This
is going to be a busy, busy day. First
off I take my wife to the doctor, then we rush home and pack the dogs in the
car and take them to their monthly grooming appointment, then we will need to
get groceries and supplies and be back in time to pick the dogs up. Yes, and of course it would be nice if I can
squeeze in some time to work on my “paying” job. Now, on top of all that it is my wife’s
birthday. Yep, you guessed it, she is thirty-nine
and holding. Looks pretty good for her
age I must say.
Now
what should I do special for her today?
She does not like to eat out and will not eat cake and can’t eat ice
cream since her system cannot handle milk products. I suppose I could find a nice place for her
to get a salad; that is if we have time.
Can’t do it at noon since that is around the time we get the call to
come get the brats, no I mean the lovely dogs, and we will barely have time to
unload the groceries before we get the call that they are again pretty and
ready to come home. They are always
really happy to see us and of course it is quite lonely and quiet around here
when they are missing. We are going to
have a full day so maybe I will take my wife shopping on QVC or HSN and let her
get herself something special.
You
all have a great day now, you hear? And
you may just want to celebrate my wife’s birthday, too. The poor young thing being stuck with an old
fart like me; don’t you feel sorry for her?
How bout you just tell her to take the day off? Let her loaf around the house while you haul dogs and all the other chores? For supper have her favorite dinner delivered!! And put on her favorite movie..
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your wife!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the missus!
ReplyDeleteA good book is always a nice gift!
Tell your lovely wife, Happy Birthday! Then go feed the dogs, make supper, take out the trash, do the dishes, finish up your paying job and colapse on the couch.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the birthday wishes for my wife and the suggestions for what I should do. I will ponder it over and make a list for next year (grin).
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your wife. My husband bought me a new laptop for my birthday a few weeks ago. Thankfully he skipped over the small models and got me a big screen. I can put off getting reading glasses for another year!
ReplyDeleteAlways better to let her pick out the gift...can't go wronge. My husband is good at gift giving..me.. not so much.
Jill, you got a nice gift. My wife got a 17" laptop a few years back (I upgraded to one that size this year). The big screen is nice and allows for a lot more windows to be visible at one time. Happy belated birthday.
ReplyDeleteDizzy-Dick,
ReplyDeleteIs your wife lactose intolerant or does she have a milk allergy? If the later, as my Mother had, then boiling the milk will allow her to eat a custard ice cream. That is what I grew up eating and didn't know there was any other kind of ice cream until I left home. My mother could also drink/use condensed milk but not regular milk.
Ed, I think she is intolerant, but she can eat a little frozen yogurt once in awhile.
