Day 13

Well, I've been looking forward to Day 13. I knew it would be one of my wife's favorites...

Coupons for 13 Cereal Suppers.

Vicki LOVES cereal. She'd eat it for most every meal, if she was allowed to. So, she's got 13 times when I won't say, "cereal again?..."

Of course, her comment was "only 13?" Next year, she wants this on the 24th...

Oi! I'm way behind!!

OK - here's the short short version...

Day 9: 9 Nien coupons - trumps all other plans, when she just feels like doing nothing...

Day 10: didn't really have anything in mind, but I found her a tool kit for the house. That'll work.
(and lest you roll your eyes at a husband buying tools for his wife, remember this is Vicki we're talking about. She does all the fixing of stuff around here. You really don't want to see what I do with tools...)

Day 11: 11 hug coupons.

Day 12: Volumes 1 and 2 of one of our favorite DVDs - Animusic. We LOVE Animusic, and she didn't even know that Animusic 2 was out yet. Sweet!

And, if you have NO idea what Animusic is, ask. It's AMAZING...

There. Caught up. I'll try to stay current... I may not succeed, but I'll try. After all, if at first you don't succeed, keep on suckin' 'til you do suck seed. :-D

Hear the Lion ROAR!!!

This is a quick post - just got home from a pre-release screening of The Chronicles Of Narnia, and wanted to say two things...

1) GO! GO SEE IT!! It's just as amazing as we were all hoping it would be. Vicki and I were thrilled, and yes - I was weeping like a leaky faucet through a lot of it. GO! What are you sitting there reading this for? GO SEE IT!!! :-D

-and-

2) Huge thanks to our family at Cornerstone University who gave us this amazing Christmas gift, for you see, the pre-release screening was for staff, faculty, and families from CU. What an amazing treat - thanks to all who made it possible...

Now, get outta here... Go see it. Now. Drop whatever you have to and go see Narnia. Go. Now.

:-D

And, yes - Vicki and I will be going again sometime this weekend - probably one of the later showings on Sunday. Maybe we'll see you there. :-)







What? Are you still here? Go...

Day 7 & 8

Day 7 brought a certificate for a celebration of the 7th - August 7th that is. Our anniversary. :-D

Day 8 is for 8 Milk Duds - to be enjoyed at the pre-release screening of The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe tonight. And, yes - she can have more than 8 Milk Duds... :-D

Day 9 will be something fun... details tomorrow.

Day 6

Today, Vicki discovered that sometimes things come in forms that don't fit inside the little cubby hole, such as 6 coupons for hugs. (And, that also satisfies her curiosity about where all that cardstock went that I was printing on...)

She has been enjoying her daily gifts... Now, that seems like a "duh" statement. But you have to know Vicki - she lives in the world of data and computer and manipulation of information. The warm, fuzzy world of a 25 day Christmas stocking is not something that generally makes a major foothold in her psyche. It's not that she doesn't appreciate it - it's just that it tends to get put in it's place along with the other 5000 or so other things that she's running through her head at the same time. And, I understand and accept the fact that, most of the time, my wife's attention is divided into so many pieces that you can't even see the pie anymore - and yes, that does include attention for her hubby. ('s ok - I know where her heart lies. :-D ) So, for this (admittedly) small thing to make an impact on her day-to-day thought processes is something indeed. :-D

To quote the ever-profound Hannah, "good times indeed."
