OK, after you get married Valentine's Day is supposed to be awesome and wonderful.
Enter my job and my second trip of the month . . . I will not be with my husband for Valentine's Day.
I leave for Palm Desert (aka Palm Springs) tomorrow for work. I am super lucky and my best buddy Sheila and I get to play for a day before the rest of my sales team arrives for the conference. We plan on doing a lot of excellent shopping and hopefully some laying out by the awesome pool and I am SO excited to see her and get to spend some time with her. We don't get to see each other often enough -- However, like I said, this trip comes at the expense of Valentine's Day with my husband.
Granted, I don't have anything for him yet . . . and we were planning to celebrate next weekend, but here's the thing with THAT plan . . . Matt and his brother Taylor were supposed to go to the sand dunes with their ATV's this weekend, but Tay had to cancel because he got called in to work. So, being the AWESOME wife that I am . . . I told Matt we could put off our Valentine's Day celebration so that he and Taylor could spend President's Day weekend at the dunes. While I truly am totally fine with this arrangement, because I know how much Matt has been looking forward to this trip to the dunes, it presents the problem of VALENTINE'S DAY.
Wasn't getting married supposed to solve the whole stupid Valentine's Day issue? And what do you get a guy? Seriously? I mean, he doesn't want flowers, right? He just wants everything from the Victoria's Secret catalogue, and whilst I'm happy to try to oblige, my body just doesn't LOOK like that!
Could my present just be allowing him to go to the dunes without me on our planned Valentine's Day? That would be so much easier . . .
Ta-Daa! Sticky!

Sure, that would be easier. And it's obvious that he is excited about going to the Dunes...but you won't be naked at the Dunes, will you? Matt will LOVE you in some Victoria's Secret naughties and NOBODY looks like a model in that stuff. But Matt loves you and everything about you, so put on some body glitter and a lacy ensemble, have some chocolate-covered strawberries on hand and rock his world. Happy Valentines Day!
Woah. I was just in Palm Desert last month on business. More golf courses than...than...a place...well-known for a zillion golf courses...or something. The whole place is one big golf course sprinkled with ridiculously extravagant resort hotels and shopping for rich retirees. Oh and there lots of pictures of Tiger Woods, Bob Hope and other "golfy" celebrities everywhere. Kind of a weird oasis really. Have fun!
"Word" to what Julia said. That's right. You heard me: word.
