Romance is what works for you

February 14, 2007 in Miscellaneous by Julia | 2 comments

Flow­ers wilt. Candy goes right to my butt. I have plenty of teddy bears and other stuffed ani­mals; in fact I’ve given away dozens in the past few years. Now, a mushy Valen­tine card, that’s good. But a really roman­tic gift is one that shows that the giver thought of YOU instead of all the cliches.

DH gave me 1GB of RAM for my com­puter for Valentine’s Day. THAT was roman­tic — my poor com­puter was chok­ing and gasp­ing on its lousy 512 MB, and I depend on my com­puter for all sorts of things. Just like the lapdesk he gave me for Christ­mas a year ago, which has made my paper-grading much com­fier, and thus my life more pleasant.

Now THAT’S Romance, with a cap­i­tal R.

    That really is roman­tic! My hubby gave me an often-dreamed-of-but-seldom-mentioned Water­man foun­tain pen this Christ­mas, and included with it 3 Mole­sk­ine jour­nals. I’d never been so touched by any­thing he’d given me before. Roman­tic, indeed!
