Even though we'd decided no gifts for us this year, especially with the cost of my 2700 mile commute, I did pick up a little surprise gift tonight. Had to come down to the big city for a meeting, stopped by the jewlery store and picked out a very nice diamond bracelet. Should go nicely with the ring I had made for our anniversary.

Hey...what can I say? I'm a giver.

She enjoys it too......it shows that I love her and am still interested in her.

Even at 42 years old and after having twins (who are now 2 years old) she still looks hot....5' 2" and 105 lbs.

No, not really. I usually shop at Victoria's Secret or a nice department store like Nordstroms.

I just like a certain look, and I know it when I see it.

I have a big surprise this year for my husband. Before we were married I lost the negative to his Top Gun photo and the only print is gone as well. Two weeks ago I was able to contact the TG secretary at Fallon where TG moved in the '90s. They don't have any negatives older than 1990 and he went in '80--but she found it among other classes framed on their walls. At first the commander told her she couldn't take it down because it might ruin it but she had their photo experts convince the commander it could be done. Not only that, but many of the older photos are turning yellow so they are scanning all of them to preserve them.

Yesterday she mailed me an 8x10 and a CD so I can have other enlargements made. I'm going to make a poster for him to hang in his classroom (he teaches HS) as a surprise for Christmas. I'm so excited about it! Oh, and I also got him 3 hand made tools for his leather work.

She'll be nicely surprised, I'm sure Since we are DINKs at the moment, it's easier to spoil her on occasion. When/If children enter the picture, our priorities will be different.

Suginami, thanks for the feedback....may have to make one more little purchase before next week.

Well,....... in that case you'd like my French Maid outfit.

Make sure she really is asleep!

Maid outfit! hehehe, not a bad idea.

Maybe I'll have to have her do some dusting around the house, something down low....
