About

Long, long ago in a blogosphere far, far away, we met in each other's comments. Who would have guessed that three years later we'd be married and blogging about our two daughters? Not us, but here we are!

Best.Husband.Ever.

So I finally got around to folding a basket of sheets that has been sitting in the middle of our bedroom floor for days and days and days, and when I went to put them away, what did I find?

A pound of chocolates.

Seriously.

He should write a book.  He really should.

  1. Sounds like some sort of mental conditioning to me. Do chores=find candy.  grin [peers suspiciously at Jay]

    Kidding aside, that was very swwet!

  5. That is SO COOL!
    What kind of chocolates were they? (I’m jealous, I have to know...)

  6. I think they were Russell Stover, in a heart box, from the rack at Shaw’s that was labeled 50% off the leftovers, and actually rang up at 75% off.  To my amazement, last trip to Shaw’s they actually charged the correct prices or less for every item!

    Anyway, I bought it for giggles, figuring it was a fairly inexpensive treat we could share.  Deb didn’t come right away to investigate the groceries when I came in with them, so it occurred to me I could stash it.  I stuck it up on the shelf in our closet, basically in plain sight but not if you didn’t just happen to look.  It took way longer than I expected for her to notice.

    So half the deal was the surprise, not the chocolates guys.  We did absolutely nothing to mark Valentine’s Day.  Neither of us care much about that specifically.  We just do this kind of thing the rest of the time.  It is so much the thought that matters, not the item or scope of it.  When I bring one candy bar, perfectly timed, that’s better than ten pounds of Hilliard’s chocolates on one designated day when Everybody’s Doing It.
