VALENTINE’S Day. Not much more needs to be said, I have a conundrum.
It’s hard for a guy like me to make Valentine’s Day special when I treat my girlfriend so fantastically, shower-ing her with gifts all the time.
Ok, maybe it’s more of a light drizzle but still, paying double the price for a bunch of flowers just doesn’t seem right.
However, despite being told we don’t have to do gifts you just know a gift of some sort is expected.
Hell, even I’m expecting a gift and I said not to worry about gifts.
So it leaves me with the conundrum; what to give for Valentine’s Day?
I could try picking some flowers.
The notion seems somewhat romantic but I just know a handpicked bunch of flowers from my garden is going to look pretty rough.
The roses aren’t fairing the best due to a broken reticulation system so the only flowers blooming appear to be weeds.
Could I give a bunch of weeds? No, don’t be stupid, Andrew, even that is a little too low for you.
My girlfriend has already suggested a jazzed-up home-cooked meal for dinner (with candles etc) so I am saving some money there.
I also picked up a bargain when I last bought flowers; our anniversary falls just after Halloween, so I grabbed a discounted Halloween-themed bunch of flowers.
Why they had Halloween-themed flowers still is a mystery.
So maybe I will break even and just buy that overpriced bunch of flowers.
Another conundrum defeated.
I have one lucky girlfriend.
