"What do you want for your birthday/anniversary this year?" Mrs. Porch sweetly asked her darling husband.
"I really want ______. And here's my Amazon wish list."
"Okay. Cool." Mrs. Porch begins to look at said Amazon wish list and straight up laughs. Nothing on that list is a conventional gift. 75% or more of this list contains parts or equipment for the new Xterra. Further, nothing on said list is less than let's say $100. There's a Blu Ray player on this list for almost $500. I love you, Porch, but seriously? I work for Head Start.
I've been listening really carefully to his hints and had a few things maybe in mind. This seems to be the only way to surprise someone like Porch.
Porch had an eye exam at Target Boutique Friday morning and upon his return, walked through our front door with one of the items he had been hinting at wanting. Gimme a break here man! Perhaps he doesn't know how this gifting thing works, but when you ask someone for something, you don't just go out and buy it for yourself, especially this close to our anniversary (July 24 if you were curious). Sigh.
I'm about thisclose to just throwing money at him to get the surprise effect I'm looking for.
Making it rain (probably quarters or singles),
