My dearest wife is always going on and on and ON about NOT making a fuss over her on Valentine's Day. She repeats that it's the thought that counts.

Well, I put a lot of thought into the gifts from previous February 14ths, but she didn't quite take to any of them like I assumed she would.

Here's my list–– see what you think:

●Brand new mop and bucket.
I was thinking it would be fun to see what colour the floor was because I couldn't remember.

●Romantic dinner at a fast food restaurant.
I was thinking that she might like to go inside for a change instead of fetching dinner at the drive through.

●Chocolates left-over from last year's candy box.
I was thinking of how proud she'd be of me for not wasting food. She's been nagging me for years to recycle.

●Midnight moped ride through the park.
I was thinking that I'm getting too old to be peddling on the bike.

●Dozen roses printed on high quality photo paper. One of my favourites is this––
I was thinking these would last a lifetime instead of just a week.

●45 second back massage.
I was thinking any longer and she might think I was interested in something else.

●Windows 7
I was thinking how proud she would be to be part of the technology crowd.
