that because you always do it - then it is too often.

I dunno. My last husband was really good at this. He shoulda wrote the book for you. Sometimes it would be several weeks between surprises... and then sometimes there were a lot of surprises all at the same time. And "no" they didn't coincide with arguments or anything he was up to that I caught him at. I think it had more to do with his budget and when he got good ideas. He always sent cool unique stuff. I never in 9 years got a dozen red roses in one of those normal green vases. I wouldn't have minded - I'd have liked that too but I always got *at least* 13 roses - most of the time white ones cause they are my favorites - but no matter the color or type of flowers he sent there was *always* without fail one red rose in the bunch. I got lots of flowers. I like flowers. But, I also grow fragrant herbs and sometimes he would find some herb that I'd been searching all over for and just completely baffle me with it.

LOL! :)

Yep, that's my usual problem.

Hmmm--sounds like he was good at doing it regularly but still off-schedule enough to be surprising?

Not to changethe subject, but I gotta go to bed soon, and I wanted to remember to tell you...

Elf-boy got a replica of "Sting" from my mother last week. As soon as we got home, it wouldn't work, hence my trip the other day to Toys R Us. Got the sword exchanged, and it works (yea!). Tonight, he decides to sleep with his sword. Keep in mind, it makes sword fighting noises - it has a motion sensor in it, and it lights up blue. About every five to ten minutes, I hear a sword clash (and I even put it under his pillow), LOL!

I am going to have to remove it before I go to sleep or it will keep me up all night.
